In this step, you define the procedure for exploding an item to determine dependent requirements. These settings apply to material BOMs.

Explosion types refer to certain special procurement keys for a material, which are defined in the material master (MRP 2 view).
The following three special procurement keys are relevant to explosion types:

  • Phantom assembly off

    You use the Phantom assembly off indicator, to determine how an assembly with the Phantom assembly special procurement key is exploded.

    If the header material of an assembly has the special procurement key for a phantom assembly in its material master record, the standard SAP System:

    • Transfers dependent requirements for the superior assembly directly to the components of the phantom assembly
    • Generates planned orders or purchase requisitions for the components of the phantom assembly

      If you set this indicator, dependent requirements are also generated for materials that have the Phantom assembly indicator.

  • Switch off planning

    Using the Switch off planning indicator, you define that the MRP run does not generate dependent requirements for the components of a BOM.

    This indicator is relevant to the following strategies in MRP:

    • Planning without final assembly
    • Planning with planning material

      The components and assemblies of the finished product are produced in advance. However, the finished product is only finally assembled when a sales order is received.
      The replenishment lead time for some components, such as bought-in parts, can be very short. These components do not have to be planned before you receive a sales order.

      If you select an explosion type that has this indicator for a BOM item, no dependent requirements are generated for the material component.

  • Direct production/direct procurement off

    The Direct production/direct procurement off indicator determines how an assembly with the Direct production (collective order) or Direct procurement special procurement key in its material master record, is exploded.

    In the standard SAP System, components with the special procurement key Direct production (collective order) are produced directly for the superior assembly. The planned order for such components is linked directly to the superior assembly.
    Dependent requirements for components that belong to a collective order are marked as such. The system generates a special planning segment under the "direct production" heading.

    If you select an explosion type in a BOM item for which this indicator is set, direct production or Direct procurement is switched off for the component.

You can also define for an explosion type whether the item is relevant to long-term planning and in which form dependent requirements are displayed.

  • Switch off long-term planning for an item

    Long-term planning allows you to simulate MRP across all low-level codes in parallel to normal planning. However, if your BOMs are very large, long-term planning slows down your system. For this reason, you can control planning for individual low-level codes.

    This indicator specifies that an item is ignored for long-term planning.

  • Dependent requirements indicators for individual and collective requirements

    This setting has a higher priority for the BOM item than for the requirements explosion setting in the material master record.

    The Individual requirements indicator shows that requirement quantities for the dependent material are shown individually on the level above.

    Set this indicator if you want to include the following stocks:

    • sales order stock
    • project stock

      The collective requirements indicator shows that the system can group together requirement quantities for the dependent material.
