Comparing a Product Structure with Its Associated EBOM

This task shows you how to compare a product structure with its associated Engineering Bill of Materials (EBOM).

  1. Explore and expand a product.
  2. Select the root object and click Compare EBOM .
    Important: If there is no EBOM associated to any structure, an error message is displayed with the following text: "No EBOM found. Comparison is not possible".
    The product structure and its associated EBOM are displayed side by side.

    Important: If the EBOM has not been generated yet, a warning appears notifying you as such. To create an EBOM for a selected product, in the menu, select Tools > Synchronize with Enterprise.

  3. Compare the status by examining the different color shadings, the meanings of which are indicated in the B.I. Essentials dialog box.
  4. In either view, click an object in the tree or in the 3D to see a comparison of its attributes.
    An immersive Attributes Comparison dialog box appears.

The Compare Options dialog box enables you to do the following:

  • Same viewpoint: if selected, the viewpoints are synchronized.
  • Export comparison: if selected, a report is generated in .csv format (with field separator ";").
