Viewing an Indented Bill of Material
An indented (multilevel, exploded) manufacturing or engineering bill of material displays the structure of a manufacturing or engineering item.
To view an indented bill of material:
2. In the Find Indented Bills window, enter the item and/or the alternate for the bill.
Note: If you entered an alternate, the explosion process will search for all components with the same alternate label. If, at any level, an alternate with the same label is not found, the primary is used. The explosion process then continues searching for the original alternate label.
You can simulate product costs for budgeting and planning analysis purposes. To do so, the Privilege to View Cost security function must be enabled for the responsibility.
Any field that is checked here causes a corresponding alternative region to appear on the Indented Bill of Material window.
7. Choose the Find button to explode the bill.
The Indented Bill of Material window appears and displays the first level of the bill.
The Components window contains the following alternative regions, some of which may be disabled according the display options you selected: Item Details, Bill Details, Quantities, Effectivity, Material Control, Lead Time, Order Entry, Costing, and Shipping.
8. Use the control buttons to expand or collapse portions of the indented bill. You can only expand up to the explosion level indicated in the Find window.
