BOM Item Category (urgent)

[Former Member]

HI SAP Gurus,

We have an issue in BOM.

At first we cannot explode our BOM. The main item is in Item Category of NORM. So what we did is to change the Item Category group to ERLA. As I understand, If we use ERLA, the price will be in the Main Item and the component has no price.

1. Is this set up in CS01 is possible/correct?

Main Item 123

components as:

Item 10 material 123

Item 20 material 456

Item 30 material 789.

2. Our configuration in Customizing: Assignmet of Item Category as:

Sales Doc type Item Cate Grp High Level Default Item Cat

OR ERLA TAP

OR ERLA TAP TAN

With this config, I tried/tested sales order creation and the result becomes:

Item 10 material 123 TAP

Item 20 material 123 TAN

Item 30 material 456 TAQ

Item 40 material 789 TAQ

Item 10 and 20 has a price which should not be since the only acceptable item to have a price is on Item 10 (main item) only. Also, Items 10, 30 and 40 keeps on asking for weight but item 20 already has. I checked in material master, and the weights were maintained correctly.

3. I also tried to change the config to:

Sales Doc type Item Cate Grp High Level Default Item Cat

OR ERLA TAP

OR ER TAP TAQ

The Item 20 of sales order has now Item Cat of TAQ. However, it still asks for weight for 10, 30 and 40. But is now asking for price in Item 20 (w/c for me is correct).

Now the problem is in Delivery. The Pick Quantity column for Item 10 is disabled.

I really need help on this one. Immediate response is highly appreciated. Points will be rewarded.

Thank you so much for the help and taking time to read my questions/issues.

HI Erza29,

BOM can be done in 2 ways

ERLA -(Above structure material)

--IItem category group Header item is TAQ

--Item category group Sub item is TAE

LUMF -(Below Structure Material)

--Item category group Header item is TAP

--Item category group Sub item is TAN

--Do the assignment of Item Category in VOV4 as follow

Sales Doc typeItem Category Group Default Item Category

OR+ ERLA+ TAQ

Sales Doc typeItem Category Group High Level + Default Item Category

ORERLATAQ+TAE

--Go to MM02 in sales organization2 tab you have to change the item category group as ERLA & save it.

--Go to T.Code CS01

Main Item 123

components as:

Item 10 material --123

Item 20 material --456

Item 30 material 789.

--Go to T.Code VK11 & enter the condition type

--Here the sub item prices should be equal to the main item price.

Main Item 123---1000-Price

Item 10 material 123300 Price

Item 20 material 456400 Price

Item 30 material 789--300 Price

--Raise the sale order in VA01 & enter the main item material & qty

--Click on item overview here you can see the sub items with the main item & you can see the price & weight only for the main item not for the sub items.

--Item category will be TAQ for main item & Sub item is TAE

--In ERLA concept we do pricing & delivery only for the header item only.

--IN LUMF it is Vice Versa.

Let me know if your problem is solved

Hi Pradeep,

Thanks so much. This really solve my problem. The issue left is that i still have incompletion log: asking for gross weight & net weight for the sub items. I already remove the tick from wght vol relevant in sub item item category. But it still asks for net weight & gross weight. I tried removing the tick in warning from this path: logistix execution-shipping- incompletion control for deliveries-define incompleteness procedure. But still when i create an SO, still asks for those. The question is, what would be the correct status when warning is not ticked?

Go to T.Code VUA2 and select your sales document type

--Un check the IC dialog for your sales document OR & save it.

--Raise the sale order in VA01 & see the result.

Hi Pradeep,

In VUA2, doc type OR and other doc types do not have tick in IC-dialog.

Hi Pradeep,

In VOV8,it's already unchecked. Anyway, i have found the solution for this incompletion log. I remove these fiels in the define incompletion procedure in the config.

Thanks so much for your help Pradeep. Reward points will be given to you .
