We are using AX 2012 r3 and manufacture lotions using formulas and Production Batch Orders. 

We have run into a situation a few times now and looking for a better way to handle it.  The situation is that we have a certain raw material item that for whatever reason we can no longer get. So we have to setup a new item number and need to find all of the formulas that use the old item and replace it with the new item.  Is there a better way to do this than simply using the “Where-Used” functionality and manually making those changes? 

I have researched the uses of the “Alternative Item” functionality however that requires advanced knowledge of this and setting up the formula lines in advanced with a plan group and using the alternative item. *At least that is my understanding of how it works.

Anyone have any good thoughts or ideas on this?

Thank you for your assistance.

Daniel
