Replace Product Structure Component
Explanation
This activity is used to replace a component in a selected product 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 activity causes the system to exchange 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

Inventory
