When is a BOM Explosion Terminated?

In certain situations, the following checks can stop an assembly from being exploded:

  • Recursiveness check

  • Authorization check

Note Note

In the list, you see a note on why the assembly has not been exploded. The note is in the component description line.

End of the note.

Recursiveness check

In the general item data of the BOM component that causes recursiveness, you can maintain the following indicators:

  • BOM is recursive

  • Recursiveness allowed

See Recursiveness Check .

If one of these indicator is set for a component, the BOM explosion stops at this component.

The following exception messages are defined:

REKU

Recursiveness recognized by system

NREK

Recursiveness allowed

Authorization check

In the BOM header, you can use the Authorization group to control access to the entire BOM. If access to a BOM is restricted by the authorization group, you can only access the BOM if your user master record contains the authorization group defined.

If you do not have the authorization required, the BOM explosion stops at the component (assembly) for which you are not authorized.

The following exception message is defined:

NBER

Authorization group for component not in user profile
