Comparing BOMs in AX

Bills of material in AX 2012 can be effective dated, and this provides the ability to keep prior versions.  Now it has been several years and the question arises- what changed between versions?  There is a built-in way to compare BOMs from the same product, or even two different -perhaps related- products.  However, this functionality is hard-coded to be for China only.


In order to limit the performance impact I enable only the necessary configuration keys.  So whenever a specific report or functionality from another country could be useful, I prefer to remove the country code on those objects to allow them to be used by all countries.  This is a minor modification that does not take long, however still requires functional testing.

In this case, these four objects need to have the CountryCode property cleared.
