APO BOMs

[Former Member]

Hi,

When a ECC BOM in which not all components are planned in APO and thus these components are not sent at products to APO, is sent over to APO would these non APO relevant components also get transferred ? Would the APO BOM be smaller than the ECC BOM in terms of the number of components ?

Thanks

Hi GS,

If a product which is not maintained in APO is available in

the BOM which inturn has been sent to APO, the BoM

will get transferred as PPM. The PPM will not carry the

non-APO component.

In such case, the APO bom component numbers will be

smaller than that of ECC bom component numbers.

But generally, it is not advisable to carry over such

scenarios which will leads to lots of inconsistencies

in the system

but in a BOM wouldnt there always be some non critical components which do not need to be planned in APO but just in ECC ? In that case isnt the inconsistency expected ?

In APO, only critical components needs to be handled. In ECC, if we have

non-critical components which are not in APO, still you can very well plan

in APO.

The recommended practice is that to have such ratio to very minimum to

avoid some challenges during ciffing and to monitor queues and

inconsistencies.

If the business requirement is like that, you can very well goahead and plan

it accordingly.

Hi ,

Adding to reply above as below:

If an item from one level below BOM level is planned in APO, it is recommended that all items in the above level to be planned in APO ( provided these are relevant to production).

Hi ,

Technically all BOM items relevant to production are taken into account when transferring to CIF, provided these are also relevant to APO ( i.e. items for which integration model exists and is active , will be part of the PPM in APO.)
