Change to a BOM Header: Example

The BOM for the Racing bicycle MRB01 (Plant 0001, Usage 01) is changed with change number CH01 . The valid-from date for the change (07/01/1996) comes from the change number.

The alternative text of BOM MRB01 is changed. When you make a change with reference to a change number, the "old" value of the field is retained. The system creates a new BOM header for the BOM.
