This can be attributed to the complexities associated with managing multiple BOMs. Users are advised to consult the "Subcontracting overview" document available in SAPNet under the Materials Management (MM) section for guidance on BOM explosion, detailed in section 2 of the document. SAP Note 205454 provides instructions on accessing this document for further understanding and troubleshooting.
