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

Use the **Replace** action to replace the affected item on a sales order line. You can select the item associated with the **To** version or another approved replacement item.

## 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.

1. In the **Sales orders** section, select the affected sales order line.
2. Select **Replace**.

The **Replace** pane opens on the right.
3. Review the sales order, item number, and customer information.
4. In the **Item number to replace** field, select the replacement item.

Where applicable, the field is populated with the item associated with the **To** version.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> You can't replace the item if the replacement item isn't released to the current legal entity. Release the item to the legal entity, then try again.
5. Select **Replace** to apply the change.

To close the pane without applying the change, select **Cancel**.

After the replacement is complete:

- The sales order line references the selected replacement item.
- The ordered quantity remains unchanged.
- 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).
- Once the item is replaced, the original line no longer appears on the sales order list page.
