Compare DOP Order and BOM

Explanation

Use this activity to view the similarities or differences between a DOP order with components and a BOM structure. The different structures are displayed simultaneously in a split window. You compare a level at the time. The comparison is made concerning part number and quantity per assembly.

Prerequisites

This activity requires that a DOP order and a BOM structure are created.

System Effects

As a result of this activity, the system enables you to view similarities and differences between a DOP order with components and a BOM structure.

Procedure

1. In the Comparator group box, select the DOP structure to be compared in the DOP ID list box.
2. In the Comparatee group box, select the BOM to be compared in the Part No list box.
3. Click All to view all components in both structures. You must compare the structures to see the differences.
4. Click Equal to see all the components that are identical in both structures. To qualify as identical, the parts must have the same part number and have the same quantities per assembly in the structures.
5. Click Difference to see all the components that differ between the structures, i.e., the components that exist in one structure but not in the other. Some of the components that are shown as different may be the same part but have different quantities per assembly.
6. Click Tree to see the results from the all, equal, or difference functions in a tree structure.
