Engineering Item and Item Consistency (tiedm1521m000)

Use this session to display any differences between the revision and the production item to which the revision has been copied. These differences have been caused by changes to either the E-item or the item.

If you copy an E-item revision to an item, you can see if the two items are the same.

Click the Find Record button to enter the revision and item. If the target item is customized, you must also enter the project code in the first segment. LN then displays the comparative data and shows any differences by placing an asterisk (*) at the item data. The asterisk is also displayed if the data have not yet been copied.

Note
  • You can also compare EBOMs and production BOMs using the EBOM and PBOM Consistency (tiedm1520m000) session.
  • You can print the comparison between E-items and items using the Print Engineering Item and Item Consistency (tiedm1471m000) session.
