Explode Bill of Materials

EBS: Bill of Materials > Bills > Indented Bills

An Explode download returns everything required to build the specified Item.

A normal download returns Item/Revision information, Component information etc., for the specified Item.

Components can be Items or built structures with a Bill of Materials of their own.

An Explode download will return these Component bills as well, to the level specified.

The Explode download is not available for the EAM modes (Asset BOM, Maintenance BOM, Rebuildable BOM)

Although an Explode can be done without it, we recommend having the optional ‘Exploder Level’ column on the sheet when doing an Explode download, as this will show where in the structure/the level, at which each Component bill is found, and the bill in which it is a Component, to better explain the ‘Indented Structure’ returned.

Explode can be done via the Download form or by sheet download.

Explode by sheet allows the Explode of multiple items simultaneously.

The information required for an Explode download:

Inventory Org Code – Restrict to Assemblies in the specified Organization.

Assembly – Specify the Item to Explode

Alternate – Specify which alternate bill to Explode.

Explode Level – Specify how deep to search – select the value on the Ribbon.
