Understanding What a PCN Is
6-4: Generating PCNs and Uploading BOMs
❑
Did
bn_bomprocess
complete with the message “Please review
bn_bomprocess.log for parts IGNORED”
? You probably ran
bn_bomprocess
after creating new parts but before they were included in the downloaded
database from SAP. In this case, rerun
bn_bomprocess
later.
❑
Did you read all the error messages displayed by
bn_bomprocess
? You don’t
want any error messages, and it won’t help to ignore them.
Check the
bn_bomprocess.log
in your working directory in case you no
longer have access to the display from
bn_bomprocess
. Were the correct
.cfg
,
_bne_bp.lst
,
.saplis
, and include files used? Was the correct
manufacturing target chosen? Were checksums found for all the
programmable device files? Were there any quantity/ref description count
mismatches? Did the utility build the output files as shown near the bottom of
the following lines?

❑
Have you examined the
_proto.diff
file produced by
bn_bomprocess
?
For example, is the correct part being revved? Is the new rev higher than the
old one? Are the number and type of changes correct? Did you submit a new
device file but is the checksum change count zero? Have you examined the
detailed changes listed in the file (although they’re not shown below)?
