Understanding the Product Change Wizard

The Product Change Wizard lives in the Complete window and is a tool that can add, remove, or replace a product in more than one heading. This article only focuses on the Replace function of the Product Change Wizard.

The purpose of using the Product Change Wizard rather than a change order is to make product changes across many openings in a single process instead of making the same change on each heading individually.

We recommend using the Product Change Wizard for hardware modifications if the project has any change orders or sourced products, even if they are unrelated to the modification. If the product is sourced or on a change order, you must use the Product Change Wizard in a new Change Order rather than working in the base project.

Before Starting the Product Change Wizard

To complete the Product Change Wizard, you must know the:

• Original product
  • Which product are you replacing?
• New product
  • What product are you replacing the original with?
• Scope of the change
  • Which headings are affected by this change?
