Replace Recipe Structure Component

Explanation

This activity is used to replace a component in a selected recipe structure.

Note: If the selected structure is in a state that allows update (i.e., Tentative or Plannable) or Buildable on a site with the site rule Simplified, the system exchanges the old component for the new component. If the structure is in a state that does not allow update (Buildable state), the system phases out the old structure and its associated part revision and creates a new part revision, copying all existing structures alternatives and replacing the old component with the new component in the new structure alternative.

Prerequisites

This activity requires that all components must be defined in Inventory Part. The structures of the parts must have been entered.

System Effects

As a result of this activity, the system replaces a component in a selected recipe structure.
