Delete BOM Links by Job State
Previous Topic  Next Topic 

The Delete BOM Links by Job State enables you to delete all BOM Links by one or more job states.  The command is executed from the main menu using Database | Delete BOM Links by Job State.  To execute this command the users group must have access to “Clear Selected Tables” in the User Groups settings.


This command can be used to delete BOM Links by job state from DMS so that new BOM Links can be imported via a SQL script or a text file.  Note that once a BOM Link is deleted, it cannot be recovered.  Also not that jobs that make up a BOM Link are NOT deleted; just the BOM Links (i.e. the relationship between jobs) is deleted.


The example below shows the Delete BOM Links by Job State screen:



To execute the command:


  1. Select File | Delete BOM Links by Job State or click on the delete icon.
