The Multi-Component Matrix extends the Windchill BOM Management module, adding another option for comparing Part Structures (BOM’s).
It enables a user to select two or more BOM’s to compare what Parts make up those structures.
The user can compare by Usage or Occurrence, allowing them to quickly scan to see differences.
The tools is designed to compare the latest BoM of a number of part structures.
The tool will be available for all users, from the following menus

The items selected in the left panel and the occurrences in the right.
The tool uses a uniqueness to search each structure for items and compares items that share the following uniqueness
Reference Designator - Level - Number

Each part show a tick or a dash if we have this uniqueness found in this structure.
By selecting the show only difference only items with deltas will be shown
