BOM item increment

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

We have BOMs which contain more than 1000 items.

Unluckily, SAP provides only 4 digits to number the item, and the default item increment is set by SAP equal to 10.

I only found the possibility to change the increment  for a user (transaction OS29) or for a type order (transaction VOV8)...while I'd like to be able to change the increment for a plant or a company.

Do you know how to change the item increment for a plant ?

Thanks !

Hi Pippa,

changing the BOM item number is not possible.

In OS29 however you can define 0001 for Item increment for the DUMMY user. Then it means that all users will use this increment and you can have 9999 items.

You can also use the Item ID in the BOM to identify the BOM items. It has length 8 and unique.

Hope this helps.

Best regards
