Exploding sub assemblies in B/M

I know you can either explode sub-assemblies or not explode sub-assemblies in bill of materials production entry.  However, what I need to have is a choice as to WHICH sub-assemblies are to be exploded.  For example, a bill may have 15 sub-assemblies, all of which need to be exploded EXCEPT 1 or 2 (as they have been produced and placed in stock previously).  Therefore, I want to produce the item and default to explode sub-assemblies, but then DE-SELECT one or two sub-assemblies from exploding.

Seems like I would have run into this before, but if I have, I have forgotten the solution in my old age!!

Any help/ideas would be appreciated!

Thanks.

    That is interesting.  I was just looking at the same issue. We currently explode all items then remove the items that we don't want to explode and add the item back in.  I was hoping to find a better way to do this but so far it doesn't look like there is a better way.  This is in work order though.
