Rules for cloning, moving, and resequencing objects in the BOM or the

    BOP

General rules exist for cloning, moving, and resequencing objects in the bill of materials (BOM) panels and tabs and in the bill of process (BOP) panels on task pages.

The paste options available during cloning, moving, or resequencing differ depending on which object you clone, and the location into which you are cloning the object.

The

Copy

and

Paste

commands are available, respectively, from the BOM and BOP toolbars. In
