Use

You use this function if you want to display the components for every assembly in the multi-level BOM for a sales order item.

Prerequisites

On the screen BOM level by level: View (see Extending the View for BOM Explosion ) the multi-level indicator must be set.

Procedure

  1. Choose   Logistics   Production   Master data   Bills of material   Bill of material   Reporting   BOM explosion   Order BOM   BOM level by level.  

  2. The BOM Level by Level: Initial Screen appears.

  3. Enter the sales order number and the order item.

  1. In the Application field, enter the key of the procedure for automatic alternative determination.

Note Note

On the initial screen you do not have to enter a material number. In multi-level order BOM explosions, the whole bill of material (from the material in the sales order item) is always displayed. If you are interested in a particular assembly from an extensive bill of material, it can help to enter the material number of the header material for this assembly on the initial screen. You can then see the assembly on the screen straight away without having to scroll.

End of the note.

  1. Enter data for selecting a BOM if necessary.

Note Note

For the required quantity the system automatically proposes the order quantity from the sales document. This value can not be changed here.

End of the note.

Result

You see a list of all items that fulfill your selection criteria. The quantities refer to the required quantity displayed in the list header.

  • In the reporting list for BOM level by level, you first see all components on the first level. For components that are themselves assemblies, the Asm (assembly) indicator is set.

  • If a component is itself an assembly, its components are displayed in a separate block. You see all the assemblies that exist for components of the previous level.

Note Note

An assembly is not exploded under certain circumstances.

End of the note.

  • If a class node exists in a multi-level BOM, the material that results from the value assignment is displayed in the reporting list. However, if this material is an assembly, its components are no longer displayed in the reporting list.
