Selecting a BOM for the Explosion (SAP Library

Selecting a BOM for the Explosion

When a BOM is exploded, the system checks the material master record of the header material (Basic Data view). The Valuate effectivity indicator influences the possible entries for the explosion.

If this indicator is not set in the material master record, the BOM is exploded according to the Valid-from date.

If the indicator is set in the material master enter the effectivity requirements for the explosion in the Valuate effectivity parameter dialog box.

Selection Criteria

The following selection criteria influence which BOM is selected:

Valid-from date

You must enter a valid-from date if you have processed the material BOM several times with change numbers that have a valid-from date defining their effectivity (the SAP System standard). This gives rise to several effectivity periods.

If you enter a change number, the system determines the valid-from date from the change master record.

Change number

If you enter a change number, you display the version of the BOM that is effective for this change number.

Revision level

If you enter a revision level, the system finds the related change number and displays the version of the BOM that is effective for this change number.

Required quantity

If the BOM is a multiple BOM, you see the alternative for the lot-size range that corresponds to the required quantity. If you do not enter a required quantity, the base quantity is automatically the required quantity.
