Activity Print Product Structure Difference Report

Explanation

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

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
