Configure the structures for comparison

You compare two configured structures displayed in separate Structure Manager panes. Open the source structure in the left pane and the target structure in the right pane.

Procedure If the structures are not already open, do the following to open the first structure: Select the BOM view revision and click the Open By Name button . You can also double-click the BOM view revision or use your MRU list to open the required structure. Teamcenter opens the Open By Name dialog box. In the ID box of the Open By Name dialog box, type the identifier of the item you want to compare and click Find. Click the Load all button. Teamcenter displays the results. Alternatively, you can right-click an item, item revision, or BOM view revision, and then choose Send To→Structure Manager to open it. Click the Split BOM button . Teamcenter open a second pane, adjacent to the current pane. Select the second pane and repeat step 1 to open the second structure. Select the correct top-level line in each structure to use for the comparison. Configure the structures by setting the revision rule and variant rule in each window. Expand and collapse assemblies to define the scope of the comparison. You can compare only the visible structures displayed in the windows. Hide unconfigured variants by choosing View→Show Unconfigured Variants.

Note If you have a product structure open in a split window, you can only open another structure in the same split window, not in a new split window.
