BOM

[Former Member]

Hai,

1. In which we use main item level BOM and In which situation we use subitem level BOM and Multi level BOM? If we are using with ERLA shall we maintain the stocks for subitems?

2. In Multi Level BOM , I had the materials A is main item and it has sub items, B and C . For Multi level BOM I had maintained sub itmes D and E for C. But for me Multi Lvel Bom Is explodidng regrdless of me maintainning ERLA with the material C?

3. Please let me know the configuartion settings in VOV4 for multilevel BOM?

Regards,

Hi Kedar,

if buy a PC(Non-Branded), billing will be done for each item which is knows subitem level pricing.

if itz Branded PC-billing will be for total PC-is main item level pricing.

Config:

i)- if itz for Branded PC- ( Main item level pricing)

u should create PC as main material with Item cat group-ERLA

Monitor,Mouse,key-as subitems with item cat group-NORM

CPU- Subitem consists of componenets ,so create CPU - as mainitem with item cat group-ERLA

Now Create components,like

RAM,

HDD

Mother BOard

Processor----

---

all components with item cat group-NORM

create BoM- CS01

a)- PC as mainitem ,

include Monitor,Mouse,key & CPU as subitems with respecitve qtty.

b)-Create BoM-CS01- CPU as mainitem

include

RAM,

HDD

Mother BOard

Processor -

---

as subitems with respecitve qtty.

maintain item cat determination:

OR+ERLA=TAQ----

---

Rel for delievery/pricing/billing & strucure scope should be-B- Explode multilevel BoM.

ORNORMTAQ=TAE---Not rel for billig/pricing & only delivery allowed without AC.

maintain the condition record for mainitem VK11-PC only.

stock will be reduced from main item from the inventory only .

maintain the stock for main item only

Similarly ,

in Non Branded PC's ,its Subitem level pricing

small changes, main item -item cat gruop will be LUMF.

like

PC(Non Branded)- LUMF

subitems -NORM

CPU-LUMF

OR+LUMF=TAP (rel for billing/del-to confirm the order qtty,as it has the control in structure scope-B-explode multi level Bom)

ORNORMTAP=TAN( rel for billing/pricing/del)

maintain the condition record for mainitem VK11-for all subitems.

stock will be reduced from sub item from the inventory only .

stock should maintain for all subitems

Hope this clears,if any let me know

1.See the basic idea of BOM which u should be clear about is in BOM every item has to be maintained. We use ERLA item category, when we just want prcing, inventory control and delivery to be effective at main item level. For eg. in a computer which has already been assembled with a cpu, keyboard and a hard dsk.

2.I didnt understand whats ur question regarding multi level BOM.

3.You need not assign , cos if you copy standard order OR to the new sales document type its already assigned.usually for,

ERLA the default Item category is TAQ

LUMF the default item category is TAP

please reward points if helpful

Hi Kedar,

Process Flow for BOM

When you enter the material number of a bill of materials that is relevant for sales order processing, the system displays the material that describes the whole bill of materials as a main item. The individual components are displayed as lower-level items.

There are two ways to process a bill of materials in Sales. Once you have entered a bill of material in a sales order, the system runs pricing, inventory control, and delivery processing at:

1. Main item level if the material is assembled, or

2. Component level if the material is not assembled

The type of processing used by the system is determined by the item category group that you enter in the material master record for relevant materials.

Processing at Main Item Level

If you want the system to carry out pricing, inventory control, and delivery processing at main item level, enter ERLA in the Item category group field of the Sales: sales org. 2 screen in the material master record of the finished product. This means that the components only function as text items and are not relevant for delivery

Processing at Component Level

If you want the system to carry out pricing, inventory control, and delivery processing at the component level, enter LUMF in the Item category group field of the Sales: sales org. 2 screen in the material master record of the finished product. In this case, only the components are relevant for delivery. During processing the system automatically creates a delivery group. The latest delivery date among all the components becomes the delivery date for the entire delivery group.

Hope this provides you some clarity. Reward points if helpful.

Hi,

The basics is

HIGHER LEVEL PRICING.

OR+ERLA----TAQ ( REL: FOR PRICING)

ORNORMTAQ----TAE.

LOWER LEVEL PRICING.

OR+LUMF-----TAP

ORNORMTAP----TAN.(REL: FOR PRICING)

HI Kedar,

In BoM, LUMF will be maitained to price the mateial at Item level.

where as to upload these sub items ,main item's item category is fine tuned with structure scope-A.

Price will be at item level, under main item.

where as Billing will be done @ Main item level.

To make the item relevant for delivery in main item schedule line cat -CT, is just to confirm the order quantity without availability check at main item level.

But make sure that this check will be done only at sub item level

When using the item category ERLA somethings has to be kept in mind

Creation of BOM is same.

But you need to maitain the pricing condition record for the header item.

The item categories in this case would be

Header item : TAQ

Sub item TAE;

Where the header item is relevant for pricing and delivery. and subitems are not relevant for neither the pricing nor the delivery.

Hope you got some idea.

Anyway feel free to ask any doubts to make it clear..
