Viewing Equivalence Links
Use the Equivalent Parts tab to display and modify the equivalent part information of the part selected in the tree structure. The equivalent part tab links a part listed in the upstream BOM, with the downstream BOM part. For example, it links a design eBOM part with the mBOM part used in the manufacturing BOM.
This link is between two part iterations. A part can have multiple equivalence links. The following link tables appear on this tab:
Displays the eBOM part from which the selected mBOM part was originally created.
Displays any iteration of the upstream part that has been created for the selected downstream part but is not linked to the upstream part.
Displays any iteration of the downstream part that has been created for the selected upstream part but is not linked to the upstream part.
Displays the mBOM part that has been created for the selected eBOM part.
If a part is linked to another part that has a more recent iteration, the equivalence link is out of date
and is not displayed in the equivalent parts table. To locate these parts, see
Finding Equivalence Links.
