BOM gets re-exploded

Hi All,

I am dealing with a variant configuration scenario. The line time in the sales order gets exploded to two sub-items. One of which is a returns item.

The line item gets exploded as it should the first time. The problem is when ever I select the main line item and go to its configuration, the BOM kind of gets re exploded and only the return line item gets added. Every time I go to the configuration the return item gets added to the sales document in multiples of 2(i.e. 1, 2, 4, 8....).

Am I missing something here. Where exactly am I messing around. Any help would be highly appreciated.

Regards,

Chaitanya

For the item which is getting repeated, check if there is a BOM with the same material as component. Also check if recursiveness is allowed in this or the header item BOMs.

One more.

May be the 'repeating material' has free goods functionality turned on. Check that also.

Thanks Chandrasekhar for you replies.

Guess there is one important thing that i need to specify here. Once the BOM explodes, the plants of the sub itmes are being changed to meet the accounting requirement. What I have found is when the plants of the sub items are same, then the re-explosion of the BOM doesn't take place. I guess replacment of the plants of the sub times to be different is causing the error although, don't exactly know how that is causing an issue.

Any thoughts on this are most welcome.

cheers!!
