Item structure right click menu

With the Right-click menu you can edit, delete, duplicate or insert an item, BOM or operation sequence in the Item structure. The available functions of the menu depend on the entry type (BOM or routing). The following two tables provide a detailed list of the entries found in the first two tabs of the right-click menu.

Expand all

BOM and routing entries

All BOM positions are expanded down to the 5th level. This limit can be changed in Configuration wizard.

Note:

This function is very intensive computationally, and it can take a lot of time to manage for huge amounts of data. Instead of expanding very large structures, where you can easily lose the overview, it is recommended to use the function "structure search".
