Print Summarized Bills of Material Comparison Report

Use this screen to print a comparison of summarized quantities for components between two assemblies' exploded manufacturing bills of material (MBOM) or engineering bills of material (EBOM), as selected.

Comparisons can be done between two MBOMs, or two EBOMs, or between an MBOM and EBOM (or vice versa), for two assemblies. You have the option of selecting whether the comparisons will print a summary of the assemblies' first-level components, the entire bill of material through all the levels, or a bills of material (BOM) through a specified number of levels. In addition, you also have the option of printing all exploded components, or only those components that have variances between the two assemblies.

If you are comparing BOMs between two assemblies, enter two sets of assembly part information (referred to as assembly A and assembly B). Costpoint will then explode each assembly's MBOM or EBOM, as selected, to the specified level. The total quantity for each unique part/revision, which is summarized for all levels, will be printed. The summarized BOM process is executed separately for assembly A and B, and the results are displayed next to each other in separate columns on the report.
