ENS1005 - BOM Compare Report

Use the BOM Compare 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 will serve as the basis for comparison. The baseline BOM may have an Engineering or Manufacturing BOM state. The Item ID you specify in the Target BOM (BOM2) group box is the BOM you are comparing with the Baseline BOM (BOM1). The Target BOM has an Engineering BOM State.

Field or Control Description

Differences

This field behaves the same way for all pages in this group. It displays the differences between the two BOMs.

  • 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 will see the components listed.

    The system lists a change when any information other than Component ID, Op Seq (operation sequence), or Eff Date (effective date) has changed.

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

    The system lists a change when any information other than Component ID, Op Seq (operation sequence), or Eff Date (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: Engineering or Manufacturing.

Select an Item ID and a valid BOM Code from the available options.

If you want 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 if you want to compare all effective dates and revisions for the baseline BOM(s). If you want to compare a BOM with a specific effective date, don't select the All Dates/Revs check box, and enter the specific Eff Date (effective date).

Target BOM (BOM2):

The BOM State field defaults to Engineering; it is display-only.

Select an Item ID and a valid BOM Code for the target BOM.

Select the All Dates/Revs check box if you want to compare all effective dates and revisions for the BOM. If you want to compare a BOM with a specific effective date, enter the specific Eff Date (effective date).

Field or Control Description

Print Options

These options denote detailed information you may want to appear on the hardcopy report. You can select All attributes of the BOM or Selected attributes. Attributes include:

  • Component Documents: The names of any associated assembly documents.

    Note: The names of Component Documents will print only if PeopleSoft Engineering is installed.

  • Component Attachments: The names of any associated assembly attachments.

  • Component Text: Any text associated with the BOM components.

  • Reference Designators: The alphanumeric code you can use to determine where a component is placed in an assembly.

  • Substitutes: Substitute items for the BOM components, if any exist.

  • Component Dimensions: Actual dimensions of the component such as height, length, width, and weight.

  • Top Level Outputs: Parent assembly items only.

  • Assembly Header: Any text associated with the assembly.

  • Assembly Documents: Names of any associated documents used during assembly such as CAD drawings or product specifications.

    Note: The names of any Assembly Documents will print only if PeopleSoft Engineering is installed.

  • Assembly Attachments: Names of any attachments (files) such as CAD drawings or product specifications.
