Submitting the Pre-Explode Configurable Bills of Material

Process
Trigger:

Concept
You can use the Pre-Explode Configurable Bills of Material process to show all available options
in a bill of material during order entry.

Following is an example of a situation when such a process would be useful in a business

scenario:

A sales person enters sales orders for computers. Each computer has a large number of options
available. The order entry page lists all of the option classes, such as monitor, CPU, and
keyboard, but does not list all of the options within an option class until the sales person selects
the option class. The sales person must wait while the options (such as standard, ergonomic, and
wireless for the keyboard option class) are retrieved before selecting one of them. In order to
eliminate this lag time (the time taken for options to load), run the Pre-Explode Configurable
Bills of Material process on a nightly basis. This process explodes all the options so they are
viewable in the order entry page without selecting an option class first.

In this process, you will submit the pre-explode configurable bills of material process.
