Updating Work Orders via MFG Web Service

Has anybody done much integration work around work orders (MFG object)?  We have a requirement to remove and add materials to a work order after it has been created.  We have been successful in doing this by marking the materials that are no longer needed as excluded, which shows them as cancelled on the work order, and then by adding new materials as if they are unexpected materials.  The issue is, as soon as we do the automatic release, it marks all of the original materials from the BOM as active/included again, and it removes the ones that were manually added.  Has anybody done anything similar to this?  I was thinking of using the MFG object as a web services, and seeing if there is an option to do the line logic (exclude or add unexpected materials) as a web service call.

    We use the MFG and MTK Objects for a web app that connects to X3 via SOAP.  Rather than substituting components on the work order, we do it via production tracking.  We had to do a few minor customizations, but have been using for about 3 years now. That's not quite what you are after, but maybe it is an option.
