Understanding the Change Summary panel

The Change Summary panel can help you decide which changes are updated from an engineering bill of materials (EBOM) to a manufacturing bill of materials (MBOM), from a usage source BOM to a usage target BOM, from a product BOP to a plant bill of process (BOP), and from a BOM to a bill of process (BOP).

Below are examples of ways you can use the Change Summary panel for source and target BOM alignment.

When you locate a work package that contains change notices, added, removed, and replaced elements, and other differences, and then open the structure on a task page, the Change Summary panel reports mismatch indications and change types (Removed, Added, Changed) as separate tiles.

Red tiles indicate elements removed from the target BOM (MBOM). Blue tiles indicate elements not yet assigned to the MBOM. Orange tiles indicate a mismatch change. If additional tiles related to the change appear in green below the mismatch (for example, an Ancestor already assigned tie), the part was already added in the update and you do not need to take action.

Note

You can select a manufacturing install from the Focus on list to view only those tiles that apply to a specific scope of elements in the structure.

Below are some examples of how to use the Change Summary panel on the BOM Alignment task page.

Assembly in EBOM is assigned to an MBOM with different revisions

In this example, one part is to be deleted from the MBOM and one added. The results are those that were displayed in the Change Summary panel of the Changes page.

When you click Propagate in the orange change notice, the notice is displayed as green in the Changes to Be Handled panel, the partial match is removed from EBOM and MBOM, and the add and remove commands and revisions are applied.

Children of EBOM assembly are assigned to MBOM and EBOM assembly is removed

Many tiles in the Changes to Be Handled panel are displayed at the top of the list in red . The old assembly was removed but the new one not yet assigned, and the children of that assembly below it are also displayed in red. Because of the change, you must remove all children. You can remove individual parts by clicking Remove on each tile, or by clicking Remove All to remove all children of the old assembly.

Children in two EBOM assemblies are assigned to different MBOM assemblies

Occurrence effectivity changes are reflected in the unit change from 1-999 to 1-50.

Selecting a part in the Standard Wingtip assembly lets you compare effectivity by hovering your mouse over the Element Effectivity icons available in both EBOM and MBOM columns.

You can click any parts reported as Not Assigned in the Changes to Be Handled panel to review them in the EBOM and MBOM. When you locate a target assembly in the MBOM and click , verification is updated and the affected tiles are displayed in green.
