Production BOM unable to link to item - Item Variant already in use

Spinky

Hi all,

We are trying to figure out how to retrospectively link an item with a Production BOM. Our client is wanting to use the Where-Used function and for that all Items created by Production BOMs need to be linked to the Production BOM. However, when we try to link the two we get the error:
"The Production BOM cannot be changed. An item variant is already in use"
I have checked and this item has three variants, one of which is linked to the Production BOM. I can also see that I can't remove the Production BOM from the variant. Is there a way around this? I was wondering if creating a new version of a Production BOM would free it up to be linked to the Item?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

So, after further discussions internally we discovered that this is actually custom code for this client. All fixed now.
