• You select the component and proceed as below. When you do this, the "header" material is assigned the item category T (text item) which means that no requirements will be generated for it, just for the subordinate items.
• If you do not select the component, but enter it manually in the dialog box, it remains allocated to the network with the original item category. You can delete this component or define it as an assembly item, by giving it a negative requirements quantity.

1. On the Component Overview screen for an activity, choose Components ® Explode BOM.

The BOM selection dialog box appears.

2. Enter the necessary data, for example for a WBS BOM the WBS element for which the BOM was created. The default value for the requirements quantity is the Execution Factor in the activity. You can explode the BOM level-by-level or all at once (multi-level).



If you explode the BOM all at once, requirements could be generated both in the network and in MRP, depending on control of the BOM items. Since MRP always explodes the complete BOM, this could lead to multiple requirements for the same component.

3. Choose Continue.

A list of all the BOM items appears.



Document items are not includes in this list, since the system does not copy document items to network activities.

4. Select the items that you want to allocate to the network and choose Copy.
5. If necessary, check the data for inventory management and account assignment.
6. Save the network.
