Parts Lists Requiring Update Report
You can use the Parts Lists Requiring Update report to list all parts lists in a structure that are affected by a change to their source BOM. You can view the changes that have been made to the sBOM and select how to manage those changes in each parts list.

Be aware of these implementation notes when updating parts lists from the report:

• If you close the report after invoking an Update Parts List action, the update will continue until complete.
