Order BOM Usage 5

[Former Member]

Hello,

Is it possible to Create an Order Bill of Material (CS61) with a BOM Usage of 5 to explode the Order BoM structure on the sales order line item? I'm not convinced but would love to know if it is possible.

Thanks, Mart

Thanks Amit, yes that's done if it's a Material BOM with BOM Usage 5.

But if you have an Order BOM how do you explode it onto the sales order? You can't create the BOM before you've created the order line item.

Hi Mart,

In an Order BOM the Sales Order is already created and then the order BOM is created. However, using the earlier solution, I dont think that the BOM will explode, since the SO is already created.

However, you may check settings in IMG in the following path:

Production > Material Requirements Planning > Planning > BOM Explosion > Define BOM Explosion Control

However, before going ahead with that, I would go ahead and consult a PP person to make sure, it doesnt have other implications.

Hi Mart,

Yes, it is possible.

You just need to maintain BOM configuration in Item category to determine if the Structure scope is single or multi level explosion.
