# Replace an item on a purchase order line - Impact workspace

Use **Replace** to change the affected item to an approved replacement item. Where applicable, select the item associated with the **To version**.

## Steps

1. Go to **Product information management > Engineering change management > Engineering change orders**.
2. Open a released ECO you want to review.
3. On the Action Pane, in the **Business impact** group, select **Open impact workspace**.

The workspace opens for the selected ECO.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> If the ECO has no lines yet, the button is unavailable. Add at least one affected product first.
4. In the **Purchase orders** section, locate the affected purchase order line.
5. Select **Replace**.

The **Replace** pane opens on the right.
6. Review the purchase order, current item number, and vendor account.
7. In the **Item number to replace** field, select the replacement item.
8. Select **Replace** to apply the change.

To close the pane without replacing the item, select **Cancel**.

After the replacement is complete:

- The purchase order line references the replacement item.
- The **Action status** changes to **Replaced item**.
- An entry is added to the **Change log**. For more information, see [Track actions in the change log](/manufacturing/docs/track-actions-in-the-change-log-impact-workspace).
