Update an old parts list to the current format.
Converting can change the parts list contents. BOM equivalency grouping, BOM quantity overrides, and BOM structure attributes are applied on conversion. Parts list merging is discarded on conversion.
Conversion keeps overrides only for the targeted parts list. Overrides for other parts lists which use the same source are discarded.
