Field or Control |
Description |
---|---|
Differences |
Displays the differences between the two BOMs. Values include:
Note: The system lists a change when any information other than the component, operation sequence, or effective date has changed. |
Use the Compare BOMs - BOM Selections page (EG_BOM_COMPARE1E) to view the comparison of two manufacturing BOMs.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Compare BOMs - BOM Selections inquiry page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

Baseline BOM (BOM1)
Field or Control |
Description |
---|---|
Item ID |
Select an item for the baseline BOM. |
|
Click the Item Search button to access the Item Search Criteria page and select a different item. |
BOM Code |
Select a BOM code for the baseline BOM. You can select any valid BOM code, but regardless of the depth that you select, 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 the depth that you select, 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. |
Use the Compare BOMs - Component Detail: Component Details page (EG_BOM_COMPARE2) to view BOM component differences.
Navigation:
This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Compare BOMs - Component Detail - Component Details page: Attributes tab. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

The header data appears by default from the Compare BOMs - 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. |
Sub Supply |
If the component is supplied by a subcontractor, this field is selected. |
Use the Compare BOMs - Component Detail: Substitutes page (EG_BOM_COMPARE_SUB) to view component substitute differences for two selected BOMs.
Navigation:
Substitute Items Tab
The system displays the substitutes' differences, including substitute item ID, description, and the original component ID.
Attributes Tab
The system displays the substitutes' differences, including substitute item ID, operation sequence, effective date, standard unit of measure, and conversion rate.
Use the Compare BOMs - Assy Header: Outputs page (EG_BOM_COMPARE10) to view the output differences between two selected BOMs.
Navigation:
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, quantity per, source code, serial control resource allocation, and cost allocation percentages.
