Copying Production BOM Versions by Using the Copy BOM Header Function

When working with long production BOMs or slight changes in the versions, it is useful to copy an existing version of a production BOM into a new version or into an existing version. Already existing lines are overwritten in the destination version.

When you use the Copy BOM Header function, the lines are copied from the first version.

To Copy Production BOM Versions by Using the Copy BOM Header Function:

  1. Open the Production BOM window.

  2. Click Prod. BOM, Versions.

  3. If you want to create a new version, follow the procedure for how to create new versions. Remember to fill in the new version number before you copy. If you want to copy to an existing version, check whether this version is to be overwritten and make sure the Status field is not set to Certified.

  4. Click Functions, Copy BOM Header, and then click Yes.

    The lines of the first BOM version are copied into the current version, where you can further edit them.

  5. Change the Status field to Certified.
