Comparing BOM's

Yahoo Archive

Vantage does not allow the print to file option from the print menu.
However, a generic printer can be setup to print to file. The files could
then be compared with WinEdit. WinEdit highlights the difference in color.
The cost is around $99.00.

Bob:

Am I missing something here? Why not print the Methods Master (Advanced
Bill of Materials, Reports) for both parts and compare them? Then you could
also compare it to the Job traveler...it won't look quite the same...I hope
I didn't miss something earlier on this thread. We have a hard copy of all
BOMS in our engineering department, since they don't like to read stuff on
the computer screen...

Just an idea.

Is there a good way to compare two BOM's in Vantage? I have two parts
that are similar, but I want to see what is different (i.e. which
parts exist in one but not the other).

Thanks in advance!!

In v5 there is. I haven't tested it for bugs yet though.

We have been looking for something like this for some time. My question is,
does anybody know if you can compare a bom in the partsmaster to a bom in a
job.

In v5, is there a way to compare a BOM on the job side to a BOM in the part
master?

Lydia,

That's how we do it now. We have some BOM's with 1000's of parts, so we would
like to do the compare electronically.

Gotcha. We think 75 subassemblies is an enormous number here. Sometimes
you forget that everything isn't "simple".

Can you print the BOM to a file? If so you may be able to use a product
call WinEdit to compare the files.
