Number of BOM Usages

The system identifies all plant-related material BOMs in which the specified material exists or is included directly as a component.

If you have specified a material group, all of the materials in this group are considered.

Usage and alternatives are not taken into account because only the various header materials are counted.

Group BOMs without plant information are ignored.

If you have selected the Only Active Production Versions checkbox, the system considers only the usage or alternative specified in a production version that is valid on the validity date. BOMs that do not appear in active production versions are not counted.

Only the BOMs that are valid on the validity date, including their components, are examined.

BOMs with deletion indicators and/or deletion flags are ignored.

The BOM status must be "Active" if no production version is used.

The following example provides the logic for determining the various key figures with regard to BOM usages:
