Why:
It is possible that an associated part can be superseded. Therefore GDS offers the facility to update the associated part to reflect the supersession (replacement). An associated part that has been superseded will show the Supersession icon.
Where:
From the Part View open the part (Part Maintenance) to be updated at the Associated Parts tab.
How to Update Supersession Details for Associated Parts:
If the Associated Parts tab shows the Supersession icon, this indicates that the associated part has been superseded. To apply the new (superseding) part, right click and select open, or double click to open the associated part, then right click and select Update Supersession.
When the Supersession Details window opens, right click the group level and select Apply, to change the associated part from the superseded part to the superseding part.
