To do a requirements explosion for a configured material, you must maintain the data in the material master record and link a BOM to the configured material.

Note

If the material of the material variant is the same as the configurable material, the link is already there.

You can either create a BOM especially for the configured material (perhaps using the copy from function) or allocate the configured material to the BOM for the configurable product. The second option is the more common solution.

If you allocate the configured material to the BOM for the configurable product, the BOM for the configurable product is interpreted and exploded according to the characteristic values assigned. The interpretation includes the processing of selection conditions and the setting of field values in BOM items according to the relevant actions.

Allocating a Configured Material to a BOM

To allocate the configured material to the BOM of the configurable product, proceed as follows:

  1. From the bills of material menu, choose Bills of material ® Material BOM ® Alloc. config. mat. ® Create.
  2. Enter the name of your configured material in the Material field.

    3. You see a screen on which your configured material is shown as the first allocation. Select the allocation and choose the All allocs for BOM function to see all the materials allocated to this BOM.

  3. Save your allocation.
