BOM mapping

[Former Member]

Hi,

I was told by ME Community the sequence to send the Master data to ME is Send BOM, Routing and then Material to automatically mapping done in ME but I have to do this manually every time. Is there something else I need to configure in ME for auto mapping.

Thanks,

Raveen

I think you can send production order message from ERP to ME. It includes all information (order, bom, routing, materials). I guess you ERP guys should know hot to create it.

Hi Konstantin,

Thanks for the reply , I am actually referring to the Material Maintenance activity where I am trying to find how the BOM and Routing can be mapped once I transfer them from ERP.

Do you mean that when you send material with all the info(bom, routing) - it is not mapped in ME? In this case check XML that is sent from MII if it actually contains that data. If it's not mapped, then I would assume that ERP doesn't send it in material message.

Hello Konstantin,

This is the DATA Sequence I sent from ERP to ME.

BOM

ROUTING

MATERIAL

I expected the Material, BOM and Routing will map to each other after doing this but this is not the case, I have to map them manually.

Thanks,

Hi,

They should if you material idoc message contains BOM and router. If they are not mapped in ME I would check material IDOC that is sent from ERP to MII if it contains BOM/router names.

Hi Konstantin,

Ya I did only sent the Material as I sent the BOM and Routing before it, so should I send the BOM, ROUTING and MATERIAL including BOM and Routing again ( Please correct me ).

Thanks,

Hi Raveen,

Yes, BOM and router should be already imported, but MATMAS itself must contain tags with those BOM and router names implying that material is linked to BOM/router in ERP.

Thanks Konstantin,

I just wanted to add something more what I tried. ..In Transaction POIM when I choose the parameters for Plant Material and I am also selecting "BOM for Material above" option and after selecting the optimization systems when I execute it ,i can see only Material Idoc generated in MII Queue monitorand I dont see the BOM information in IDOC and for BOM I see an error " Plant not supported".....so can you please guide me how to send material including BOM and Routing details. I even tried transaction BD10 and tried selecting Send material full but no luck.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Raveen

Raveen,

I've just got a feedback from out ERP expert:

"The answer to the question is that ME does not support sending all master data from POIM, especially BOMs, because different idocs are required. From BD10, the simple BOM is transferred and this is the only type of BOM that Me supports. From POIM, a multiple BOM is supported (and transferred with LOIBOM iDoc), which ME does not support. Raveen must use the separate transactions to send BOM data and material data."

Therefore, try sending BOMs from BD10. Hope this helps.

Hi Konstantin,

Thanks a lot for verifying this for me. I am doing the same so far, to send a Material I am using one transaction POIM and to send the BOM ( Material BOM ) I am using BD30 so after doing this I again come to the same question about Mapping i.e I dont see the mapping between Material and BOM automatically done in Material Miantenance.. I am specifically looking for some guidance how to do this.Are you suggesting to send individual BOM Componenets from BD10?

Thanks a lot for your support

Can you capture in MEINT Queue Monitor and post material import XML that is send from MII to ME?

That's what I thought. It does not have any reference either to BOM or to router. The issue is in incorrect material config in ERP where it is likely not tied to BOM/router. This is not ME issue as there is no directive for ME to associate this material with any BOM/router.

[former_member182330]

It appears that ERP configuration is incorrect. Something is wrong with you material/BOM/router association. I can't tell you how to configure it correctly or what to try as I'm not ERP expert. Your MM admin should know how to do this. In case you do not have one, I guess you try to find someone who will help you or request help from SAP consulting.
