sales bom - quantities change?

[former_member221039]

Dear SD experts,

I would like to understand what item category is to be used for Sales Quotations generated thru va21.

Please note that i am using sales bom created thru cs01 using bom usage 5.

currently I am able to create quotions using item category TAP at BOM level & material item level AGN. but i am not sure whether i can use TAP bcos others use TAQ or TAE.

Please update.

Regards

Srihari

Hi,

You can use either TAP or TAQ/TAE for ur quotation..but u have to maintain the item category determination in VOV4.

It depens upon ur Item category grp which u r maintaining in ur material master as per ur requirement..

Generally LUMF item category grp will come with TAP as main item category and TAN as sub-item category

ERLA item cat.grp with TAQ as Main and TAE as sub-item

Maintain ur copy control sttings also in VTAA for QT to OR... at item level..

Hi,

Sales BOM Implementation

A bill of material (BOM) describes the different components that together create a product. A BOM for a bicycle, for example, consists of all the parts that make up the bicycle: the frame, the saddle, wheels, and so on.

Process Flow

When you enter the material number of a bill of materials that is relevant for sales order processing, the system displays the material that describes the whole bill of materials as a main item. The individual components are displayed as lower-level items.

There are two ways to process a bill of materials in Sales. Once you have entered a bill of material in a sales order, the system runs pricing, inventory control, and delivery processing at:

- Main item level if the material is assembled, or

- Component level if the material is not assembled

The type of processing used by the system is determined by the item category group that you enter in the material master record for relevant materials.

Processing at Main Item Level

If you want the system to carry out pricing, inventory control, and delivery processing at main item level, enter ERLA in the Item category group field of the Sales: sales org. 2 screen in the material master record of the finished product. This means that the components only function as text items and are not relevant for delivery. The following graphic shows how a bill of material is processed at main item level.

Processing at Component Level

If you want the system to carry out pricing, inventory control, and delivery processing at the component level, enter LUMF in the Item category group field of the Sales: sales org. 2 screen in the material master record of the finished product. In this case, only the components are relevant for delivery. During processing the system automatically creates a delivery group. The latest delivery date among all the components becomes the delivery date for the entire delivery group.

A bill of material (BOM) describes the different components that together create a product. A BOM like computer where the header is

computer and the items are cpu, key board, monitore, mouse etc.

for the purpose of pricing it can be done at header level or item level by selecting the item cat group of header level material as either ERLA or LUMF.

Header level

OR + ERLA -- > TAQ (main item- priced)

OR + Norm -- > TAE (sub item- no price)

item level

OR + LUMF -- > TAP (main item- no price)

OR + Norm -- > TAN (sub item- priced)
