View BOM Summarized Explosion – A summary of the activity

You can view the explosion of the bill of material for an item/planning group selected. The display is based on the number of levels specified. The item/planning group is displayed only once even if it occurs in multiple levels in the bill of material. The explosion quantity and the date refer to the quantity of the Item/planning group for which the bill of material explosion is required and the date on which the Bill of Material is to be viewed. The product structure category and usage for the item can also be selected. The relevant product structure of the item can be either retrieved using the search criteria or entered manually if the same is known. The system also retrieves the default product structure for the set of conditions of item, quantity and date.

You can retrieve the bill of material for date and quantity conditions or can ignore the conditions. You can also consider the product structures for items across business units. This feature helps to identify valid product structure if it does not exist in the login user organization unit. The save template feature helps to save the default fields and avoids unnecessary entry in the screen. On entering the necessary fields, the corresponding results are retrieved in the multiline. Help screens are defined to search the items, planning groups and the product structures.

After the bill of material details is retrieved in the multiline, you can download the details to an excel sheet using the download operation. This task transfers all the page details to an excel file and opens the file for viewing and saving.
