Running an accountability check between a collaborative design and an MBOM

You can compare collaborative designs to BOM view revision-based MBOM structures using the accountability check. The accountability check:

Finds BOM lines that are equivalent to design elements.
Qualifies equivalent lines in the two structures as partial matches by comparing properties.
Displays the results in the 4GD Content Explorer, in the MBOM structure view, and in the Accountability Check Results view.
Displays the results of the check in a report.
Shows details about why a set of lines is marked as a partial match.
Propagates differences from the design structure to the manufacturing structure.

You can only run the accountability check in one direction—from the design structure to the manufacturing BOM.
