BOM Selections - Component Details Page

BOM Selections - Component Details: Substitutes Page

EG_BOM_COMPARE_SUB

Compare substitute item differences for EBOM comparison.

BOM Selections - Assembly Header: Differences

EG_BOM_COMPARE1D

Compare the assembly differences of two BOMs, specifically BOM types, BOM quantity, and text.

BOM Selections - Assembly Header: Attachments

EG_BOM_COMPARE1C

Compare the assembly attachment differences of two BOMs.

BOM Selections - Assembly Header: Documents

EG_BOM_COMPARE1B

Compare the document differences of two BOMs.

BOM Selections - Assembly Header: Outputs Page

EG_BOM_COMPARE10

Compare the output differences of two BOMs.

EBOM Compare Report

EN_BOM_COMP_REPORT

Select the engineering BOMs, or the manufacturing and engineering BOMs that you want to compare.

EBOM Compare Report - Print Options

EN_BOM_COM_REPORT2

Select details that you want to appear in the Engineering BOM Compare report (ENS1005).

Field or Control

Description

Differences

Displays the differences between the two BOMs. Values are:

  • Added: The component ID has been added to the compare BOM (BOM2).

  • Deleted: The component has been deleted from the compare BOM (BOM2).

    The system determines whether a component has been deleted, by comparing the component IDs, operation sequences, and effectivity dates; this is what makes a component unique within a BOM.

  • Chg BOM1: If you have made a component change, you see the components listed.

    The system lists a change when any information other than component ID, operation sequence, or effective date has changed.

  • Chg BOM2: If you have made a component change, you see the components listed.

    The system lists a change when any information other than component ID, operation sequence, or effective date has changed.

Use the Compare EBOMs - BOM Selections page (EG_BOM_COMPARE1E) to compare a baseline BOM to an engineering BOM within the same business unit.

You can compare any two EBOMs or compare an EBOM to an MBOM.

Compare EBOMs - BOM Selections page

Baseline BOM (BOM1)

Field or Control

Description

Item ID

Select an item for the baseline BOM.

BOM Code

Select a BOM code for the baseline BOM. You can select any valid BOM code, but regardless of what depth you enter, the system calculates all lower levels based on the primary BOM code.

Eff Date

Enter the effective date for the baseline BOM if you do not want to use all dates and revisions.

All Dates/Revs

Select to compare all effective dates and revisions for the baseline BOM.

Target BOM (BOM2)

Field or Control

Description

Item ID

Select an item for the baseline BOM.

BOM Code

Select a BOM code for the baseline BOM. You can select any valid BOM code, but regardless of what depth you enter, the system calculates all lower levels based on the primary BOM code.

Eff Date

Enter the effective date for the baseline BOM if you do not want to use all dates and revisions.

All Dates/Revs

Select to compare all effective dates and revisions for the baseline BOM.

Compare BOMs

Click this button to compare the selected BOMs.

Use the BOM Selections - Component Details page (EG_BOM_COMPARE2) to compare component ID BOM differences, including standard unit of measure and source code.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the BOM Selections - Component Details: Component Details page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

BOM Selections - Component Details: Component Details page

The header data consists of default values from the Compare EBOMs - BOM Selections inquiry page.

Rtg/BOM/PID tab

This page displays routing, BOM, and production ID differences between the selected BOMs.

Field or Control

Description

Subs Exist

If substitutes exist for a component, this field is selected. If no substitutes exist, this field is unavailable for selection.

Sub Supply

Selected if the component is supplied by a subcontractor. If the component is not a subcontracted item, the field is unavailable for selection.

Use the BOM Selections - Component Details: Substitutes page (EG_BOM_COMPARE_SUB) to compare substitute item differences for EBOM comparison.

Navigation:

Engineering > BOMs and Revisions > Review EBOM Information > Compare EBOMs > BOM Selections > Component Details > Substitutes

The header data consists of default values from the Compare EBOMs - BOM Selections inquiry page.

Substitute Items tab

The system displays the substitute differences, including the substitute item ID, description, and the original component ID.

Attributes tab

The system displays the substitute differences, including the substitute item ID, operation sequence, effective date, priority, standard unit of measure, and conversion rate.

Use the BOM Selections - Assembly Header: Outputs page (EG_BOM_COMPARE10) to compare the output differences of two BOMs.

Navigation:

Engineering > BOMs and Revisions > Review EBOM Information > Compare EBOMs > BOM Selections > Assy Header > Outputs

The header data consists of default values from the Compare EBOMs - BOM Selections inquiry page.

Dates tab

This page displays output date differences, including information such as output type, output item, operation sequence, and effectivity dates.

Attributes tab

This page displays attribute differences, including information such as output type, output item, standard unit of measure, quantity per, source code, serial control, and resource allocation and cost allocation percentages.
