Procedure
Follow this procedure to change a prime part:

Consist Of
tab, select the row that contains the part, right-click, and then click
Next Level until the required serial part is displayed in the table.
- Select the row, right-click, and then click Change Prime Part. The
Change Prime Part dialog box opens.
