Alternative for WBS BOM

hello
In standard BOM for PP in T-code eg cs01 I can write alternative. But if I want to create WBS BOM with T-code cs71 I can't see such field for alternative. I checked in help.sap.com that alternative for WBS BOM are not used. I don't know why but there is not alternative filed in CS71.
So is there any other way to get alternatives for WBS BOM like modification, exit etc.
I checked SAP notes for this but I can't find.
Any help?

hello
Thank you for your answers.
I have business process where I need WBS alternative. Why? Because of history of changes. My client wants to have 2 versions of one WBS BOM. One for history only and second for operative work. After some changes in WBS BOM and finish the project my client wants to analyse historical version which is created when project starts and the last operative version of the same WBS BOM.
@Uddhab
>If we prepare two BOM for a single WBS and attach the same in the WBS, then 2 requirement will flow and there will additional >quantity in the production.
Yes, if we attach. I want to attach only one WBS BOM so I don't multiply quantity.

Necessity of WBS BOM

Hi Gurus,
I am working on a PP-PS integration scenario. If I have a multilevel Material BOM and the header item is the final product. I had attached this in the network activity with Item category as L. I have not exploded the BOM here. To proceed further with MRP, what i am doing is correct or should I create the WBS BOM as well? If so, what is the necessity of WBS BOM ?
thanks in advance.
Vinodh

Dear Vinvidh_18,
As per as my experiance; if your working with PS - PP Integration; it is a very difficult to map senarios, why because PP and PS has the similiar process or transaction codes.
Here i am suggesting only, Dont go for WBS BOM.( If your working with the PP).
1) Material BOM is the better option.
2) Attach the Finished Goods to the Activity under Network. Or manually Create the FG and RM under Activity (Caution should
be taken care while creation of this, use -1 for FG under the Activity)
3) Dont go for Network Order use the Production Order as a Cost Object (Assaign the WBS in the Production Order)
Remaining Process is normall process like Production Order Confirmation etc.,

If you are in Test System, you can use function module AA_AFABER_DELETE to totally delete the depreciation area (tcode SE37, specify chart of depreciation and depreciation area), After that recreate your depreciation area and run AFBN. But before you do that, have you created a retirement transaction type that limits the posting on your new depreciation area? If not create one.
Hope this helps.

PR( purchase requ) for Alternative material in BOM

Hi PP expert,
I am using alternative material in BOM. As for example my Header BOM material is u2018Yu2019 and his alternative components are X1 and X2
I have done setting in BOM
For -
X1,------
Priority ---1
Strategy - 2 ,100%
Usage prob     100
For -
X2----
Priority -
2
Strategy - -
2 ,100%
Usage prob    -
0
My client want when run the MRP , PR should be generate of material u201CX2u201D ,because there is no X2 stock and Material u201CX1u201D have more stock and want to consume X1 material 1st then X2.
X1 has been blocked for procurement.
Kindly suggest me how will generate PR of X2 when the run MRP. X2 is alternative material..
Regards,
Aqueel

Hi Aqueel!
      As I know, standard SAP cannot solve your problem. Howerver, you can try with these way:
          1/ Try to estimate how long your company will consump all X1(Ex 3 days). Use Alternative BOM 1 for X1, Alternative BOM 2 for X2. And allocate Alt 1 to Production version 1 with valid to 8/10/2010, Alt 2 to production 2 valid from 9/10/2010.
          2/ Change:
          For -
X1,------
          Priority ---2
          Strategy - 2 ,100%
          Usage prob 0
          For -
X2----
          Priority -
1
          Strategy - -
2 ,100%
          Usage prob -
100
And Run MRP, system will take X2 into accout. If you want to savage X1. Need to calculate it and manually change in comonent list of Production order (Now, X2 will consider) with X1 until X1 stock finish.
Hope it can solve you problem(not perfect).

T COde CS15 : Report is not showing the "Alternative BOM No" for some BOMs

Hello Guru,
I am facing a problem for the transaction CS15, when I use this transaction, in the output for some materials, system is not showing "Alternative number" of BOM.
I cheked Deletion indicator, status of the BOM, validity period etc.
But unable to get the reason why system is not showing alternative BOM number for the some materials / BOMs.
Thanks to give your expert comments or solution.
Thanks in advance
Hemant

Hi Hemant,
please check in CS02 if those top level BOm's which dont show alternative BOm number in CS15, do they really have alternatives?
the most probale reaosn why alternative is not shown is they dont have any alternate BOM or they are variant BOMs.
please check.

How can we pick WBS BOM for a Subcontrat order

Hi,
We are using WBS BOM instead of Material BOM for our projects.We also use Subcontract order scenerio.
Where we wnat to pick WBS BOM.
Can any one sujjest how to pick WBS BOM.
Regards,
somiraghu

As per Standard SAP the stock should be unresrticted stock for Subcontracting process.It should not be a special stock.

WBS BOM

Dear Gurus ,
In normal change management situations (while having an open production order), when we make a change to main item BOM or internal phantom, we use a change number with release key which we reflect to production order using COCM.
In WBS BOM, the change is being done by creating a new WBS BOM for phantom (so that we make a modification without changing the original phantom). This change, however is not reflected correctly using COCM. It does not display any procurement elements.
I was only able to reflect the new BOM when i made Read PP master data in production order. Is there a way to affect it using COCM or a simliar method?

Keshav

Dear Gurus,
Please reply.

Search help for user field for WBS element

Hi,
how can I add a search help to one of the user fields for WBS elements without modification? Is there an exit which I can use? I want to have a search help for field PRPS-USR02.
Thanks for your help.

Hi
Create an elementary serach help using the Table USR01 or USR03
see the steps
1) Elementary search helps describe a search path. The elementary search help must define where the data of the hit list should be read from (selection method), how the exchange of values between the screen template and selection method is implemented (interface of the search help) and how the online input help should be defined (online behavior of the search help).
2) Collective search helps combine several elementary search helps. A collective search help thus can offer several alternative search paths.
3)An elementary search help defines the standard flow of an input help.
4) A collective search help combines several elementary search helps. The user can thus choose one of several alternative search paths with a collective search help.
5)A collective search help comprises several elementary search helps. It combines all the search paths that are meaningful for a field.
6)Both elementary search helps and other search helps can be included in a collective search help. If other collective search helps are contained in a collective search help, they are expanded to the level of the elementary search helps when the input help is called.
CREATION:
Go to SE11 Tcode
select search help
give the 'z' search help name and create
select the selection method ur table name eg : 'mara'
dialog module 'display value immediately'.
add the field whatever u want and lpos = 1 and spos = 1 and check import and export parameter.
where left position when displaying and spos = search position
and then save and activate ..

Alternative component in BOM

Dear All,
To produce a product PRO-A , components A is used and we also use the components B,V2 if the stock of A component is not avail.
1. How to consider the alternative components in BOMcreation and while run the mrp system check availability of A, B, V2 stock instead of consider only the A component stock to create the PR.
2, client propose to create a material ( bundle ) which includes the components A,B ,V2.
and should satisfy the following conditions....
u2022     bundles are not managed in inventory,
u2022     bundles appear in the BOM instead of one corresponding source,
u2022     are u201Ctransparent u201C for MRP computation, when a bundles appears in a BOM, the ERP system checks availability of all individual sources under this u201Cbundleu201D before suggesting any purchase if needed.
How to map this scenario in sap
Thanks
vraj

For MRP run, you may use 'planning with planning material'. Use a single planning material for both A and V2. Once you consume either A or V2, the planned independent requirements for this single planning material will be used in the system. Till there is sufficient stock of either A and/or V2, system will not generate any new procurement proposals for them.
For manufacturing, you may use the production version functionality in SAP for the BOM. I am not very sure on this one, you may ask someone from PP.
Hope this helps.

Alternative item group bom

Hi All,
Is there any way we can differentiate between the primary material and secondary material using alternative item in bom
I know we have usage probability strategy ranking in alternative group but i guess they dont specify which one is primary and which one is secondary material
any suggestions would be highly appreciated
Thanks
shaiil

Usage probability is for MRP run.
Priority is the order in which stock is checked in order to reserve.
if either 100% of A or 100% of B can fulfill the demand then it will pick that component based on priority (A first, B second).
Let us make it a little bit more detailed.
Component A
Priority 1
Strategy 2 ( 100 %)
Usage prob. 30
Qty reqd in BOM : 20 EA
Component B
Priority 2
Strategy 2 ( 100 %)
Usage prob. 70
Qty reqd in BOM : 10 EA
If Available stock
A: 20
B: 10
Component A is picked to make reservation.
If Available stock
A: 4
B: 6
(After MRP run)
pur req for A: 2 EA and
pur req for B: 1 EA
If Available stock
A: 0
B: 0
(After MRP run)
pur req for A: 6 EA and
pur req for B: 7 EA
If either 100% of A or 100% of B cannot fulfill the requirement then MRP run will look at the usage probability and generate purchase orders based on the probability and available stock.
But you want to purchase either component A or component B (according your requirement where you want to make one of them primary) It makes little sense to set one at 30% and other 70% so you set that component usage probability for primary as 100% and rest of the components in the group 0 so that pur reqs are generated only for the primary.
Example you always want the system to look for A if it's in stock and can fulfill demand but you always want to purchase B first, so you set priority 1 for A and probability 0 and usage probability 100 and priority 2 for B

Does standard CIF transfer WBS BOM to APO

Folks
Through CA71, WBS BOM can be created by providing WBS element, Materal, plant, BOM usage. I had created a routing as well.
Does the standard CIF support transferring WBS BOM (Work Break down structure) to APO?
Through R3, there is a transaction, CURTO_CREATE_FOCUS, which manually transfers WBS BOM as PPDS PDS into APO.
R3 Path for CURTO_CREATE_FOCUS : Logistics ->Central Functions ->Supply Chain Planning Interface ->Core Interface Advanced Planning and Optimization ->Integration Model ->Change Transfer ->Production Data Structure (PDS) ->Transfer Order BOM/WBS BOM.
Now I am trying to know if thee is a possibility or feature that SAP offers to trasfer the WBS BOM, can upon its creation in R3 instead of manually trigeering the CURTO_CREATE_FOCUS program.
Would appreciate if anyone can let me know if this is possible and if so the process, config invloved.
Thanks
Edited by: p706063 on Oct 3, 2008 10:11 PM

To transfer it automatically , please create a variant for the program :CURTO_CIF_CREATE_FOCUS_RTO and do background scheduling with your CIF job.

Change WBS BOM Structure

Dear Experts,
I have a WBS BOM ( Copied from Material BOM) in which one common child level component is used for differernt Superior Assembleis. Now when i am deleting this component from one of the Superior Assembly, a POP UP is coming stating that the same compoenent is used for Other Assemblies tooDo you want to delete this component from there other superior assemblies too. When i am hitting YES-only the Component is getting deleted from the Supeior assembly for which it is selected for not from the others.
Can anyone throw a light Whats the purpose of that POP UP then?
Thanks in Advance
Best Regards

Hi

Costing in WBS bom

Hi All,
I am using a WBS bom in project. I do the cost estimate in CKw1 and also activate it in CKW4. Now this new cost has to appear when I do a network costing. I tried changing the valuation variant but somehow it did not help. The system is still taking the old material master price. Do i need an exit to have the new price for this material and WBS combination.
Any help in this reagrds is appreciated. Also would like to know the transaction to delete this costing run.

Did you do CK24 (Price Update Release and Marking)after CKW1/CKW4?
CK44 - Delete Costing Run
CKR1 Delete Std Cost Estimate

Calculation wbs bom

hello!
is there an easy way to calculate just the material costs of a wbs bom (similar to transaction CK51N for order boms)? the wbs will be specific for each project, therefore i don't think that easy cost planing will work (SAP R/3 4.6c)
thanks!
matthias

Hello ,
I am facing similar problem.....can you please help me understand how u resolved it. I can not transfer the BOM in to Project because I have issues....
1) I transfer, requirement for header component will not get generated.
2) Requirement date for the child components will not flow as per the routing timings.
3) While in planr parameters for MRP seetings , I flagged Sale orer/WBS bom indicator, hence during MRP run, if a WBS bom exists, system xplodes it and neglects Material BOM.
4) Because seeting mentioned in point 4 , I amm assigning header component to project activity manually....drag nad Drop.
However, similarly I want to dectate planned cost run to consider WBS Bom composition not the Material BOM.
Help me with a solution.
Thanks
Saikishore Ganga.
