Be aware of these implementation notes when updating parts lists from the report:
• You cannot carry out any other update actions while an Update Parts List action invoked from the report is still running. A progress bar and confirmation dialog will keep you informed of progress.
• If you close the report after invoking an Update Parts List action, the update will continue until complete.
