Displaying a Summarized BOM 

Use

In certain application areas in a company, such as material requirements planning (MRP) and costing, you need a quick overview of all the parts required to make a product. This reporting function produces a complete count of the assemblies and individual components, which you can restrict using various criteria.

This reporting function is available to you for the following BOM types:

  • Material BOMs
  • Order BOMs
  • Work breakdown structure BOMs

Procedure

  1. In the SAP Easy Access Menu select Logistics → Production → Master data → Bills of material → Reporting → BOM explosion → <BOM type> → Multi-Level BOM.

You see the Multi-level BOM initial screen, where you can maintain the same fields as for the BOM level by level function.

  1. Enter the data that identifies your BOM (such as Material, Plant, and Alternative, if appropriate).
  1. In the Application field, enter the key of the procedure for automatic alternative determination.
  1. Enter the data for Selecting a BOM.
  1. Click to determine the selection criteria for the BOM explosion.

See: BOM explosions, selection criteria.

You can maintain the following additional fields for this reporting function:

– Sort

– Component

– Sub-assemblies

  1. Click .

You see a list of all items that fulfill your selection criteria. The quantities refer to the required quantity displayed in the list header.

    • This reporting function produces a complete count of the assemblies and other components across all levels in a product structure.
    • This list does not show you the structure of the product. Assemblies and individual components which occur more than once in the product are displayed as one item, with a sum total item quantity.
    • Displaying an assembly as a component is optional.
