Hi Kamal,

When you process an object (such as a BOM item) using a particular change number for the first

time, the system generates a new processing status (change status).If your organization does not use parameter effectivity, these changes simply have time-related validity, which means that a change status's validity extends from its valid-from date to immediately before the validfrom date of the change status following.

However, if you do use parameter effectivity, you can also make a change status's validity dependent on other criteria, such as serial number or customer.

Hi Rehman,

is your document "Working with parameter Effectivity" also treating link with sales and the realy planned pieces?

Actually I'm preparing some tests using the standard effectivity type SERNR.

I have generated different BOM "versions" and I'm able to get the good BOM version for each serial number via transaction CS12.

Now, after creating the sales order, running MRP and creating the production order I do not see how the right BOM version is pulled in dependence of the scheduled quantities.

Can any body explain to me how sales, MRP, and production orders are working together with BOMs managed with effectivity parameter SERNR?

hi heijo

I may not be able to give fully satisfactory answer but this may help you in solving the problem

SAP gives two parameter effectivity one as DATE and other as SERIAL NO

apart from choosing parameter effectivity for change on material, you have link these changes with release key then assign them priorties and rank

after which system check the changes on material in following manner and decide the valid change

1) change with release key

2) change with higher priority

3) change with higher rank

after this process system assign change to material

When you are doing change wrt SERNO then system checks only release key and then change with higher rank gets implemented

according your other processes get effected
