CN33 BOM transfer

[Former Member]

We transfer BOM to Builder. When in the Builder we enter some figures in the SORTF field of the Component. (drawing no). Then we change the BOM and want to transfer it again using CN33. SAP regard all items where we have entered values in this SORTF field as manually entered materials and import these items again into the Builder.

Can anyboddy explain why and where these settings can be found.

Some how SAP regard certain field as part of the unique key - and in our case SORTF is one of these

go to SPRO

PS -> Materials -> Bill of Material Transfer -> Define Fields in BOM and activity as ref points

Field name for the reference field in the BOM item

Field in a bill of material that you want to link to a field in a network. The field in the bill of material becomes the reference point

You use the reference point to create a link between a network activity and a bill of material item so that changes in the bill of material automatically effect:

Compoments that are assigned to the network activity

Purchase requisitions for the component if present

Procedure

If you do not know the name of a field, use the F1 help in the maintenance transaction for the bill of material or network. You will find the field name in Technical info.

You can also use transaction SE12 to display the data structure of the objects

STPOX: BOM item

AFVGD: Network activity

and consequently to identify fields in both objects that have the same structure (type/length).

It is also possible to use customer enhancements to create your own fields in the network activity and the BOM item. For more information,

refer to Customizing for PS and PP.

Example

Object Data field Technical name

BOM item Sort field SORTF

Network activity Third user field USR02

These fields are both alphnumeric fields with a length of 10 characters.

Notes

These are generally only defined once. They usually do not have to be changed afterwards.
