How to transfer Sales BOM from ECC to APO DP

[Former Member]

Hi,

Demand planning require Sales BOM from ECC. Sales BOM in ECC will not have Routing & Work center, then how a PPM with Sales BOM can be transferred. If i have to create a dummy routing & WC for those sales BOM it will be tidious job to create all the master data. Is there any way to transfer the BOM alone from ECC to APO.

Please throw some light on it.

Thanks & Regards

Shan,

You can transfer sales BOM alone no need to create dummy routings or work centres.

It will be same as we transfer phantom assemblies.

while generating integration models ,

Depending on the data you require for planning in SAP APO, enter the following information in the Material BOM group box:

PDS Type:

Determines what type of PDS is generated in SAP APO. You can implement BAdIs that can be applied to the generation.

Usage

Determines which data is transferred.

The relevant PDS is generated in SAP APO based on the information provided in the Production Data Structure group box.

Check and revert back.

Hi,

We are using PPM & not PDS so i wouldl ike to know how to transfer the Sales BOM from ECC to APO PPM without creating Dummy Routing and WC.

In CFM1 (Create Integration Model) you can create an Integration Model to send Sales BOMs to APO by just selecting BOM in object selection. When you select BOM pushbutton you have an option to send the BOMs to APO as SNP or PPDS PDS. You might like to send them as SNP PDS (assuming you do not have regular PDS/PPMs in SNP) and then pick them to convert to DP BOMs in APO.

In the usage selection enter your Sales BOM Type.

This should do the trick of CIFing Sales BOM without creation of Production Version.

Hi,

I checked the integration model by selecting the BOM. I am only able to CIF as PDS type either SNP or PPDS. But here my scenario is different i want to transfer as PPM sales BOM not the PDS.

Kindly let me know if you have any way to do it.

Hi Somnath / Ritesh,

Are you sure about ciffing Sales BOM(usage 5)to APO as PDS ? Did you test it or your comments are based on SAP documentation?

I tried to CIF Sales BOM as SNP PDS, it is creating PDS with only parent item.Child items are missing.I have not used any production version here.

If i use production BOM(usage 1), it is creating PDS with both parent and child items.I have not used any production version here also.

SAP says BOMs can be ciffed to APO as PDS. No productions versions are required. but it has not mentioned about BOM's usage. May be , Is it by default production BOM?

One more question, Is it possible to create production version with BOM usage 5? It has no meaning right..

I think system does not allow you to create production version with BOM usage 5.

I also tried with BOM usage 2. In this case also it behaves like sales BOM.

looks like only production BOM can be ciffed with proper BOM structure in APO.

if required i can send you the link to share screen shots.

Pls comment..

A small point - I hope the component materials are not having SDP relevance as 1, meaning that the component is not relevant for SNP.

Hello Umamahesh,

were you finally able to send Sales BOMs into APO ? I am facing the same problem.

Hi Shan,

Your requirement is handled through scenario of forecasting

with bill of materials.

Here you may have to create a DP BOM (you can either

use PDS or PPM to meet your objective). Based on this

DP PDS or DP PPM will get generated which can be used up

for planning.
