Multilevel mode comparisons

In multilevel mode, if the comparison process matches two subassemblies in the two product structures, it proceeds to compare the two subassemblies. This process continues down the product structure until it reaches the bottom of the structure or there are no matching subassemblies left. The subassemblies match if they are the same item and have the same revision, quantity, and find number (if included). In this mode, Teamcenter reports the following differences: Additions to one of the product structures Quantity changes Revision changes Addition, revision, and removal of commercial parts Addition, revision, and removal of vendor parts Change to the preferred status of a vendor part If included in the comparison, find number changes result in a new item and the comparison reports such changes as additions. If included in the comparison, reference designator changes result in a new item and so the comparison reports such changes as additions. Use this mode to find differences between two configurations of the same product, for example, when variants are applied. The extended multilevel comparison mode continues until it finds a difference in item or find number. It reports differences in quantity or revision but continues with the comparison.
