Replace Component Where Used

You use this program to replace stocked and non-stocked components against a selection of non-stocked parent codes used in Estimates.

The replacement(s) can be applied to estimates that are under development, available for use, or both.

Estimate Component Replace Where Used

Field Description
Process Replacement

Select this to replace the existing component with the new valid substitute component with immediate effect.

Multimedia and Custom Form data attached to the current component are copied to the replacement (substitute) component if the replacement component does not already exist on an estimate. If the replacement component already exists and has the same sequence number as the current component, then Multimedia and Custom Form data is retained against the existing component and is not overridden with the data against the replacement component.

If the replacement component already exists on an estimate and it has the same sequence number as the component to replace, then the Structure Already Exists screen is displayed. This screen gives you the option to skip the replacement or to accumulate the quantities.
Parent non-stocked code selection  
Non-stocked code selection Indicate the non-stocked parent item(s) you want to include in the replacement process.
List of non-stocked codes Indicate a list of non-stocked parent item(s) you want to include in the replacement process.
Criteria to process Indicate whether replacement(s) can be applied to estimates that are under development, available for use, or both.
Under development Select this to apply the replacement only to estimates that are in a status of Under review.
Available for use Select this to apply the replacement only to estimates that are in a status of Available for use.
Both Select this to apply the replacement to all estimates, irrespective of whether their status is Under review or Available for use.
Route to process

This only applies if the option: Alternate routings is enabled (Bill of Materials Setup).

It enables you to indicate the specific route(s) for which the stock code must to be replaced.

The default is All routes.
Component to replace options  
Component to replace is non-stocked

Select this if the component you want to replace is a non-stocked item.

Items with a part category of Notional part (Stock Codes) cannot be selected.
Component to replace

You use these fields to enter the existing component you want to replace.

Items with a part category of Notional part (Stock Codes) cannot be selected.
Component to replace description This indicates the description defined against the component to replace.
Quantity on hand This indicates the quantity currently on hand for the component to replace.
Quantity on order This indicates the quantity currently on order for the component to replace.
Quantity allocated This indicates the quantity currently allocated for the component to replace.
WIP allocated This indicates the quantity currently allocated to Work in Progress for the component to replace.
Replacement component options  
Replacement component is non-stocked Select this if the replacement component is a non-stocked item.
Replacement component

Enter the component that will replace the existing component entered above.

This component must exist either as a stocked or a non-stocked item in SYSPRO.

[Note]

If the Component to replace uses a fixed quantity per, then it can only be replaced by a component that also uses a fixed quantity per.
Replacement component description This indicates the description defined against the replacement component.
Replacement option  
Quantity per multiplier

Enter the value by which the quantity per against the current component must be multiplied to determine the quantify per for the replacement component.

The default for this field is 1. This means that if the quantity per for the current component is 5, then the quantity per for the replacement component will also be 5.

Structure Already Exists

This screen is displayed when you select the Process Replacement option and the replacement component with the same sequence number already exists on an estimate.

This screen gives you the option to skip the replacement or to accumulate the quantities.

Field Description
Route

This indicates the route selected for the component replacement.

This only applies if the option: Alternate routings is enabled (Bill of Materials Setup).
Parent stock code This indicates the parent stock code containing the component to be replaced.
Sequence This indicates the sequence number of the component to be replaced.
Replacement stock code This indicates the code of the component that must replace the current component.
Quantity per This indicates the quantity per multiplier entered on the previous screen.
Skip Replacement Select this if you do not want to replace the current component.
Accumulate Quantity

Select this to accumulate the quantities against the replacement component and the current component.

The quantity per for the current component is multiplied by the value entered in the Quantity per field before being added to the quantity per against the replacement component.

Inserting Application Help

You would typically follow this procedure to display help for the current program in a customized pane that can be pinned to the program window.

Information includes step-by-step instructions for the various functions available within the program, including a brief overview of what the program does, what setup options are required and how to personalize the program.

  1. Open the program for which you want to insert application help into a customized pane.

    This functionality is only available for a program that has panes.

  2. Right-click any form field.

    You can also click the triangle menu icon that appears in the title area of a pane.

  3. Select Insert Application Help from the context-sensitive menu.

    The application help appears in a pane within your program. You can reposition the pane using the docking stickers or pin it to the program window.

Removing the Application Help pane

If you no longer want to display application help in a pane for your current program, you can simply remove it.

  1. Select the Close icon in the right-hand corner of the application help pane.

  2. Confirm that you want to delete the pane.
