What Happens to the Product Data?

Acelab Default Fields

When replacing a product, data from Acelab default fields (that have not been edited) will be updated to match the product being added.

Important: If an Acelab default field is edited (for example, if you change the product masterformat section), the change will not be affected. The new product will keep the data you edited.

Custom Fields

Data from custom fields will not be changed. So, the new product will retain the data added to the previous product.

Tip: You may add placeholders to your Schedule to create a checklist of products you will need. Then, use the Replace Product function to add products without losing any data you had added to the placeholders' fields.
