The Component Number Change frame allows you to change an existing component number to a new component number and still keep all of the component’s history as part of the new number.
Changing a Number
To change an existing number to a new number, enter the existing component number in the Component Number field in the Existing Component Information section. The Description field and the Status field will automatically populate.
In the New Component Information section, type in the new component number. This field has a limit of ten characters. Once you have entered the new number, click the SAVE button at the top of the frame.
Upon saving, you will be redirected to the Component Main frame. You can make any necessary edits to the new component number here.
