BOM not exploding in subcontracting PO

When the Purchase Order creation does not process any bill of materials subcomponents, in particular in case of subcontracting purchase order creation, the screen processing components: collective entry ends up empty.

This is due to the fact that the BOM, or bill of material, could not be processed correctly according to the purchase order requirements.

In the Purchase Order details, by selecting the subcomponent material, find the explode BOM option in the bottom of the screen.

There, it is visible that the BOM is not exploded at all, and that no component can be found from this bill of material.

Have a look at the release date and delivery dates, which are the key here in the BOM explosion, as it is the reason why the BOM cannot be exploded, no subcomponents can be ready by this date.
