Create BOM without generate MRP requirements

Hi,

In SAP, we want to create a BOM that doesn´t generate a MRP requirement. Is this possible? Can we use an "Item category" that makes this possible or can we handle the articles like bulks?

Hello,

You can control this thru the Bulk Indicator. This is maintain in the material master for each components of the BOM or directly at BOM item level.

It is important to also review the configuration of the BOM explosion. Check this customizing:

SPRO --> Production --> Material Requirements Planning --> Planning --> BOM Explosion --> Define BOM Explosion Control

Define BOM Explosion Control


Workstep Plant

In this workstep, you define the following plant-specific parameters:

  • the explosion date for BOM and routing selection
  • whether the planning run is to create dependent requirements for bulk
    material in the appropriate plant
  • whether the planning run is to check whether sales order BOMs exist in the
    corresponding plant

Also read the SAP help:

Define BOM Explosion Control - Material Requirements Planning - SAP Library

Kind Regards,

Mariano

Apart from bulk material you can set a explosion type in BOM item details which is not relevant to planning and also you can have BOM status where planning off indicator selected.

Hello

I think that the easiest way to do that is to mark all the components as bulk materials.
