Concept
You can compare any two bills by entering the bills in the Find Bills to Compare page. The Bill
Components Comparison page displays both the bills. For example, you can compare the
primary to an alternate bill, the same bill across organizations, or the current revision of an
item to a future revision.

The two assemblies and their attributes are referred to as Bill 1 and Bill 2, or simply as 1 and
2.

In this topic, you will compare two bills of material in the same organization.
