■ Normal Tallied Format: identical component or component/assemblies
are tallied and reported as single line items (for example, Red push-button
operator 800EP-F4 with 800E-A3L latch and two 800E-3X10 N.O. contact
blocks).
■ Normal Tallied Format (Group by Installation/Location): identical
component or component/assemblies with the same installation/location
codes are tallied and reported as single line items.
■ Display in Tallied Purchase List Format: each part becomes its own line
item (for example, no longer any subassembly items) and each is tallied
across all component types. For example, all 800E-3X10 N.O. contact blocks
for all components are reported as a single line item.
■ Display in By TAG Format: all instances of a given component-ID or
terminal tag are processed together and reported as a single entry.
