MBOM Explosion Parameters

Use this group box to specify MBOM explosion parameters for the selected assembly.

MBOM Levels

Use this group box to choose whether to load the first-level components of the assembly, the entire assembly BOM through all the levels, or an indented assembly BOM through a specified number of levels.

Field Description
Levels

Use this drop-down list to select the level of assembly to load. Options include:

  • Single-Level: Select this option to load only the first-level components of this assembly.
  • Indented - All Levels: Select this option to load the entire assembly BOM through all the levels.
  • Indented - Specify Levels: Select this option to load the BOM through a specified number of levels. You must enter a number in the adjacent unlabeled field.

Configuration

Use this group box to view the BOM for all configurations, for a specific configuration, or for a specific date.

Field Description
Show All Configurations

Select this check box to view the components for all configurations/effective dates of the parent part. This option is available only if you selected the Single-Level option in the BOM Levels group box. If you do not select this check box, the display will be based on the as-of date and the configuration ID entered.

As of Date

Use this field to enter, or use to select, the effective date for the BOM component. Costpoint loads only those lines with effective starting and ending dates corresponding to the as-of date. This field is disabled if you selected the Show All Configurations check box.

Configuration

Use this field to enter, or use to select, the BOM configuration ID for selective component viewing. This field is active if you selected the Use Configuration IDs check box in the BOM Corporate Settings block of the Configure Bills of Material Settings screen in Costpoint Bills of Material. This field is disabled if you selected the Show All Configurations check box.

If you enter a configuration ID, the display depends on whether that configuration ID appears on a given component line. If a line exists with the entered configuration ID, that line displays. If no line exists with the entered configuration ID, but there is a line without a configuration ID, the line without a configuration ID displays. If a line cannot be found that contains either the entered configuration ID or an empty Configuration ID field, no line displays.
