# Update the production BOM - Impact workspace

Use **Update BOM** to replace the production BOM with the BOM 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 **Production orders** section, locate the affected production order.
5. Select **Update BOM**.

The **Update BOM** pane opens on the right.
6. Review the production order and item number.
7. In the **BOM ID** list, select the BOM associated with the **To version**.
8. Review the component comparison.

The comparison identifies components that were added, removed, or changed.
9. Review the component availability information and any shortage warnings.
10. Select **Replace** to update the production BOM.

To close the pane without updating the BOM, select **Cancel**.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> - Updating the production BOM replaces its existing lines. Review the component comparison before you confirm the update.
> - A component shortage warning doesn’t necessarily prevent the update. Review material availability before releasing the order.

After the update is complete:

- The production BOM lines are recreated from the selected BOM.
- The **Action status** changes to **BOM updated**.
- 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).

The workspace updates the production order with the selected engineering BOM before the order is released to production.
