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
- Open Supply Chain Planning → BOM Explosion Runs.
- Review nightly (and any manual) propagation runs.
- Open Details to inspect component demand produced from finished-goods forecasts.
- 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. :::
