BOM Group and Group BOM

[Former Member]

Hello,

what is BOM Group and Group BOM and how we create them in SAP?

Hi

BOM Group: It is collection of bill of materials which enable you to describe a product or similar products

Eg: All variants of a variant BOM and all alternatives of a multiple BOM is an example of BOM Group

Group BOM: It is a BOM wherein u do not assign any plant while its creation. This means this BOM can be later assigned to any plants as per requirement.....There is no specific plant assigned while making it

BOM Group

Group BOM

Thanks

hi

bom group :

this gives you an additional way of accessing the BOM. The system stores the following under a BOM group:

all the alternatives in a multiple BOM

all the BOMs entered for a variant BOM

hi,

All the alternatives and variants are stored under the BOM group

and

A bom WITHOUT A PLANT IS CALLED GROUP BOM.

Group BOM:

If you create a material BOM without reference to a plant, the BOM is valid throughout your company. To do this, you leave the Plant field blank. The system checks whether material masters exist. There are no system checks for plant data.

However, you can also create a group BOM, without reference to a plant. For example, a designer maintains a group BOM during the design phase of a product, then the BOM is allocated to one or more plants for production purposes.

Revert back if any doubts
