You can use this feature to phase out or replace a component
part in one or several specific structures or in all structures.
By clearing the Update all Effective Structures check box, the window will populate
all structures in which the components are effective and you can select the
structures you want to replace the component with.
The replacement of a component can be done for:
If structures exist with a parent part phase-in date
earlier than the component part phase-in date, a new revision will be
created. There is a check box that will be selected if this is the situation for
one or more structures.
If the structure has an existing phase-out date and if a new revision is
created then the new revision will have the same phase-out date.
These rules are independent of the site rules which are valid for manufacturing.
There are different rules depending on how you have managed to set up
manufacturing for the site.
If the site rules are simplified, you have the option of creating new revisions.
Even if the site rules do not generate new revisions, you can override the site
rules by selecting the Create New Revision check box.
You can create a new revision in the same status as the
revisions that you will replace, by selecting the Create Revision check box in
same status as the existing status.
If you have more than one alternate structure for the same revision and one of
the alternates gets a new revision, all alternates will get new revisions, because
revision is per structure and not per alternate.
Below are rules over how the time for the phase-out date and structures phase-in
date works in relation to each other.
| Structure Status | Site Rule | Check Box New Revision | Consequence | Comment |
| Tentative Plannable |
Restricted Enhanced Simplified |
The changes will be done in the existing revision and no new revisions will be created. | ||
| Buildable | Restricted Enhanced |
New revision will be created. Existing revision, Phase Out Date = Today New Revision, Phase In Date = Tomorrow |
The new structure
status will depend on: Choice in the window. Default structure status rules in Site window. |

| Buildable | Simplified | The changes will be done in the existing revision and no new revisions will be created | ||
| Buildable | Simplified | Selected | New revision will be created. The application will handle the same way as it does if the site rule is restricted or enhanced. |

status will depend on: Choice in the window. Default structure status rules in Site window. |

New revision will be created. Existing revision, Phase Out Date = Phase Out Date for the Component Part New Revision, Phase In Date = The day after the Phase Out Date for the existing revision.

*1 This situation can lead to that a structure can be set to Buildable before the phase-in date of the component in this structure.
