BOM Explosion for the Costing Run

Use

In this step, you explode the BOMs for the materials that you selected in the selection step.

  1. First, you define the selection criteria (Change parameters).
  2. Then you explode the structure (Execute).

The Status column indicates whether the processing step was executed successfully or whether warning/error messages were issued.

You can display the log for this step by choosing Display log.

The Edited and With errors columns display the number of materials that have been edited and costed with errors respectively.

The Still open column shows the number of materials that have yet to be processed for the steps Structure explosion, Costing, Marking, and Release/ Price update.

Note

You can change the selection criteria retrospectively and execute the processing step afresh. In the case of standard cost estimates, this only applies if you have not yet released the costing run. After you have done so, you can execute the selection, explosion and costing steps again, although you cannot save the costing results.

Note

A BOM explosion is only then necessary if the materials selection is incomplete, such as finished goods or certain material types only.

You can skip the BOM explosion if, for example, you select

  • all the materials in the plant without stock transfers from other plants
  • all the materials in all the plants
