Hi Everyone,
I noticed one thing in Bill of Material and I think it is a bug, please correct me if I am wrong.

I created a BOM say:
BOM-940-000101-001
BOM Items:

610-001002
750-001005

Another BOM:
BOM-950-100001-001
BOM Items:

410-000540
415-110011
940-000101

Now the BOM, BOM-950-100001-001 clearly tells that the 940-000101 is a Sub-Assembly used in the BOM.

So the Exploded BOM of BOM-950-100001-001 Will Show:

410-000540
415-110011
610-001002
750-001005

Now, I created one another BOM,
BOM-960-100001-001
BOM Items:

110-001001
950-100001

So the Exploded BOM of BOM-960-100001-001 Will Show:

410-000540
415-110011
610-001002
750-001005
110-001001

Now, my after submitting both the BOM’s I realized that 610-001002 cannot be a part of BOM-940-000101-001, so I opened the BOM and revised it.
The BOM became:
BOM-940-000101-002
BOM Items:
750-001005

After that, I used BOM Replace Tool and Replaced
BOM-940-000101-001 with BOM-940-000101-002, and it got replaced.

Now, the issue comes here, when I see the Exploded BOM of
BOM-950-100001-001 It Shows:

410-000540
415-110011
750-001005

where 610-001002 is not a Raw Material in the Exploded BOM.
Whereas when I see the Exploded BOM of BOM-960-100001-001
It Shows:

410-000540
415-110011
610-001002
750-001005
110-001001

I mean, it still shows that 610-001002 is a Raw Material used in the Exploded BOM.

Hello,

Thanks for elaborating your query.

BOM #940 is not directly linked in the BOM #960, but it’s via BOM #950. Though you have replaced BOM #940, but since there was no reference in the BOM #960, it didn’t get updated. Seem like it will require an update of BOM #950, and then it should work fine. Can you try it once please?

@rohit_w can you please check if this is an issue?

Hi Umair,
I agree that, after replacing BOM #950 it will work, but what if I have N levels of BOM and if the lower level get replaced via BOM Replace Tool, in that case, I need to update all BOM, which will again create a revision for all the BOM, then there is no use of using BOM Replace Tool.

I hope, you are agree with me.

Hello Ruchin,
