   To view an indented bill of material:

1. Navigate to the Indented Bill of Material window.

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.

3. Enter the revision, the revision date, and the number of levels to explode for this bill. See: Bills of Material Profile Options.

4. Select a Display option: All, Current, or Future and Current components effective as of the revision date you specify.

Use the Implemented Only field to further restrict the components displayed. See: ECO Statuses.

5. Select a sort option for each level of the bill, by operation sequence then item sequence, or item sequence then operation sequence.

6. Indicate whether to see costing information, and if so, enter the cost type.

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.

Indicate whether to view lead time and/or material control information, and whether to use planning percents when calculating component quantities.

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.
