Exploding a BOM is to open each item of the BOM to see what are the sub components of each line item.

YOu have to use the FM: CS_BOM_EXPL_MAT_V2 for your requirement.

Search the forum with the FM name to find sample code.

Why don't you speak to your functional consultant and ask them to explain and show you what is meant?

Hello Smriti,

Exploding a BOM means to display all the components and sub-components for a BOM in a particular transaction (eg) VA01,CO01,ME22N etc..

You can use the SAP FM's depend on the Functionality:

CS_BOM_EXPLOSION General BOM explosion

CS_BOM_EXPLOSION_EQUI BOM explosion - initial screen: equipment

CS_BOM_EXPLOSION_MAT BOM explosion (old version); as of 3.0, use CS_BOM_EXPL_MAT_V2

CS_BOM_EXPL_EQU_V2 BOM explosion for equipment

CS_BOM_EXPL_KND_V1 BOM explosion for material

CS_BOM_EXPL_MAT_V2 BOM explosion for material

CS_BOM_EXPL_PSP_V1

CS_BOM_EXPL_TPL_V1 BOM explosion for functional location

CSS7 Explode BOM (Document)

CS_BOM_EXPL_DOC_V1 BOM explosion: document sub-assemblies

CS_BOM_EXPL_GNRL2_V1 General BOM explosion: document sub-assemblies

CSSO

CS_SO_MODE_BOM_EXPLOSION

As per Garet in response to your question better talk to the Functional team to get the better underatanding for your requirement.
