Avenue Managing VC - Model Compare
You no doubt, have many changes to your VC or IPC cvonfigurable product models and would like to validate changes to be accurate before moving to production.
How do you compare your changed models to the last version? Today, this is probably a combination of using your eyes and reviewing detail reports or it doesn't get done. Its time to try eSpline's Avenue Portal / Managing VC Model Compare and experience how easy Managing your VC changes can be.
Avenue Compare gathers configurable product data from your SAP Kb, presents it for comparison with the same product model that was extracted last week or yesterday or from a different SAP instance. You have controlled the downloads and now want to compare today's model with a previous one to see what changes were made since the last download.
Now, you can:
- Readily compare changes, adds or deletes in two model versions with differences highlighted
- Compare VC or IPC logic of your last model update vs. an existing or production model
- View your VC or IPC product model displayed in a way that is easy to understand and navigate
- Automatically and quickly identify the product models differences or if they are the same...
Managing the VC change review and approval process just became easier because now, there is an automated process to help you manage your VC logic changes. The review and approval cycle can now be done in a fraction of the time it took to review manually and nothing is left unseen. It takes a matter of minutes to download two models that may be different versions or download from different instances.
Avenue Compare quickly identifies and displays your model with changes highlighted. We display the logic in an easy to read format and illustrate the differences.
The first page header tells you the model name, knowledgebase ID, date extracted, system name, client, who extracted the model, and what is the XML version number. Your logo can be optionally added in the heading
Red - this highlighted logic exists in the first downloaded model and not in the second. So, it was deleted.
Green - this highlighted logic exists in the second downloaded model and not in the first. So this was added.
Blue - both models have the VC logic but the logic is different.

“I do want to say, I did a trial with a couple of models and did the compare. Since we are still manually copying data, I did a compare between our production version and test version. I was able to find data issues that saved us a ton of time if we would have gone live with the issues!”
