Extending the View for a Where-Used List

You can obtain additional information by setting the following indicators:

Long text (only variable lists)

Set this indicator if you want to see the complete long text for the item.

Multi-level

This function is supported for where-used lists for materials, and is only active if you only select Material BOMs in the Use in dataset.

Single-level where-used list

If you want to produce a single-level where-used list, do not set this indicator. For example, the list only displays BOMs in which the material (or a class to which it is assigned) occurs on level 1.

Example

Material C is used in the BOM for material B. The BOM for material B is a sub-assembly, which is included as a component in the BOM for material A.
If you produce a single-level where-used list for material C, you only see the BOM for material B in the list.

Multi-level where-used list

If you want to produce a where-used list for the entire explosion path, set this indicator.

Example

Material C is used in the BOM for material B. The BOM for material B is a sub-assembly, which is included as a component in the BOM for the finished product (material A).

If you execute a multi-level where-used list for material C, you see the following levels:

1. Level: Material B (material B is the header material of the sub-assembly)

2. Level: Material A (material A is the finished product)
