Pre-Explode Configurable Bills of Material
The Pre-Explode Configurable Bills of Material program improves performance during order entry when you select configuration options after modifying model and option class bills of material. You can run this process as often as your business requires based on the frequency of your changes to model and option class bills. For your convenience, Order Entry/Shipping can resubmit this program at a time or time interval you specify upon submission, so that bills of material are regularly pre-exploded without any further involvement on your part.
