I am doing a lot of adding depth converting a design bill to a manufacturing bill. How do I check that I haven gained or lost any net components in the process?
Copy the assembly concerned or check it out. Make the changes to the checked out article or the original (if just copied). Select the assembly that has been converted from flat to manufacturing bill and then the compare menu option on its right click menu. The consolidated stage of the comparison provides the confirmation that you need. The log generated can be archived or auto-archived as audit evidence. After confirming that there were no net losses or gains, the assembly can be checked back in or the temporary copy that was made of the original state can be deleted.
