On clicking the View Results button, the BOM Compare Results page can be accessed. This page shows the BOM Compare Result of a BOM Compare Job. Using this page, you can also substitute idents for the combination of ident and unit.

If you define the Quantity fields with Quantity Number more than 30 for a Compare structure and run a Compare Job; then Compare Results of the such a Compare Structure does not contain those Quantity fields with Quantity Number more than 30

To understand this page better, you need to know the following:

Column Name

Description

Ident Code

Name (code) of the ident.

The Ident hyperlink redirects to the BOM Compare Ident trace window.

Commodity Code

Name (code) of the commodity

Total Substitution Quantity

Sum of all substitution quantities for the combination.

Quantity no. 1 – 30

Prompts that are user defined in the BOM Compare Structure Details page.

If the quantity number is greater than 30, it is not shown on this page.

Group

Name (code) of the commodity group

Part

Name (code) of the part

Ident

The unique identifier in the system for the ident.

Size 1

Value for Size 1

Size 2

Value for Size 2

Size 3

Value for Size 3

Size 4

Value for Size 4

Size 5

Value for Size 5

Processed by CIP

Shows if the CIP function has processed/changed this record or not.

Ident Short Description

Language based short description of the Ident

Substitution (Button)

Used to substitute idents for the combination of ident and unit.

Understanding how the displayed statistics on the BOM View Page is calculated

The displayed statistics, compares the first two Column Types in a BOM Compare Structure by identifying the total number of unique idents and then accessing the increase or decrease in quantity across these idents. The total number of unique nodes containing these idents are also compared.

Only the first two column types available in the BOM Compare Structure is compared irrespective of the number of columns types available.

To understand this in an easier way, follow the steps below:

  1. Create two unique work packages in the Work Packages tab:

    • Work Package 1 (with say, 3 List nodes)

    • Work Package 2 (with say, 4 List nodes)

  2. On the BOM Compare structures tab, create a new structure- Structure A:

    • 1st Column Type with Work Package 1

    • 2nd Column Type with Work Package 2

  3. Create a new Compare Job using this new structure (Structure A) in the BOM Structures tab.

  4. Click View Results to see the results of your compare job. Note that only the first two column types available in the BOM Compare Structure are compared.

    • Total Idents Compared indicates the number of idents that were compared.

    • Idents with Increased Quantity indicates the number of idents where the change is a positive quantity, while

    • Ident with Decreased Quantity indicates the number of ident where the change is a negative quantity.

    • Nodes Compared indicates the total number of unique nodes that were compared across the ident codes compared.

    The Change column indicates the increase or decrease in a quantity on comparison between work packages.
