What is BOM explode?

Please explain about BOM explode in detail
Thanks in advance
Madhan

In general only :
let's say item A is a BOM Item with components B,C,D and B is a BOM item as well with components X,Y,Z and X also a BOM item with componets 1,2,3 and so on.
What BOM explode does in general is to get all the childs and grandchildrens, etc, etc from a particular item.
Hope that explains,

  • What is BOM? Steps Needed. How is it Related to Product Costing

    Gurus,
    What is BOM?
    How is it related to Product Costing and Profitability Analysis and CO?
    Technical help and steps would be appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Points available.

    Hi,
    BOM (Bill of Material) is a structured list of components (with the object number, quantity and unit of measure) that go into making of a product or an assembly.
    Bill of Material can be simple or complex depending upon the structure of the product. And, a collection of BOMs that lets you describe a product or a number of similar products is known as BOM Group.
    T code is CK51.
    In product costing BOM is used to estimate the cost incurred for the creation of a finished product.
    Technically, when u do a product cost run for particular material and if you don't have BOM for the material, the system will give an error.
    If useful, assign points.

  • BOM Explode in Subcontracting

    Hi Friends,
    I have following BOMs for same material.
    A = B+ C
    A = B+ D
    A = B + F
    I have maintained the same thru alternate BOM. Each alternate BOM is assigned to differnt Vendor (manually outside SAP)
    Is it posiible I get different items for each vendor (as per alternate BOM) when making PO with item category as "L" when BOM explodes. Is there any way for doing this.
    Regards

    Hi Sai,
    I agree with Mani Roopa, you should maintain 'source list' + 'quota arrangement + 'production versions''.
    You should create production version for each alternative BOM and assign these 'production versions' through quota arrangement to sources of supply (to the subcontractors).
    During MRP run, SAP will assign the vendors (exploding the relevant alternative BOM) to the PR (using QA).
    Please check:

  • BOM Explode in delivery

    when i am creating a delivery document with out reference using VL01NO transaction,whenever i enter a BOM article it has to explode.
    (as an sap standard BOM won't explode in delivery document)
    can anybody suggest solution for this requiremnet.

    Hi Srinivas
    Check item category.
    For my knowledge BOM will explode in delivery. But Picking will be done for main item. If u have maintained
    main item ERLA in Material Master.
    The Material Ordered, Delivered and Billed consists of one or Several Components.
    These components are called as Bill Of Materials
    The Material Ordered by the Customer is referred as Main Item or Higher Level item. The Components are referred as Sub-items.
    When we enter the Main-item in the Sales documents, the Components are automatically determined and this is called as expansion of Bill Of Materials.
    In SD, we treat the processing of Boms in two ways.
         Processing at Main-item.
         Processing at the Sub-item
    The Processing in both cases is controlled by the Item Categories and Schedule line Categories.
    Step: 1
       Prepare the Martial Master for all the Materials, which is main-item and Sub-item.
    In the Material Master, the Item Category group of the Main-item is important.
    We need to Maintain the item category group for the Main-items and sub-items as follows.
    Scenario               Main-Item                    Sub-Item
    Processing at               ERLA                         NORM
    Main-item level
    Processing at               LUMF                         NORM
    Sub-items
    Item Category               TAQ                         TAE
    Schedule line               CP                         CT
    Category
    Step: 2
    Let us take Computer as a Bom. It has Varies parts like Mouse, keyboard, Motherboard, Ram, CPU.
    Let us take Computer has the main-item, and sub-item as the rest.
    Prepare Material Master. We have to Prepare Material Master for Main-item and Sub-items.
    T-Code: MM01
    First Prepare for Computer which is the Main-item.
    In Sales: General/Plant. Maintain ERLA in the Item Category Group
    Then Create and Save the Material Master     
    Step: 3
    Create Material Master for the Sub-item. That is for Keyboard, Mouse,
    Motherboard, Ram & CPU.
    In Sales: General/Plant. Maintain NORM in the Item Category Group
    Maintain NORM in Item Category Group
    Step: 4
      Create Material Bom.
    T-Code: CS01
    Enter the Details
    Then Continue.
    Step: 4A
    Enter the details
    All the Sub-item added in the Material
    Then SAVE
    Step: 5
    Create Condition Record.
    T-Code: VK11
    Maintain Pricing for only the Main-item.
    Maintain Pricing only for Main-item.
    Then SAVE
    Step: 6
      Create Sales Order
    T-Code: VA01
    Enter only the Main-item.
    Step: 7
    The Bom Explodes with the Sub-item.
    And pricing is only for Main-item (Computer) and not for Sub-item.
    Bom Explodes with the Sub-item.
    Pricing is done only for the Main-item.
    Then SAVE
    Step: 8
    Create Delivery
    T-Code: VL01N
    Picking is happening only for the Main-item and not the sub-item
    Then SAVE
    Check the above things. Whether u have maintained.

  • What is BOM in unicode?

    what is BOM in unicode?
    explain me please
    and why it is not used in UTF-8?
    thank you,
    Regards,
    Jagrut BharatKumar Shukla

    A byte order mark (BOM) consists of the character code U+FEFF at the beginning of a data stream, where it can be used as a signature defining the byte order and encoding form, primarily of unmarked plaintext files. Under some higher level protocols, use of a BOM may be mandatory (or prohibited) in the Unicode data stream defined in that protocol.

  • BOM exploding too early

    Hello!
    I'm facing a weird problem, and after spending many hours trying to figure how to solve it, I gave up.
    I'm working with Manugistics, and every night the system communicates with SAP, which "downloads" all PldOrds. We produce Personal Care products, such as Shampoos and Conditioners, so part of the BOM is package, and the other part is the bulk.
    The problem is that some PldOrds explode the packaging on the same date it is planned (as we expect), but the PldOrd for the production of the bulk (and therefore all raw materials below it) is exploding way before it should be (in some cases, more than 3 months before)
    This also happens with subcontrating POs, exploding way before its creation date. Please take a look at two examples:
    http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/190/explosao.jpg/
    PldOrd from 13/10 exploding raw materials 04/07
    http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/651/explosao2.jpg/
    subcontrating PO from 10/10 exploding raw materials 04/07
    http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/838/explosao3.jpg/
    PO order report: packaging explosion date is OK, but bulk is way early
    what parameters should I look for? where does this come from?
    Thank you for your time.
    Pedro.

    Hi,
    System uses opening date to read PP master data. Please check the opening date of the planned orders. Opening date is determined by subtracting opening period from the order start date. Opening period is maintained in the scheduling margin key and assigned to materials in MRP2 screen. Check the openning period in the scheduling margin key assigned to the materials.
    Regards.

  • BOM explode in Stock Transfer Purchase Order

    Hi SAP gurus,
    Stock transport order from Manufacturing plant to Depot plant scenrio ,
    In T.code ME21N while entering BOM maintained material it should explode its components in purchase order like Sales order .
    In sales order when we are using the item categories TAQ and TAE system explode BOM materials with SD BOM 5. Is there any similar configuration / Item Categories available for STO Purchase order to explode BOM.
    During Goods receipt (MIGO), BOM should explode.
    Thank in advance.

    hi
    the bill of material is a kind of formula or ratio given to the finished product ,so that system will calculate the raw material for the finish product
    so BOM will be use in item cat L as ur taking finished goods from vendor
    bom is used in production for finished product
    as u said in ur case we cant use the BOM as there is no consumption of raw material for finished product ,it is just transfer of material from one plant to another plant
    hope it clears
    regards
    kunal

  • Sales Bom explode for ATP subitem

    Hi,
    We have a senario that customer orders parent item, so we input parent item. In sales order, this parent item will go to APO for ATP check. then APT will force to create new subitem in the sales order after ATP check. After new item created, I want sales BOM can be exploded as the subitems of APO confirmed item.
    It seems std SAP dun allow link any subitems to APO subitem. Does anyone has similiar solution to share? Thanks a lot.

    Hi ,
          Bill of material (BOM)
    A list of all of the items that make up a product or assembly. The list has a formal structure and states the name, quantity, and unit of measure for each component. A comprehensive product life-cycle management solution should offer support for the following categories of BOM: feature and requirements structures, material BOM, document structures, equipment BOM, functional location BOM, sales order BOM, and work breakdown structure BOM. 
    Defining Bill of Materials
    Use
    Use the procedure to add and view Bill of Materials.
    Procedure
           1.      Choose Production ® Bill of Materials.
           2.      On the Product No. field, press TAB to choose the item, which you want to define as a parent item, from the list of the Item Master records. You can also choose New on Choose from List to create a new master record.
    If the parent item already has a Bill of Materials, the components are displayed. However, you can still create a new Bill of Materials for that parent item.
           3.      Select the relevant BOM type from the list as described in Bill of Materials Types.
    Choose the Production type to be able to include the product in the MRP run and to process standard production orders.
           4.      Enter data for the finished product and the components. For details, see Bill of Materials Window.
    If the BOM contains more than one component with the same serial or batch items; combine the items in a single component with the appropriate increased quantity. This will prevent possible errors in the batch or serial quantities.
           5.      Choose Add to save the Bill of Materials.
           6.      Choose OK.
    Sometimes production gives rise to waste. If, for example, you manufacture the table, this process gives rise to sawdust.
    You add sawdust as an additional component (by product). Enter a negative value in the Quantity field of the sawdust component.
    When you complete and confirm the production of the desk, this component is put into stock. On the contrary, the rest of the components are removed from stock when you complete and confirm production.

  • Sales Order BOM(Usage 5)-Manual re order point VB-No BOM Explode-MD02

    Hi Guru's,
    I have typical requirement from my client.
    Requirement is as follows.
    1)There is no Production in the Plant, so NO PP module.
    2)All parts are like Kit, Purchase will be Component wise and at the time of Sales, Sales will assemble(Sales BOM)
    3)Requirement should trigger from Manual re order point-VB
    4)Am using Material type HAWA-Trading Material
    5)I have changed Usage type 5 as Production and sales, because system should Explode the BOM at MD02 and as well it should use in Sales order.
    Problem is
    1)If i Set MRP type PD, Strategy 10, and Demand from MD61 then system is exploding BOM and giving PLanned order and PR
    2)If i set MRP type VB or V1, No strategy and Requirement should arrise from Safety stock and re order point, system wont Exploding in MD02 for Component level(child part)
    Please give me advise on this issue.
    Thanks,
    VR

    Hi Karthi,
    Currently Stock is Zero and my reorder point is 10 and safety stock 5 for Parent and same this is applicable for child part.

  • BOM exploding problem

    Hi All,
    When I am trying to process a sales order with one material witch is a BOM material It could not explode the BOM. I am getting the error as Structure explosion for item 000020 is not possible.
    I checked the item category group for the material i.e ERLA and other materials also.while creating the BOM selected usage 5,itc L.Please let me know if I am missing some thing.
    Thanks,
    AKHI.

    Hi akhi,
    Now please check the header material item category settings (TAQ), there structure scope field should be A or B. 
    Please check the item category for the line items in the sales order.
    For header items:
    OR + ERLA  =  TAQ
    For sub items:
    OR + NORM + TAQ =  TAE
    if it is there it must work, IF it is not so, please make an assignment in VOV4 like above.
    Also check u have created BOM with application 5 (SD).
    I am sure u will get it. Any further queries, please post.

  • BoM exploding and hiding items in Sales Order

    Hi All,
    We have a requirement which needs some suggestions.
    The client needs the BoM item to be supressed. I know we can do that through Sales Order Type. I am not sure if we can do through Item Categories as well. But the requirement is incase some region needs to correct price for child items, how do we display these hidden child items after we have hidden. Is it a enhancement ?
    rgds..Ameet

    Hello Ameet
    You change the display range while in the order. Once you are in the first screen of the  order (Overview usually) , use menu option Edit> Display range> All items to display the sub items also. However you might want to control this through authorization in such a way that only authorized users can view /change them. Hope this helps.
