What are the benefits of this feature?

 

This allows you to see differences in fields between a Project and your SIX Catalog.

When to use this feature?

 

When you want to see if anything has changed in your Catalog since adding the Product/Labor Item to a Project or if you want to compare changes made in a Project with what is in the Catalog.

Details

 

Once you select the Product(s)/Labor Item(s) that you want to compare, click the [Compare With] button on the Catalog tab within the Project Editor and select either "Products" or "Labor Items":

"Unit Price" is selected by default, but you can choose any field that you want to compare. Once you make your selection, click [Next >]. If there are any differences in the field selected between the Item in the Project and the Catalog, they will be listed:

The default filter is set to "Dissimilar", but you can change this to "All" or "Similar" if needed, depending on why you are comparing:
