Hi Friends,

can you please tell step by step, how to configure MULTIPLE BILLS OF MATERIAL.

Thanks and have a nice time,

Hi

As we all know, Computer is the combination of " Monitor,CPU,keyboard,Mouse"

Here CPU consists, Harddisk,MotherBoard,Processor,Ram etc..,

Computer is the Mainitem

Monitor,CPU,keyboard,Mouse are all subitems for Mainitem.

Subitem CPU again contains,Items.

This kind of material is known as Multi BoM,

Simply, BoM with in the BoM is Multi BoM.

If you want config this into SAP,

first u need create Computer as Main Item-(item car group- ERLA,if u want to give price on material Level).

Create Monitor,CPU,keyboard,Mouse,Harddisk,MotherBoard,Processor,Ram

as subitems( Item cat group- NORM,but for CPU Item cat group- ERLA)

Now Create BoM, CS01- Computer Include Monitor,CPU,keyboard,Mouse as subitems,

again create BoM,CS01- CPU include Mouse,Harddisk,MotherBoard,Processor,Ram as subitems for CPU mainitem.

In Config: of Item Catergory VOV7 Change the Structure scope from "A - explode single level BoM" to "B - Explode Multi Level BoM" for Item Cat: TAQ & TAP.

Create Sales order for Mainitem Computer:

all the items will be displayed as subitems incluse Mouse,Harddisk,MotherBoard,Processor,Ram.

multi level BOM refers to exploding the BOM in a single order at different levels,

for this the crux lies in the item category determination only.

for single level BOM determination at the componenet level: ( item level)

or lumf tap

or lumf tap tan

multi level bom:

or lumf tap

or lumf tap tan tap(manual item cat) or

or lumf tap

or lumf tap tap

maintain BOM structure in CS01.

ex: if in the case of item level

main item X is entered then sub items 1,2,3 appears, then if u want to further

explode sub item 2 to 5,6. (maintain the structure also in CS01)then configure at the item category determiantion level as mentioned above

Vishal,

Sales BOM Implementation

A bill of material (BOM) describes the different components that together create a product. A BOM for a bicycle, for example, consists of all the parts that make up the bicycle: the frame, the saddle, wheels, and so on.

Process Flow

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:

- Main item level if the material is assembled, or

- 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. The following graphic shows how a bill of material is processed at main item level.

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.

Hi,

1.From the bills of material menu, choose Material BOM > Create.

You see the Create material BOM initial screen.

2.In the Material field, enter the material for which you want to create an alternative

3.In the Plant field, enter the plant in which you want the multiple BOM to be valid.

Please note that the BOM for which you want to create an alternative must exist in the plant you enter here.

4.Enter the Usage.

5.In the Alternative field, you identify the BOM within the BOM group.

– If you want to assign a name to the alternative, enter an alphanumeric character string in the Alternative field.

– If you want the system to automatically assign a name to the alternative, do not make an entry in this field. The system automatically determines the next available alternative (numeric sequence).

6.Enter your validity data.

7.If you want to check your data, choose Check entries.

If your data is correct, you can copy data from an existing BOM

Hope this will help you. Reward suitable points

Regards
