Use this function to print the Product Structure Difference report. The structure of a part revision is the composition of that part revision nested in terms of its sub-part revisions. This report derives the difference in structure between part revisions specified in the report conditions. The report is available in Landscape format
None.
Product Structure Difference Report Fields:
Field Group Description A: Part Number Heading Part number identifier for part revision A. A: Revision Heading Part revision identifier for part revision A. A: Part Name Heading Part name for part revision A. A: Released Heading If available, date at which the part revision was released. A: Obsolete Heading If available, date from which the part revision was obsolete. A: Active Heading If available, date from which the part revision was active. B: Part Number Heading Part number identifier for part revision B. B: Revision Heading Part revision identifier for part revision B. B: Part Name Heading Part name for part revision B. B: Released Heading If available, date at which the part revision was released. B: Obsolete Heading If available, date from which the part revision was obsolete. B: Active Heading If available, date from which the part revision was active. Level Detail 1 Structure level at which mismatch was found. Part Detail 1 Indicates the part revision (A or B) where the mismatch is located. Difference Cat. Detail 1 Type of mismatch either Quantity, Revision, Addition, or Subtraction. Part Number Detail 1 Part number identifier for sub-part revision which causes mismatch. Part Revision Detail 1 Part revision identifier for sub part revision that caused the mismatch. Name Detail 1 Part name for sub-part revision. Qty Detail 1 Quantity of sub-part revision relative to local parent part revision. Total Qty Detail 1 Total quantity of sub-part revisions at this location in structure. Pos Detail 1 Position identifier of sub part revision in parent part. Part Status Detail 1 The status of the sub-part revision. Possible values are: Preliminary, Active, Released, and Obsolete. Date Detail 1 The corresponding date to the sub-part revision status.
Note that:
- All conditions must be fulfilled for the products in the report, to avoid specifying conflicting conditions that result in a report with "no data found."
- The sub-structure of sub-parts that do not have matching parts (the same part number) are removed from the analysis.
- At a certain location, if there are several revision mismatches for the same part number, the order in which the different revision sub structures are compared is random (alphabetically by revision ID).
- The output is ordered by the level number,
- A separator (line) is inserted between mismatches that do not have the same location in the structure. A separator is also inserted between minor (quantity or revision) and major (subtraction or addition) mismatches at the same location with the minor mismatches placed first.
- The report does not compare the structure of a certain part revision if it is found to have a looping structure, i.e., the specified part revision is used in its own sub- structure. In this case, an error message appears in the report
