BOM Bill of Material Structure - Case Study & Technical Analysis

Executive Summary

The BOM Bill of Material Structure report is the blueprint of manufacturing and engineering within Oracle EBS. It provides a hierarchical representation of product structures, detailing every component, sub-assembly, and raw material required to build a finished good. This report is indispensable for production planning, cost estimation, and maintaining accurate product definitions.

Business Challenge

Manufacturing and Engineering teams often struggle with:

Solution

This report offers a flexible, multi-level explosion of the Bill of Materials. It empowers users to:

Technical Architecture

The report utilizes the Oracle BOM explosion logic to traverse the parent-child relationships defined in the database.

Key Tables & Views

| Table Name | Description | | :— | :— | | BOM_BILL_OF_MATERIALS | Stores the header information for a BOM (Assembly Item, Organization). | | BOM_INVENTORY_COMPONENTS | Stores the components (children) for each bill, including quantity and effectivity. | | MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_B | Defines the items (Assemblies and Components) and their attributes. | | BOM_EXPLOSION_TEMP | A temporary table often used by system reports to store the results of the BOM explosion processor. | | BOM_STRUCTURES_B | (R12) The underlying table for BOM headers, replacing some legacy views. |

Core Logic

  1. BOM Explosion: The report logic mimics the “BOM Explosion” process, starting from the top-level Assembly and recursively finding components.
  2. Effectivity Filtering: It applies Effectivity Date and Disable Date filters to ensure only currently active components are listed (unless “All” is requested).
  3. Organization Context: BOMs are organization-specific. The query ensures data is pulled for the correct manufacturing organization.
  4. Item Details: It joins to MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS to retrieve descriptions, item statuses, and units of measure.

FAQ

Q: Can this report show “Phantom” assemblies? A: Yes, the report displays the supply type of components, allowing you to identify Phantoms, Assembly Pull, or Operation Pull items.

Q: Does it support “Alternate” BOMs? A: Yes, the Alternate Selection parameter allows you to choose specific alternates or view the primary BOM.

Q: How many levels deep can it go? A: The Levels to Explode parameter allows you to control the depth, from a single level to a full multi-level explosion.

Q: Does it show component substitutes? A: Yes, there is a parameter Show Substitute Components to include valid substitutes defined for the BOM components.

Oracle E-Business Suite Reporting Library

We provide an open source Oracle EBS SQLs as a part of operational and project implementation support toolkits for rapid Excel reports generation.

Blitz Report™ is based on Oracle EBS forms technology, and hence requires minimal training. There are no data or performance limitations since the output files are created directly from the database without going through intermediate file formats such as XML.

Blitz Report can be used as BI Publisher and Oracle Discoverer replacement tool. Standard Oracle BI Publisher and Discoverer reports can also be imported into Blitz Report for immediate output to Excel. Typically, reports can be created and version tracked within hours instead of days. The concurrent request output automatically opens upon completion without the need for re-formatting.

The Filters, Columns, Rows and Values fields are used to create and deliver the data in pivot table format with full drill down to details.

Blitz Report Pivots

The Excel template upload functionality in Blitz Report allows users to create their own layouts by uploading an Excel template with additional sheets and charts, automatically refreshed when the report runs again. This allows to create custom dashboards and more advanced visualizations of report data.

Blitz Report Dashboard

You can download and use Blitz Report free of charge for your first 30 reports.

The installation and implementation process usually takes less than 1 hour; you can refer to our installation and user guides for specific details.
