Component cannot be equal to product item

[Former Member]

Dear all,

My company have some productions that parent items and component items are the same. But SAP B1 doesn't allow us to do this. This error was thrown when I tried to add this kind of production orders or BOM.

"Component cannot be equal to the production item"

For example, in normal situation, a product "A" have component "B" and "C".

"A" 2 kg = "B" 1 kg + "C" 1 kg

But, sometimes, we have to Blend them some previous batch of "A" like this

"A" 3 kg = "B" 1 kg + "C" 1 kg + "A" 1 kg

and then we got 3 kg of "A" in new batch no.

If B1 cannot have this kind of production orders, Is there any other way to do it.

Thanks

hi,

Create a BOM A1 as parent and A as child.

Create a standard prodn. order for A with childs B,C,A1.

HI Avtar Singh Saini

B1 doesn't allow to add A as a child item after B and C, if A is a parent item (Both in BOM production order). So, what you've suggested is not possible.

HI Jeyakanthan

The production order type are both standard and special. And I got the same error for both type.

I suggest defining one (or more) item for temporary use to represent the item under production.

-First you can make a (probably special type) production order to produce it from its real child items.

- and finally a special type production order to produce the real item.

(If you use such items one at a time in this process, then the cost calculation will be correct too.)

Hi

System is right same item can not be a parent as well as child in single BOM

So there are two solutions

1. Created new item ,A1 like that make a production BOM for that

2. When u add production order on the base of BOM there you can put the parent item in list of child item of production order .

So best is add the item A in Production order with B and C

Waiting for ur reply

[Former Member]

Hi,

For standard recipe create a standard production order based on production BOM where A will be parent item and B, and C will be components.

In situations where parent itself is used in production process, create a special production order where A will be parent along with B,C, and A again as components.

Special production orders are not BOM driven. You are free to add the components as per your requirements.
