 Creating a Result-Oriented Order BOM Locate this document in the navigation structure

Use

The result-oriented order BOM means that the configuration result with manual changes is saved as an order BOM. Dependencies are not saved. This means that the saved assemblies are smaller than if you saved a copy of the super BOM.

Exploding the BOM in interactive configuration triggers an update using the material BOM. Dependencies are processed, which means that changes to characteristic values can result in a change to the structure. New items that are created in the material BOM are copied to the result-oriented order BOM.

Prerequisites

On the Configuration parameters tab in the configuration profile, the settings Order BOM and Result-oriented are selected.

System Performance

Exploding the BOM in non-interactive configuration ( Low-Level Configuration ) does not process the dependencies again, so this way of saving improves system performance in subsequent processes for configurable materials, such as material requirements planning (MRP).

Features

The procedure for creating a result-oriented order BOM is the same as for Creating a Knowledge-Based Order BOM .

The result-oriented order BOM has the following additional functions:

  • Instantiation

If you change or configure assemblies when processing the order BOM, you can create new material master records without leaving the processing function.

  • Creating an order BOM without inclusion in the structure as a whole

You can use this function to create order BOMs before you know how they will be linked into the structure as a whole.

Restrictions and Notes on BOM Maintenance

  • BOMs of non-configurable assemblies are not exploded on the result screen, unless the Only configurable assemblies indicator is deselected in the configuration profile.

  • Characteristic values can only be assigned to configurable assemblies that have the Order BOM setting.

Caution Caution

If you insert a new item on the result screen, the system checks whether it can use an order BOM that exists for the component. If there is no order BOM, the material BOM is used.

End of the caution.
