Additional component also can be added from the Production workflow canvas page.

The status of the "From stock" production to which an additional component has been moved remains unchanged, but the progress is recalculated.

Viewing the history record of components management

For each main production where components have been changed, the system maintains a history record by leaving notes about newly added or removed components. To view, follow the steps:

1. Open "Info" pop-up

2. Click on the "Components history" button

Things to note

• Addional components can be added to existing productions only: You can’t add components in workflow templates.

• Replaced components keep their previous statuses intact.

• Dragging an item from one production to another makes it inherit the new production’s order details.
