Replace Cost Template Occurrences
Explanation
Use this activity to perform a global search and replacement of cost
templates. You can switch templates for the part you have specified only, or for the
entire structure.
You can also leave out the specified part, and perform the replacement
for one or several parts further down in the structure. If for example the part you have
specified has the template M-110, and a component (or several) further down in the
structure has the template P-110, and you want to replace this with P-120, you do this by
specifying P-110 in the Template field, and P-120 in the New Template field, and clicking
OK. Also, when you want to include more than the specified part, you have to mark the
Include Components check box.
You can also do this replacement for a site by leaving the Part No field
blank. You can limit the operation to a specific cost set within the site, or, by leaving
the Cost Set field blank, do the replacement for the entire site.
Note: You cannot perform this activity for cost set 1.
Prerequisites
You must use the concept of Cost Estimator in your business.
