BOM explosion in SAP ERP?
In SAP ERP, various transactions (including CS13, CS11, CSK1, CK13N, CK86, etc.) are available for BOM explosion. The disadvantages are the difficult transaction entry, the limited data access and the limited analysis possibilities.
By transferring the data to a reporting environment, data access and analysis options can be simplified and accelerated. The BOM explosion takes the product costing data from the SAP Basis tables, adds the product structure data and combines all data in a clear data model.
What is the BOM explosion?
- BOM explosion is the key to visualizing and analyzing complete product structures.
- The various assembly stages are linked to form overall structures from the raw material to the end product.
- The applications consists of a modern BW HANA data model, which transfers the entire data flow into a reporting layer.
- BOM explosion allows product costing data to be analyzed in detailed and granular views.
- The database enables top-down or bottom-up evaluations,
- Top-down by product level for materials, times, costs, etc.
- Bottom-up for where-used list of materials, workstation, etc.
- Numerous additional application examples are conceivable through model extensions.
Advantages: How you benefit from BOM explosion
"With this Reporting-tool and the underlying data model we give our customers a simple and fast way to analyse complex business processes. businessrelationships in theiof the parts lists (production and/or logistics) and this at a high level of detail.. With the correct interpretation of the data and the resultingdecisions considerable cost savings can be achieved.."
Eric Trumm, Head of Innovation
How long does the implementation process take and what are the individual steps?
The basic installation with data connection and data model takes one week. Subsequently, the data loading processes and the creation of the product structure dataset are automated, customer objects are integrated and the customer-specific reports are created.
The following basic evaluations are directly available:
Calculation versions overview
Product structure
Material requirements
Cost details/cost categories
Material where-used list
Are you interested in a PoC?
The procedure for a PoC (proof of concept) is identical to the productive installation. The activities in the individual steps are reduced, automation is not implemented and the standard reports are generated.
Procedure:

Whitepaper BOM resolution
This article presents a solution for reporting and analysing product costing data (costing) across the entire product structure (view at multiple BOM levels).
The solution includes views for the product structure by BOM level or for aggregated data. Here, for example, where-used list functions for material (base material or assembly) or the respective activity type of various areas are precisely analysed.
