BOM Transfer in the Order Browser
Purpose
With BOM transfer in the order browser, you can execute BOM transfer on one of the following levels:
Since in this case the system always knows the current position within the BOM, even if you access it via a sub- tree or assembly, it can determine the characteristic value assignment and quantity for multi-level configuration.

Working with the Order Browser and Order Analysis
Prerequisites
If you work with variant configuration, you have selected the result-oriented order BOM in the
Configuration profile for the configurable materials.You have maintained the reference points in the BOM items and in the network activities.
Process Flow
analysis, whether one or more assemblies are used several times in the multi-level BOM for a sales order item.
If this is the case, swap the material in the corresponding node in the order browser, before you continue with the next steps. For more information, see
Transfer and Assemblies used more than once.The system transfers the whole tree or sub-tree below the selected node, to the Project System. If configurable assemblies are contained in the tree or sub-tree, the system determines the configuration and transfers the components, which were selected during
characteristic value assignment for this node.The BOM transfer screen appears.. The data in the selected node is copied to this screen.
Result
If you start BOM transfer from the order browser, the system determines the quantities of each component as the product of the following quantities:
