Explode BOM Lines

In Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations a bill of materials (BOM) explosion answers the question: What is the product made of? BOM explosion refers to the extensive list of raw materials or components that are required to produce a product. It is used in various situations, for example when designing, manufacturing or repairing a product it is necessary to know from which materials or components the product consists of.

In the Sana webshop, customers have always been able to see BOM components on the product details pages. But when they created sales orders with BOM items, they were added to the sales orders as finished products without their components.

Now we support BOM explosion. This means that when a customer adds the BOM item to the shopping cart, Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations can identify that the added product is the BOM item with components and automatically “explode” it. So, the customer will see all BOM components and their prices in the shopping cart instead of the finished BOM item. The same will be in the sales order in Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations.

A webshop administrator has a choice whether to explode BOM items or not.
