# Create versions of package BOMs

Create new versions of package BOMs when, for example, a component is replaced by a cheaper or better-quality item, or when a customer requires a special version of a product.

## Steps

1. In the search box, enter **Package BOMs**, and then choose the related link.
2. Select the package BOM that will have a new version.
3. On the **Versions** FastTab, choose **New Version** to open an empty package BOM version card.

The newly created version is automatically assigned the status **New**.

The time validity of the version is specified by the **Starting Date** field.
4. If desired, copy the data from a previous version to the new version.
5. Fill in the fields of the new package BOM version.
6. When you are done, change the **Status** field to **Certified**.
