Adding Replacement Parts
Replacement Parts allows you to define alternate relationships between parts, indicating that one part can be used in place of another. This functionality is essential for maintaining flexibility and efficiency in managing parts within any structure.
You can define replacement part at a Part level in following ways:
• Independent of the Product
• Within the context of a Product (Service BOM)
To add a replacement part:
1. Navigate to Product Replacements tab.
2. Click New. A New Product Replacement window is displayed.
3. Provide the details for the fields as described in the following table.

Is Two Way

For example, if Screen is a Base Product and Glass Cover is a Replacement Product, and the Is Two Way is checked, then,

• Screen is a Replacement Product for Glass Cover.
