BOM Change - Delete an item(s) and insert new line items

Question

Hi,
We need to mass update BOMs like for some of the existing BOM's we need to delete some line items and insert new line items. We want to use the BOMMAT04 IDOC in LSMW but I'd like to know couple of things before I go ahead with that approach
For instance, I've a finished good material 12345678 and it has three components
                      a) Item 0010 Material 30101010 of quantity 10
                      b) Item 0020 Material 30101011 of quantity 11
                      C) Item 0030 Material 30101012 of quantity 12
Now, I'd like delete Item 0010 and add a new item 0040 Material 30101013 of quantity 13. 
In the segment E1STKOM, there is LOEKZ (Deletion Flag) but I dont want to flag for deletion but instead delete the whole line item and add a new line item.
Is there any way to achieve this using BOMMAT04 IDOC? If not, can you please suggest me a better way to do it
Any help is greatly appreciated
Thanks,
Srinivas

Dear Srinivas,
1.IF you want to change for an individual BOM,use CS02,select the item which you want to delete,select the entire and click on
delete button and then add new line items and save.
2.For Mass changes of BOM you can use CS20.
3.Check these functional module's also if you want to change using a report,
CS_BI_BOM_CHANGE_BATCH_INPUT   Change bill of material via batch input    
CSEP_MAT_BOM_SELECT_CHANGE     API Bills of Material: Select BOM(s)    
CS_CL_P_BOM_MASS_CHANGE     
CS_CL_S_BOM_CHANGE_COMPLETE 
Check and revert back,.
