Determination of the Explosion Date (SAP Library

Determination of the Explosion Date

If the production order is generated by converting a planned order then the explosion date is copied from the planned order.

If the production order is added manually the system determines the explosion date as follows:

If you have specified the order start date on order creation the system takes this date as the explosion date for the bill of material.

If you have specified the order finish date on order creation the system calculates the explosion date from the order finish date minus the in-house production time defined in the material master.

Note

If you have specified in Customizing for material requirements planning (plant parameters) that the explosion date is to be at the end of the order (bill of material explosion) then the system uses the same procedure: If the order finish date is specified, then this is copied. If no order finish date is specified then the explosion date is determined using the in-house production time.

Note

If scheduled dates are specified instead of basic dates then the system calculates temporary basic dates by taking the relevant order floats (floats before and after production) into account.
