Abstract

A method, system and apparatus for visualization of versions of a BOM (business object model) is provided. In accordance with an embodiment of the invention, data from at least two different BOMs can be extracted to create a flat table, where the flat table includes all versions of each of the different BOMs. A hierarchy of nodes can then be generated from the flat table. Additionally, a root node and a hierarchy of descendants based upon the hierarchy of nodes using a tree map can be displayed in a graphical user interface of a computer.
