Displaying a Summarized BOM Group 

1. At the top of the screen, you see the selected header data of the BOM group, such as:

– BOM group

– Plant

– BOM description

– Material

– Material description

For a variant BOM, the Material field shows the material of the first variant.

2. In the second part of the screen, you see the summary of BOM items.

In the list header, you see all the fields:

– Item number

– Component/component description

– Quantity and unit of measure (Un)

– Item category (ICt)

– Object dependencies – only for configurable BOMs

– List of alternatives (01 02..)

The contents of this list are determined automatically. Depending on whether you are dealing with a multiple BOM or a variant BOM, you see either the names of the alternatives of the multiple BOM or the consecutive numbers of the variants of the variant BOM.

3. In the main part of the list, you see all items in the BOM group, sorted in ascending order by item number.

The system allocates each item to the alternative in which it is used.

In the list of alternatives, the system displays an indicator in the column for each alternative or variant in which each item is used.

On this overview, the first eight alternatives or variants are shown.

4. If more alternatives exist, you enter the alternative or variant from which you want to start the list in the From alternative field.

– If you want to see an overview of existing alternatives or variants first, choose:
