Hi everyone,

Is there someone who knows, if, when creating a salesorder, it is possible to automatically explode a BOM, when selecting a specific item containing a BOM?

Regards.

    Not to my knowledge - you need to create a customization that basically does the following:
    1.) Create a new flag on the Item Card stating "Automatically Explode BOM".
    2.) Create code on the Sales Line so that it does the following:
      a.) Checks to see if the Item has "Automatically Explode BOM" checkmarked. b.) Checks to see if there is a valid Assembly List for explosion. c.) If both requirements are met, call the CurrForm.SalesLines.FORM.ExplodeBOM function.
    Hope this helps.

    We've just released a solution "Product Extension" for this. 8) On the form it uses the same functionallity as the extended text and the exploded lines are still connected to the main line. So a change to quantity, ship, etc. modifies the exploded lines too.

    It becomes problematic when using different locations (main item is in location A, with there own warehouse and sub lines don't have a location). For this you need to modify codeunit 80/90 also while ship/receiving the main item.
