Where Used
Find every BOM that uses a component.
Early access. Manufacturing can be installed from the App Store, but it is still being proven in real use, so this screen may change.
Overview
Where Used answers “if I change or lose this part, what is affected?”. Choose a component and it lists the bills of materials that use it, so you can see the finished items that depend on it before you change a price, substitute it or discontinue it.
When to use where used
- A supplier discontinues a part.
- You change a component and want to know the impact.
Step by step
In the Manufacturing module open Engineering in the green navigation bar, then choose Where Used under Analysis.
