Definition

Use in bills of material (BOMs)

This field controls the copy logic for main items with BOM explosion. BOM explosion in the sales document is based either on fixed SD BOMS or results from a variant configuration.

You can request the system to reexplode a BOM according to a new date (determined from the required delivery date or current date) and a new quantity (when you are copying partial quantities from a reference document). Other components may also be determined in this way.

You should only use this control for item categories that represent the final product, that is, for the main item category.

Example:

Item Material Qty UoM Item category
10 BOM-MAT 2 PC TAQ
20 COMP1 2 PC TAE
30 COMP2 4 PC TAE

For Releases up to 3.0D if references are made to this order, you must define entries in the copy control for item categories TAQ and TAE. If you don't do this, the items will not be copied because the context for the item may get lost, or because the system works with the same BOM explosion as in the reference document. However, because the new order has a much a later date, the bill of material for that date will look different and the result of the explosion will be different.

From 3.0E you can specify that only the main item is copied and therefore that the relevant bill of material with a new date and quantity is reexploded.

The sub-items are not copied at the same time and are no longer subject to the copy control. The table entries for copying item category TAE to TAE are no longer necessary and are ignored if they still exist. The system does not consider any manual changes to the reference document because the components are no longer copied but re-determined.
