Rule Builder > Managing Decision Trees > Integration with Rule Builder Services > Modifying BOM Elements

Decision trees support modifications to BOM elements by controlling the integrity of the data after a modification of the BOM. If a decision node or test link becomes invalid after BOM modifications, the element in the decision tree is underlined in red. These invalid elements require a user action to return the decision tree to a valid state.

Renaming BOM Elements

Decision trees automatically manage element renaming, modifying test links as required according to the renaming.

Deleting BOM Elements or Changing Type

Test links are typed according to a member type, a parameter type of a method, or similar typing. So if an element of the BOM is deleted or its type is changed, test links related to this element may become invalid.

If a test link becomes invalid, a new predicate, or the same but modified predicate, must be chosen to revalidate it. In this case an attempt is made to keep the item or convert on the fly the old values of the items in the test link. When a test link becomes invalid, a new value must be entered to revalidate it.
