Replacements Tab
The Replacements tab is visible when the selected part (or part master) has a parent in the redline structure tree.
The Replacements tab includes the Substitutes table for viewing the existing defined substitute parts for the selected part in the BOM redline. This table allows you to add or remove parts, and edit parts that are certified to be used as a substitute. The Replacements tab in the BOM redline structure browser highlights the changes when you plan modifications to the substitute parts.
The following table describes actions and icons shown in the default table view on the Replacements tab:
