Note

This function is only available for variable lists.

If you have restricted the selection criteria for explosion in such a way that no coherent structure exists, this function may be inactive.

The time it takes to set up the screen depends on how your work center is equipped and on the current load of the system.

The system goes to the graphical display function and shows the structure of the selected BOM.

The screen structure depends on various settings in the graphical display function. For example, by choosing Settings, you can define how the screen is divided and which colors are assigned.

In the standard settings, the screen is divided into the display area and the navigation area, which are described below.

In this area, the components are displayed according to the structure of the BOM.

For each component, you see the following data:

      1. Item category
      2. Item number
      3. Component
      4. Component description
      5. Quantity and unit of measure

The different item categories are shown in different colors.

In the vertical and horizontal scroll bars, you can change the area, which is displayed.

In this area, you see the entire structure of the BOM in graphical form. The system marks the section shown in the display area.

If the BOM you are displaying is large, this can help you to see where you are.
