• Key Concepts:
  Exploded bill of material (EBOM) is a feature of SAP xCQM that allows users to view the components of a product in a hierarchical structure. It displays the components of a product in an organized way, showing the relationship between each component and its parent item. This helps users to quickly identify the components of a product and their associated costs.
  
  How to use it:
  To use EBOM, users must first create a product in SAP xCQM. Once the product is created, users can add components to it by selecting the “Add Component” option from the menu. This will open up a window where users can select the components they want to add to the product. Once all the components are added, users can view the EBOM by selecting “View EBOM” from the menu. This will display all the components of the product in an organized hierarchical structure.
  
  Tips & Tricks:
  When creating an EBOM, it is important to ensure that all components are correctly linked to their parent items. This will help ensure that all costs associated with each component are accurately calculated. Additionally, it is important to keep track of any changes made to the EBOM as this could affect the cost of the product.
