Hi Senthil,

Thanks again for your reply. I was trying to CIF sales BOM in APO but only the header material are being created in APO. The component are not added in PDS. This is how I create it in SAP R/3:

1. transaction cs01 --> enter header material, plant and BOM USAGE =5

2. inside cs01, i entered components, quantity for each components and ITEM category = L (stock item)

i also eneterd base quantity for header material

3. create production version for header material with routing and this BOM

4. create and activate material CIF model for header and components

5. create and activate PDS CIF model for header and components.

After doing all these steps, PDS is created in APO but I only have the header material (no components)

I tried changing BOM to other bom usage and components were populated in PDS.

Am i missing nay steps? Thanks.

HI Mylene,

I am also facing the same issue. I need to transfer only sales BOMs to APO..

I could able to send sales BOM(usage 5) to APO as SNP PDS but only with parent material. Child items are missing.

Where as when i tried to CIF production BOM(usage 1), it created PDS with both parent and child items.

SAP says, BOMs can be ciffed to APO as PDS, production versions are not required. but unfortunately it has not mentioned the kind of BOM. May be by default it is production BOM only i think.

In case you have any work around on how to send Sales BOMs (with out production version)to APO as SNP PDS, please share.

Infact we can not create production version for sales BOM..right..

Hi Mylene,

The Sales bom as DP Bom gets generated and transferred to APO

to cover the requirements of its compoenents

As and when a sales order is entered in to the system, the demand

for finished product alongwith the components got transferred to SNP

for planning.

The output includes dependent demand requirements for the finished goods.

In SNP, we can notice scheduled planned distribution receipts for the components

Hi Senthil,

SO for example, in transaction cs01, you define a sales bom (bom usage =5) with:

header material = A base quantity = 1000

component material = B quantity = 1000

So there is like 1:1 proportion for the header and component material.

When a sales order is created in A, will that sales order appear in B instead in APO planning. So that APO will plan for B instead of A?

Thanks,

Hi Senthil,

Thanks for your reply. I am actually asking about how sales bom is considered on APO SNP planning run. What will happen to the sales order of materials defined in sales bom?

And how do we transfer sales bom to APO?

Dear Senthil,

Link given by you does not speak about sales BOM.

Question is about ciffing sales BOM as SNP PDS.
