Confirm the new demand
Open the intended imported iteration and inspect the changed quantity, project quantity and part identity. Confirm whether the change affects the same part or introduces a different component.

See changed demand alongside what has already been ordered.
An engineering change arrives after the first order. Bring the revised requirement and the purchasing context into the same review before asking a supplier for more material.
The handover to get right
The revised total is not necessarily the quantity to order. Some demand may already be covered, and a change can affect both open purchasing work and release decisions. The team needs the current BOM iteration and the recorded purchasing history to understand the next action.
A practical review sequence
Read it beside the purchasing context
Keep the purchasing panel visible while inspecting BOM columns. Compare total required, ordered and remaining quantities, and check the recorded orders rather than treating the revised total as a new order quantity.
Check the records behind the numbers
Use the project Dossier to find relevant commercial records. Review the supplier commitments and release state before deciding whether a new RFQ, an additional order or a supplier discussion is appropriate.
Decide and record the next step
Prepare the applicable purchasing document after review. A BOM change does not automatically amend a supplier commitment; the buyer remains responsible for checking and recording the agreed action.
Questions from the team
Will a BOM update change an order already sent to a supplier?
No automatic supplier amendment is implied. Review existing commitments and coordinate any required change through the purchasing process.
Why not order the whole revised quantity?
Existing orders may already cover some demand. Compare the current requirement with the recorded purchasing context to avoid treating the whole revised total as additional demand.
What should we review when demand decreases?
Check current release and order records, then discuss the applicable supplier commitment. A smaller engineering requirement does not itself cancel an order or guarantee that a supplier can reduce it.
