Changing Multiple Bill of Materials items at once / Sage100 ERP

I have about 200 items from which I need to remove one component item and replace it with another.

Is there a way in which I can do this without having to go into BOM Maintenance for each of the 200 items and doing it manually?

I know I can add the additional material via Visual Integrator, but how can I remove the existing one? Or, is there an easier way?

I am on Sage100 ERP 2014 Advanced (V. 5.10.3.0)

Thank you in advance.

    Thank you for the prompt reply, Big Louie.

    I do not have a "Remove, Delete, Replace Entry" item in BOM/Change Control. I do have one called "Replace and Delete Component Entry" but it seems to be an all-or-nothing. I need to change 200 items out of about 500 which use the material, not every item which uses the material.

    Sorry I didn't make this clear on the original post.

    PWPeterson,

    The Replace and Delete Component Entry is all or nothing.  You could export the BM_BillDetails file to Excel and then make the changes in that file and then reimport back into Sage 100 that way.

    However, it may take as much time as manually changing these by hand.

    Is there any sort of logic to identify which bills need the change and which ones do not?

    Yes, they are all items beginning with HE12 through HE14.

    When I reimport back to Sage, will the line be overwritten, or will the new item be added additionally?

    Thank you for your reply.
