BOM copy control issue from KB to KE

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Am trying to create KE order with reference to KB order, all the materials are getting copied to KE but am getting a log saying

Item 000020 is a component of a bill of material so cannot be copied.

Can someone please suggest me what to change? Am using standard TAP item category which is also added in the copy control from KB to KE.

The standard consignment process is KB > LF > F8 > KE> LF > F2.  This being the case, is there any specific reason to create KE with reference to KB?

Hi Sir,

I have one more point to add hea, if you can help me, when i create an KE order wrt KB order for BOM materials, the items are getting copied, but the log is collecting which says the sub items cannot be copied as it is a part of BOM

Hi,

Please re-check your materials in KB document.

If KB document has a Bill of Material, then you have to choose check box for re-exploding structure in copy control settings of KB > KE for relevant item category. Also choose A or B option in the configuration field on the same screen.

Hi Karuna,

You mean re-exploding check for both the main item and sub item? In  my case it is checked for both the items, and as you suggested i did change the configuration tab to B and created KE order.But still it was giving the same error.Kindly suggest me some other

Hi,

Assuming your KB has a bill of material, then you can create referenced KE for main item only. Sub-items will appear after bom explosion in KE document. Pls check and confirm.

Hi,'

When you say, the " Log " for Item 20 are you indicating the Incompletion Log ?

Also, from the description it looks like the Material might be as part of a BOM whereas previously it was not. You might want to check that first in T. Code : CS15.

Could be that the Material was later on added as a BOM Component after the Order KB was created.

Thanks.

Hi Dee,

When i create KE order wrt KB, there is pop up which comes up which asks me to check the log, and its not the incompletion log.

And yes it is the BOM material.

So when u copy a BOM material, according to the copy control settings it should re-explode, and as per the settings it does explodes with that log.

So am not sure still what settings i need to maintain. Please help me.
