Run BOM Explosion

BOM Explosion Runs turn finished-goods forecasts into dependent demand for components so purchasing reflects production plans, not only component sales history.

This menu appears only when Manufacturing is also licensed.

Steps​

  1. Open Supply Chain Planning → BOM Explosion Runs.
  2. Review nightly (and any manual) propagation runs.
  3. Open Details to inspect component demand produced from finished-goods forecasts.
  4. Confirm raw-material forecasts on the Forecasting Workbench reflect dependent demand after a successful run.

Same-day BOM edits are picked up on the next nightly explosion — not instantly. Keep manufacturing BOMs current before you expect component plans to move. See Create a bill of materials and Plan material requirements.

What is included​

  • Multi-level / sub-assembly recursion through active manufacturing BOMs
  • Feed into advanced forecasting for raw materials and components

What is not included​

Kits (sales bundles) are not exploded here. They continue to use Inventory kit logic — see Set up kits.

:::warning Manufacturing unlicensed later If Manufacturing is turned off later, BOM explosion stops running and component forecasts freeze rather than failing every night. :::
