Match nonequivalent lines using dynamic equivalence criteria

In some cases, you may want to locate matching lines in an engineering bill of materials (EBOM) and manufacturing bill of materials (MBOM) that have different properties and therefore are not reported as equivalent when you run an advanced accountability check. For example, the lines may have different item ID in context values, but you want to find them to ensure that they have the same material quantity, and later address the difference in their ID in context values.

To enable dynamic equivalence when running an accountability check:

In the Advanced Accountability Check dialog box, on the Equivalence tab, select the Dynamic Equivalence check box.

Note

• Selecting the Dynamic Equivalence check box automatically selects the Multiple Match
  checkbox in the Display Options group on the Reporting tab of the Advanced Accountability Check dialog box. When Dynamic Equivalence is deselected, check boxes in the Display Options group return to their previous selections.

• Your administrator must configure the MEAccountabilityCheckDynamicIDICProperties preference to list those line properties you want to use as dynamic equivalence criteria when you search for equivalent lines between EBOM and MBOM. If your administrator defines no values for this preference, item ID is the default attribute for comparison.
