Replace Operation
Open: Bill of Materials > Utilities > Maintenance > Replace Operation
The Replace Operation screen allows users to replace one operation with another across multiple records within Cim200. This feature provides an efficient way to update Bills of Materials, Works Orders, and Configured Quotations where an operation has been superseded or changed, without having to edit each record individually.

Processing
When the user confirms their selections, Cim200 loads a screen for each chosen object type (Bill of Materials, Works Orders, and/or Quotations).
Each screen gives you the option to add multiple records using standard Sage 200 filtering options.
Once confirmed:
-
The selected operation is replaced with the new one on all chosen records.
-
Linked components are retained if the relevant Retain Components options are ticked.
-
An audit record is automatically created for each change.
Note: If BOM versioning is in use, only the active version of each BOM record is updated.
Finally, users are prompted to confirm whether they wish to re-cost the affected BOMs, Works Orders, or Quotations following the update.
