Add a new component in Production order while not being in BOM

Question

Hi all,
I would like to know how to forbid the addition of a new component in a Production order that doesn't exist in the BOM.
Currently when we create a Production Order, the components of its materials are read from the BOM. If we add a component that doesn't exist in the bom the system allows it without any problem. We want to forbid this and let components be added to a PO only when they take part in the BOM.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance.

SS,
You can use an userexit to check before saving the order, based on the BOM(Order master data tab) used in the order, it should validate the component material number. If it finds a new material in the order, it should terminate the save with a message to user.
The following enhancement is available for production orders:
PPCO0008  Enhancement for adding and changing components
This enhancement is used to check components (for instance against a standard parts database), which have added to or changed in an order. This check can then refuse to copy a component into the order or can replace one material number with another.
The enhancement PPCO0008 contains the following enhancement components:
Function exit
EXIT_SAPLCOMK_006
Enhancement for adding and  changing components
Activities
1. Create the enhancement
To do so, create a new project or use an existing project.
2. Activate the project.
The enhancement can only take effect after you have activated the project.
