Run an accountability check on PMI objects

You can run an accountability check to validate completeness (whether all PMI objects are part of an inspection plan) and to discern changes to them.

• If a part is revised and corresponding PMI objects change, the accountability check highlights all changes (additions, modifications, deletion) by comparing two revisions of the part (MBOM-MBOM compare). The MBOM must be configured differently for the two revisions (for example, working and released).

• If a part is modified without revising it, the accountability check detects all modifications for the PMI objects that are assigned to operations in the plan (using MBOM-BOP compare).

Note

Changes done in operation-level properties are not reported by the accountability check.

Procedure

1. Run an advanced accountability check.

2. Select the AccountabilitySkipPMINotforInsp as the source filtering rule.

3. When you reach the step where you are choosing comparison properties in the Partial Match tab, add the desired properties.

Note If you want to prevent a PMI object from being included in the accountability check and also from being exported to MES, use the Not For Inspection property to exclude it from consideration.
