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

Decision tables support modifications to BOM elements by controlling the integrity of the data after a modification of the BOM. If a partition item or a column becomes invalid after BOM modifications, the element in the decision table is underlined in red. These invalid elements require a user action to return the decision table to a valid state.

Renaming BOM Elements

Decision Tables automatically manage element renaming, modifying partition items as required according to the renaming.

Deleting BOM Elements or Changing Type

Partition items 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, partition items or columns related to this element may become invalid.

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