Understand BOM structural changes when switching between Effective date and As Saved filters
The following table describes how the BOM structure is impacted when you perform an operation on a BOM under the Effective date filter and then switch to the As Saved filter.
| Operation | Operation performed under Effective date filter | BOM structure under As Saved filter |
|---|---|---|
| Create item | Create a child item and its children is created under a parent item in Development. | If the parent item is in Development then the newly created child item and its children are pulled into the BOM structure. |
| Create item | You cannot create an item under a Released parent item. | No changes to the BOM structure for a Released parent. |
| Copy/Paste | Copy/Paste a child item under a parent in Development, the BOM structure maintains the original relationship and also has the new relationship with a copied instance of the child item under the parent. | The BOM structure maintains the original relationship and also has the new relationship with a copied instance of the child item under the parent. |
| Copy/Paste | You can copy any item without any restrictions however the paste operation is disallowed when the direct parent is Released. | No changes to the BOM structure. |
| New version | New versions of child items can be created if the direct parent is in Development. | The new version of the item will be a part of the BOM structure. |
| New version | You cannot create a new version of a child item under the Effective date filter when the direct parent is Released. | No changes to the BOM structure. |
