SAP Note 359467 - BOM - explosion material variant

Component : Bills of Material -

Summary :
In scenarios where a material variant with the same name as a configurable material exists, the Bill of Materials (BOM) explosion functions (e.g., CS_BOM_EXPL_MAT_V2) misinterpret the BOM component as the material variant across all structures, leading to incorrect BOM processing. This issue is addressed by introducing a new import parameter, KNFBA, in the function modules specified, utilizing Transaction SE37. The adjustment ensures that component configurations are determined as per specific requirements, allowing applications like production orders to accurately handle BOM explosions. Additional implementation details for program modifications are outlined in the Corrections section to enable accurate interpretation and processing of configurable materials despite the presence of corresponding variants.
