Calling up the Browser (SAP Library - Order BOMs (PP-BD-BOM))

Calling up the Browser

From the SAP Easy Access menu, choose Logistics ® Production ® Master data ® Bills of material ® Bill of material ® <BOM type > ® Multi-level ® Browser.

You see the initial screen of the browser.

Enter the identified data for the BOM, the BOM application and also a date or a change number.

If you enter a change number here, the system uses this change number to explode the multi-level BOM in the overview tree. The change number on the initial screen of the browser is not valid for changes that you then carry out to the single-level BOM.

Note

If you click This graphic is explained in the accompanying text the system displays a list of the last ten BOMs displayed in the browser.

Note

If you now click This graphic is explained in the accompanying text the system displays other data from the environment of the selected BOM on the initial screen.

If you are working with large BOMs and only want to display the assembly on the top level of the multi-level BOM, enter a value for the maximum explosion level.

Click on to enter the settings for explosion and display. You can

Define the view. For more information, see the component PS – Project System under Define view for BOM explosion.

Restrict the view.

Using the indicator Ltd Explosion (Limited Explosion) you can select whether BOM items kept in stock should be exploded further. For more information, see the component PP - BOMs under Restrict view for BOM explosion.

Using the indicator Var. Display Depth (Variable Display Depth) you can specify that only a section of the multi-level BOM is displayed in the order browser. You can find further information in Variable display depth.

Specify whether the multi-level BOM should be automatically up-dated after each processing step.
Select whether the overview tree and the processing functions are displayed in the same window.

If you do this, the overview tree is displayed in the left or top screen area. If in the context menu of a BOM header or of a BOM item you select a processing function, the system displays this function in the right or bottom screen area.
