My requirement is " I want to create Sales BOM just for printing purpose" and do not want its any affect on system. What setting should i follow so that it do not affect my existing system. I created sales bom and mark it Inactive but i am not able to explode for printing.Any setting with which it will not affect the existing system. As per my knowledge if item categorey is not relevant to sales BOM then it will not affect any entry in SAP. Plz suggest.
