From the list of shared product data, choose the required BOM.
In the BOM details view, in the header area, choose Create Redlining.

The BOM redlining view is displayed.

Perform one of the following actions:

User Action	Description	Result

Before saving a redlining file, the redlining actions you perform determine the status of a component in the redlining. For more information, refer to the following table.

Initial Status	Status After User Action
Initial Status	Add	Edit	Delete
No Status	Created	Edited	Deleted
Created	NA	Created	NA - the component is deleted from the redlining
Edited	NA	Edited	Deleted
Deleted	NA	User action not allowed	User action not allowed

Save the redlining.
Note
- The redlining file is saved as a JSON file in the format explained in the following example.
  Example
  
  If the BOM file in the collaboration that you are creating a redlining for is BIKE_MODEL_P001_1_1_ChangeNo_1482278400000_253402214400000_BOM(ABC007).bom, and you enter the redlining file name as BikeRedlining, then the redlining file is saved as BIKE_MODEL_P001_1_1_ChangeNo_1482278400000_253402214400000_BOM(ABC007)_BikeRedlining.redlining. The file is saved in the default folder named Shared Product Data in the collaboration shared documents.
  1. BOM Redlining Format: <Material>_<Plant>_<BomUsage>_<Alternative>_<ChangeNumber>_<ValidFrom>_<ValidTo>_<ObjectTypeID>_<RedlineFile>.redlining
