The usage of CS40

[Former Member]

Hi All:

I am wondering what is the usage of CS40? Can anyone explain it generally. Thanks

Hi,

In Variant Configuration, Super BOM is mother of all BOMS that are possible for Material Variants.

SO by CS40 we can link Material variant to Super BOM by which Material variant draws only components that are required as per the Charecteristics selected.

So, there is no need of creating seperate BOM, Super BOM will take care.

Hi,

CS40 is used to crate link of BOM with configurable material. CS40 is used in variant configuration.

Normaly here configurable material is having the BOM (super BOM). We create planning materials or material variants as per our requirement.

But we can not create seperate BOM for these planning materials or material variants.

So we need to link the configurable material BOM to these planning materials or material variants.

Then only in MRP BOM will be explode while planiing of planning materials or material variants.

Hope this will help you.

hi

To do a requirements explosion for a configured material, you must maintain the data in the material master record and link a BOM to the configured material.

If the material of the material variant is the same as the configurable material, the link is already there.

You can either create a BOM especially for the configured material (perhaps using the copy from function) or allocate the configured material to the BOM for the configurable product. The second option is the more common solution.

If you allocate the configured material to the BOM for the configurable product, the BOM for the configurable product is interpreted and exploded according to the characteristic values assigned. The interpretation includes the processing of selection conditions and the setting of field values in BOM items according to the relevant actions.

Allocating a Configured Material to a BOM

To allocate the configured material to the BOM of the configurable product, proceed as follows:

From the bills of material menu, choose Bills of material ® Material BOM ® Alloc. config. mat. ® Create.

Enter the name of your configured material in the Material field.

You see a screen on which your configured material is shown as the first allocation. Select the allocation and choose the All allocs for BOM function to see all the materials allocated to this BOM.

Save your allocation.
