InstallBase-No configuration is build for Configured Items procured thru PO

Question

No configuration is build in Install base for Configured Items procured thru PO.
Problem Description:
We created a PO for a Configured Item and received into an Org ( setup as serialized at receipt) for stocking purpose. The Entire Configuration is not created in Install base. We expected both the Parent and the child ( which are IB-trackable) to be created in the Install base. But the child is not created in the Install base.
We set the profile CSI:Explode BOM as "yes" and still it did not help.
Any ideas . ( Note : this is a duplicate post. I have posted under Procurement forums as well).

<u><i><b>Steps for SD Variant Configuration</b></i></u>
Some light on Variant Configuration in Detail.
The procedure is as follows:
1. Create a Material - KMAT type with Item category (002)
2. Create Charateristics in CT04 - Zbike, where in values mention the Color of the bile like Red, Blue etc
3. Create another characteristics in CT04 - ZPrice, where directly go the additional data tab and maintain the table SDCOM and field VKOND (ABAP Dictionary it will ask for)
4. Assign these two characteristics to a Class in CL01 - ZBikeclass ( Type 300) in characteristics tab page.
5. Then go to CU41 Configuration profile select the material and enter the description click on the class assignment ie assign Zbikclass.
Now go back to CT04 - enter Zbike -go to values- select Red- go to extras - Other Dependencies - Select Procedure enter in front 10 write - $self.ZPrice='Red' and save
6. Now go back go to extras - Other Dependencies - assignments and assign relationship ( by default it will come just save)
7. Now select Blue- go to extras - Other Dependencies - Editor - Select Procedure enter in front of 10 write - $self.ZPrice='Blue' and save
8. Now go back go to extras - Other Dependencies - assignments and assign relationship ( by default it will come just save)
9. Now go to VK11 - Enter VA00 (Condition)(For Std RVA001 Pricing Procedure) - enter variant Red and Blue give the rates accordingly and create the sales order.
