A primary source is typically a CAD or PDM or PLM system. For primary sources, quantity values are typically not updated.
Using the default color scheme for BOM comparison, you can expect the following results:
| Process Row | Row Background | Item Creation | Bom Structure | Quantity | Item Properties | Routings | Derivatives |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ☑️ | ⬜ White | N/A | Unchanged | Unchanged | Updated | N/A | N/A |
| ☑️ | 🟩 Green | N/A | Unchanged | Unchanged | Updated | N/A | N/A |
| ☑️ | 🟨 Yellow | N/A | Unchanged | Unchanged | Updated | N/A | N/A |

| 🟥 Red | N/A | Unchanged | Unchanged | Ignored | N/A | N/A |
When updating BOM rows the following table illustrates how updates occur at the secondary source.
A secondary source is typically an ERP or PLM system. For secondary sources, quantity values are typically updated to reflect the quantities of the primary soruce.
Using the default color scheme for BOM comparison, you can expect the following results:
| Process Row | Row Background | Item Creation | Bom Structure | Quantity | Item Properties | Routings | Derivatives |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ☑️ | ⬜ White | Unchanged | Updated | Updated | Updated | Processed | |
| ☑️ | 🟩 Green | Created | Linked To Parent | Updated | Updated | Updated | Processed |
| ☑️ | 🟨 Yellow | Linked To Parent | Updated | Updated | Updated | Processed | |
