Hi Shabnum,

For ex:

main material is 101(material No)

Subitems for 101 are: 102,103, 104 & 105

102 also has 2 two sub items i.e., 106 & 107

I created material masters for all the items i.e., 101 to 107 and posted stocks and maintained prices individually in VK11.

I created BOM in CS01 seperately for 101 & 102

I changed the Item Category Group for both the main items 101 & 102 from NORM to ERLA and tried creating the Sales Order.

For 101 BOM is exploding correctly in order but for 102 it is not exploding.

If I enter both the materials 101 & 102 as 2 line items then BOM is exploding for both the materials.

Then do the Config in :

Pls check the Item category configuration for your header material for the following field:

Structure Scope: whether it is A or B...A is for explode single level & B is for explode multi-level bill of material. In your case, it should be maintained as "B"

This would work for you

Reward if it helps

Hi,

You need make sure that the header item's item category contrlos the field structure scope has a value ' B '.

SAP will however issue a warning that a multilevel BOM is not exploded. There is even an OSS note on that. You can perhaps suppress the warning by entering it in SMME.

If you need to explode BOM in the code - use FM like CS_BOM_EXPL_MAT_V2.

hi.,

For multi level BOM for ERLA

orerlanil+nil=taq

orerlanil+taq=taq

ornormnil+taq=tae

ornormnil+tae=tae

And in item category TAQ structure scope is B and application is SD01

For multi level BOM in LUMF

orlumfnil+nil=tap

orlumfnil+tap=tap

ornormnil+tap=tan

ornormnil+tan=tan

And in item category of TAP structure scope is B and application is SD01

Hi,

If a material is combination of several items, when once it gets exploded in order it is called bom.

If again the items are made of sub items, when once we enter the main product the material gets exploded into items and subitems.

This is nothing but multi level bom

You have to set the structure scope field in item category to trigger multi level bom.

We have the stucture scope to A if we want single level bom

B multi level bom
