Modify Assemblies - Change Component

SUGGESTED

We have switched a component used in a variety of Assemblies.  We've been able to identify that the original component is used in over 250 Assemblies. 

There should be a way to EXPORT all those Assemblies that contain AAA123 - change that to BBB456 and then IMPORT those Assemblies back into Sage.

So the question is HOW?  What is the EXPORT query?

    Hi JP, I logged in and saw that you had just posted this. This won't be a really detailed answer but hopefully it will get you pointed in the right direction.

    I don't know of a way to filter an export based on component ID, so here is what I would do. First, export your inventory filtered by Item Class so you only get assemblies. Then run a Component Use List report and filter it to Component ID = AAA123. Send that report to Excel. Open the exported CSV file containing your assembly items. Add a column (I would insert it next it Item ID) and use VLOOKUP to check each item ID against the Assembly ID column in the Component Use List that you sent to Excel. Then filter the CSV files to show you all the rows that returned #N/A. Delete those rows and you're left with just the assemblies you want to update. Do a find & replace on your component ID, update the revision number and effective date for each assembly, delete the VLOOKUP column and you should be in business.
