Hi DB,
By setting max time, just because of the recursive product it drops the demand for FG which we do not want it to happen. There is a compliance because of which we have to maintain it on the BOM and in practical we use some portion of the output as our input. It way be a weird but we have this process.
We did try in ECC configuring explosion type but it has not CIF to APO. On reading the document for prevent product explosion which is only applicable to CTM we thought to leverage this setting and prevent planning the recursive product. Since this field is non editable we would like to know how to enable for editing.
We also have a process where on the BOM multiple component is maintained. Just before the planning run it will be decided which all of those component will be included on the BOM and the component excluded from BOM.
This is the very reason we want to enable the field "Prevent Product Explosion" on the CTM PDS.
Regards,
Ashu
