  2. From the top right corner, click on Actions > Suggested Alternates by ML

  3. CalcuQuote will prompt the suggestions per line. Review the options and select the MPNs you want to add to the BOM.

  4. Once you select them, click on the "Add" button in the bottom right corner.

  5. From the bottom left corner, use the "Previous" and "Next" buttons to navigate through the different lines with suggestions.

  6. Once you finish adding the Alternate MPNs, click on "Close".
