[Former Member]

Hello,

I am working on BOM.

Please help me in steps required for creating a bill of material.

Thanks

You have not mentioned any details about your BOM product.

BOM is a collection of materials that make up a product. BOM constitutes header item or main item and sub items.

Without information from your side, it is not possible to help you.

Hi,

Sorry about that.

I am giving technical material names for the products.

Main item is B0054

Sub items are S0001; S0002; S0003

As per the requirement when material B0054 (1 quantity) is sold, it also includes 1 quantity of S0001; S0002; S0003.

Thanks

Go to transaction CS01,

enter material as B0054; enter your plant information; assign BOM usage as 5- sales and distribution.

enter the valid from date and click enter

In lCt select L, enter your sub item S0001and qty as 1.

similarly do for other items and save your BOM.

Hi Kamesh,

I created sales order but I don't see any sub-items in the sales order. Only the main item is listed.

What went wrong? could you advise?

Thanks

The sub items are not exploding in sales order and it could be for many reasons.

But first check item category groups in material master record.

Item category group should be

• ERLA for material B0054

• NORM for materials S0001; S0002; S0003.

In case item category groups are different, change them accordingly and recreate your sales order.

I checked and noticed even main item had NORM as item category.

I changed it to ERLA and now in sales order even sub items are getting listed.

I have following question - why pricing is not determined for sub items. I notice all sub items have zero value. pricing is carried out only for main item.

You could check in your sales order that system would have determined item categories as TAQ for main item and TAE for sub items.

They were determined as per Item category assignment in IMG

Item category TAQ is relevant for pricing whereas TAE is not relevant for pricing.

Pricing can happen either at Main item level or Sub item level.

In your case, item category group is ERLA and hence pricing will happen at main item only.
