Link Components
When you increase or decrease the Quantity per of a component in a production BOM or production component, it can impact the usage of other components. This is done to maintain the desirable proportion and ensure the correct end product.
You can link components (children) to a specific component (parent). When you manually alter the Quantity per of the parent component, the children components will automatically be updated by the same ratio. Therefore, this feature ensures that any changes made to the parent's Quantity per field proportionally affect the related children components, maintaining the desired ratio and preserving the overall recipe's consistency.
You can link components through the Production BOM or the Prod. Order Component page.
