Symptom
Production Bill of Material (PBoM)/Variant update is not supported in current release.
When a new version of a Product Design is released, the current lean handover to the PBoM can neither create a new Variant for an existing PBoM, nor update an existing Variant. System will always create an individual NEW Variant of a NEW PBoM for each handover.

- In the pop-up window, enter a new value in the BoM ID field to create a new Production Bill Of Material.
- Select the Ok button.
- Select the Where Used tab.
