	<GeneralSection><Paragraph>You can use the <Link href="/baanerp/ti/edm/tiedm3120m000" role="session">MBC Action (tiedm3120m000)</Link> session to define actions to replace, add, or delete items in an EBOM. If desired, you can also use an MBC action to replace, add, or delete the <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#100110" role="glossary">reference designators</Link> in the EBOM. The <Link href="/baanerp/ti/edm/tiedm3120m000#tiedm320.mcrd" role="fieldhelp">MBC Action at Ref.
