No Sales BOM explosion via BAPIs

[Former Member]

Hi all,

We use BAPI_INQUIRY_CREATEFROMDATA to create inquiries; however this does not explode sales BOM; rather it creates just one line for the main material.

Are there any specific input parameters that need to be modified to trigger BOM explosion in the background.

Alternatively, are there any BAPIs or FMs at least to simulate BOM explosion and return the results so that we can pass them explicitly to the inquiry create BAPI.

Or is there any other way to create sales documents with sales BOM explosion. (we can't change the BAPI as its part of the source code of a 3rd party application; but we have user exits before and after this BAPI call).

Thanks,

KC

Solved. Sales BOM does get exploded even in BAPIs. Checked with a different user ID and it worked. The RFC user seemed to have an authorization problem.
