Any changes in the item breakdown is updated in the corresponding item in alternative items. When an item breakdown relation is deleted then the corresponding alternative items is also deleted. When the parent item is not present on the requirement line, the list of all the alternative items for all item breakdowns where the component is present, is displayed.
