These options denote detailed information that you may want to appear on the report. You can select all or selected attributes to print, such as:

  • Header Documents: Any text associated with the routing header information.

  • Header Attachments: Any attachments (files) associated with the routing header information.

  • Operation Resources: Resources that are being used at the operation step.

  • Operation Time: The times necessary to complete this operation.

    This may include tasks and run rates such as fixed run, post production, run, and setup times.

  • Conversion Code: Cost codes that determine the labor, machine, outside processing, and overhead cost of the operation.

  • Operation Documents: Lists the names of any documents associated with the operation, such as CAD drawings or product specifications.

  • Operation Attachments: Lists the names of routing operation attachments.

You use this report to compare baseline and target routing information.

Baseline Routing (RTG1):

Select a routing state. Values are: Engineering or Manufacturing.

Select an item ID range and a valid routing code.

Target Routing (RTG2):

Engineering appears by default as the routing state; it is a display-only field.

Select an item ID and a valid routing code.

To compare one routing code to another (for example, the primary routing to one of the item's alternates), enter the primary routing code (1) as the from and to routing for the Baseline Routing (RTG1). Then enter as the Target Routing (RTG2) the alternate routing code to which you want to compare the primary.

To see if any of an item's routings are comparable to another item's routing, enter the baseline routing codes (1 to 99 to compare the primary and all alternates) and the target's routing code to which all routings will be compared.

Print Production Details

Select this check box if you want to print production information for all dates or a range of dates. The report includes all production whose start date falls within the criteria selected.

Status Selection

You can include production by selecting any of these statuses:

  • Entered

  • Firmed

  • Released

  • In Process

  • Pend Complete (pending complete)

  • Complete

  • Clsd Labor (closed to labor)

  • Clsd Acctg (closed to accounting)

  • Canceled

Use the Compare BOM Report to compare any two engineering BOMs or a manufacturing BOM and an engineering BOM within the same business unit. Using this report, you can compare one or more baseline BOMs to one target BOM. In the Baseline BOM (BOM1) group box, specify the item ID BOM that serves as the basis for comparison. The baseline BOM may have an engineering or manufacturing BOM state. The item ID that you specify in the Target BOM (BOM2) group box is the BOM that you are comparing with the baseline BOM (BOM1). The target BOM has an engineering BOM state.

Description

Differences

This field behaves the same way for all pages in this group. It 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.

The report includes component and assembly differences between the two BOMs so that you can use it to track changes.

Baseline BOM (BOM1):

Select the BOM state. Values are: Engineering or Manufacturing.

Select an item ID and a valid BOM code from the available options.

To use the BOM with a code of 1, select 1 in both fields. You can also compare all the existing BOMs for the item to the target routing by selecting the appropriate BOM codes.

Select the All Dates/Revs check box to compare all effective dates and revisions for the baseline BOMs. To compare a BOM with a specific effective date, deselect the All Dates/Revs check box, and enter the specific effective date.

Target BOM (BOM2):

Engineering appears by default as the BOM state; it is display-only.

Select an item ID and a valid BOM code for the target BOM.

Select the All Dates/Revs check box to compare all effective dates and revisions for the BOM. To compare a BOM with a specific effective date, enter the specific effective date.

Description

Cost as Batch

Select this check box if the BOM has multiple outputs.

Print Lower Level Outputs

Select this check box if you want the hard copy report to include the costs of multiple output items for components that are end items.

You can select all or a range of components, substitutes, or outputs, if any exist for the component. If you select Components, the system searches to see if the items are specified as a component on a BOM. If you select Substitutes, the system searches to see if the item is a substitute item on a BOM. If you select All, the system checks to see if the item is a component or a substitute.

Select the All Dates/Revs check box to search all effective dates and revisions for the BOM. To search for components or substitutes effective on a specific date, enter an effective date.

Set Levels Up to 1, to view only the component's parent assembly. The larger the number, the higher the level. For example, level 3 is three levels higher in the bill of material structure than the component.
