Hi Srinivas,

Please also check the BOM is Activated in Header Doc in CS01.

Please check the Item category Determintion.

Also check your BOM Record once again.

As earlier response has already explained the process flow of BOM ( you might want to chk on that. couple of reasons which I have encountered for BOM not exploding is

If your condition record is not maintained for Sales and distribution.

If structure scope is not check in document type configuration.

Reward if it helps.

Hi Srinivas

Check item category.

For my knowledge BOM will explode in delivery. But Picking will be done for main item. If u have maintained

main item ERLA in Material Master.

The Material Ordered, Delivered and Billed consists of one or Several Components.

These components are called as Bill Of Materials

The Material Ordered by the Customer is referred as Main Item or Higher Level item. The Components are referred as Sub-items.

When we enter the Main-item in the Sales documents, the Components are automatically determined and this is called as expansion of Bill Of Materials.

In SD, we treat the processing of Boms in two ways.

Processing at Main-item.

Processing at the Sub-item

The Processing in both cases is controlled by the Item Categories and Schedule line Categories.

Step: 1

Prepare the Martial Master for all the Materials, which is main-item and Sub-item.

In the Material Master, the Item Category group of the Main-item is important.

We need to Maintain the item category group for the Main-items and sub-items as follows.

Scenario Main-Item Sub-Item

Processing at ERLA NORM

Main-item level

Processing at LUMF NORM

Sub-items

Item Category TAQ TAE

Schedule line CP CT

Category

Step: 2

Let us take Computer as a Bom. It has Varies parts like Mouse, keyboard, Motherboard, Ram, CPU.

Let us take Computer has the main-item, and sub-item as the rest.

Prepare Material Master. We have to Prepare Material Master for Main-item and Sub-items.

T-Code: MM01

First Prepare for Computer which is the Main-item.

In Sales: General/Plant. Maintain ERLA in the Item Category Group

Then Create and Save the Material Master

Step: 3

Create Material Master for the Sub-item. That is for Keyboard, Mouse,

Motherboard, Ram & CPU.

In Sales: General/Plant. Maintain NORM in the Item Category Group

Maintain NORM in Item Category Group

Step: 4

Create Material Bom.

T-Code: CS01

Enter the Details

Then Continue.

Step: 4A

Enter the details

All the Sub-item added in the Material

Then SAVE

Step: 5

Create Condition Record.

T-Code: VK11

Maintain Pricing for only the Main-item.

Maintain Pricing only for Main-item.

Then SAVE

Step: 6

Create Sales Order

T-Code: VA01

Enter only the Main-item.

Step: 7

The Bom Explodes with the Sub-item.

And pricing is only for Main-item (Computer) and not for Sub-item.

Bom Explodes with the Sub-item.

Pricing is done only for the Main-item.

Then SAVE

Step: 8

Create Delivery

T-Code: VL01N

Picking is happening only for the Main-item and not the sub-item

Then SAVE

Check the above things. Whether u have maintained.

Reward if useful to u
