Printing an NSO Differential Bill of Materials

If you make changes to a solved house model, you can create a report showing the effect of the changes on the material quantities of the solved house model. A changed house model no longer meets the option definition, so it is called an NSO model (non-standard option).

After saving the materials of a solved house model and making the desired changes to the model, open the differential bill of materials in one of the following ways:

• Select Option System > +/-BOM > Print +/- NSO Reports 1.
• Select Option System > +/-BOM > Print +/- NSO Reports 2.

The difference between these two functions is the output format of the bill of materials which is generated as a result of the comparison process. Both output formats can be customized to meet the requirements of your company.

The Differential BOM is opened in the word processor defined in the setup file. The list shows the materials of the solved house model first, followed by the effect of the changes on the material quantities.
