Parts list comparison with several parts lists
SAP can already compare two parts lists for production, including all components and individual parts, in the standard system. The disadvantage: it is difficult for users and departments to not possible to compare more than two parts lists with each other. This is particularly useful for many production variants, for example if certain components have to be replaced within these parts lists. The CLC xinteg SAP experts use a customization to illustrate this. with flexibly selectable comparison criteria possible.
The classic SAP BOMs list all the items required to manufacture a product. They are categorized according to the name of the individual part, quantity and associated unit of measure. The so-called BOM (bill of materials) is one of the most important tools in the SAP environment for obtaining all relevant information for material provision. The BOM therefore not only has an influence on production, but also on material planning, the ordering process and also for maintenance and servicing.
CLC project provides Multi BOM Comparison as a basis for comparison
As a maximum of two parts lists can be compared with each other in the SAP standard, but this is often not sufficient in practice, CLC xinteg developed a solution in a customer project. Multi BOM Comparison a parts list comparison can be carried out with several parts lists - and across the entire depth of content. This means that the parts list can be compared not only with a general reference parts list, but also according to flexibly selected comparison criteria.
Multi BOM Comparison in practice
Multi BOM Comparison has now become firmly established in the practice workflow, particularly in order to save valuable time and reduce the susceptibility to errors during manual checks to a minimum - both as a stand-alone application and integrated into SAP, it offers several advantages:
Enabling the comparison of more than just two parts lists
Comparison of all parts lists with each other or against a reference parts list
Clear and automatic color display of similarities and / or differences.
With the help of the comparison, it is now possible to compare BOMs for different usages, BOMs with different change statuses and different alternatives of a multiple BOM. to compare with each other and Disagreements within a very short time to uncover.
