Assigning a New Key to the BOM Explosion Number 

Use

The BOM explosion number is transferred to the planned order of the finished product or of the main assembly during the planning run and copied to the planned orders for the main assemblies on all BOM levels when determining dependent requirements.

If you want an individual assembly within the BOM structure to be exploded with a different date, you can assign a new key to the BOM explosion number, that is, assign a different BOM explosion number to the main assembly.

This is also the case, when a main assembly is used in several BOMs and various BOM explosion numbers have been maintained for the higher levels. The new key assignment then determines that the main assembly is always produced with one standard BOM explosion number.

Procedure

  1. Proceed as described in Changing BOM Explosion Numbers under points 1 to 3.
  2. Select the BOM explosion numbers that you want to assign a new key to.
  3. Choose Maintain new key assignment.

    4. The screen for maintaining new key assignments now appears.
