Alternate BOM

Dear Friends,
I am creating alternate Bill of material for FERT, but system is throwing following error.
BOM CAN ONLY BE EXTENDED VIA MASTER RECIPE
Please guide me how to crate the alternate BOM for the same.
Regards,
AMit Shirsath.

Hi
If this message is only warning then just go ahead and change the BOM. If this is a warning then change the BOM from receipe but it is not possible to create an alternate bom.
The creation of alternate BOM is not possible because the existing BOM is already used in the calculation. Let me know why you want to create alternate BOM? If possible i may suggest other way round solution

  • Alternate BOM explosion in planned order creation

    Dear Experts,
    We have maintained a alternate BOM 1 and 2 of a assembly which is defined as a Phantom (E-50). User wants a option of selecting the alternate BOM of this phantom assembly while creating the planned order of Header assembly. Is it possible?How?
    Thanking you,
    SR

    Dear Sachin,
    In my understanding it's not possible to select the different alternative BOM of a phantom assembly when creating the planned
    order for a header material.
    But give a try in this way,create 2 production version with different lot size or validity date for each laternative BOM and assign
    the value as 2 in BOM selection method in MRP4 view for the phantom assembly.
    Correct me if I'm wrong.

  • Issue in Exploding Alternate BOM while creating Planned Order to PR

    Hiii All,,
    I have maintained a two BOM's for a finished material one for In House production and one for Sub contracting the components for the Two BOM's are different.
    i have maintained Two Versions for the finished material also.
    when i covnvert a planned Order to an Sub Contracting Purchase Requisition alternate BOM doesnt explode. i have also maintained a production version in the Purchase info record. Still the main BOM explodes.
    i have to manually change the planned order and give the other production version ie not the Inhouse BOM.
    After creating the PR then again i have to go planned order and change to the normal InHouse  BOM.
    Please Provide me the solution.
    Thanx & Regards,
    Kumar Rayudu

    Hi
    In order to explode your alt BOM in your PR do the following.
    1. Maintian alt BOM
    2.Maintain a Version using this alt BOM only. Do not select any routing /rcp group.
    3.Give this Version name in your Inforecord (ME11).
    4.Set the "MRP" field as "Record Relevant to MRP " in your Source List for the material.
    5.In the material master, select the procurement type (MRP2) as " X " ( ie, both proc types).
    I am sure it will work for you

  • *URGENT -Alternate BOM selection in MRP*

    Dear gurus
    I have an urgent requirement regarding alternate bom selection.
    our scenarion is complete subcontracting and no production versions are maintained and for suppose i have a product X which has 3 alternative boms during the sales order creation iam able to select the required alternative but during the mrp run the system is selecting the alternative "1" by default.I want that during the mrp run also the system should explode the bom which  i have selected during the sales order creation not the alternate "1".
    please reply.

  • SUB CONTRACTING PO FOR MATERIAL HAVING ALTERNATE BOM

    Hi,
    we are having following scenario for subcontracting process.
    FIN1 material can be produced either from RAW1 or RAW2.
    In PO for FIN1, in BOM assignment , BOM for FIN1 with RAW2 as sub component  is  assigned. But when thay want to make FIN1 from RAW1, system allows to issue RAW1 to subcontractor as it is maintained as subcomponent in alternate BOM of FIN1(not in PO) but while doing GR it gives message of " DEFICIT OF STOCK W. VENDOR UNR. 10 EA : RAW2 1000 O"
    I thot that this msg is arrising as component RAW2 is not provided to vendor ( as it is maintained in PO a subcomponent for FIN1). So what I did , I added another item as FIN1 in same PO with sub component as RAW1, and then carried out the process, so it worked. But this makes confussion to user as there are severel items in PO, and to judge against which item he will hav to make GR.
    So my question is, is there any setting or scenario in SAP to solve this issue?
    Regards

    1. You will definitely create two subcontracting info records for two raw materials say RAW1 and RAW2.
    2. There will be two seperate production versions for these two materials.
    3. Update respective production versions in respective subcontracting info-records.
    4. This will help to upload the alternate BOM even you changed the material from PO

  • Use of Alternate BOM in Plant Maintenance

    Hi All,
    Please let me know the use of Alternate BOM in SAP PM.
    Sundar

    From SAP Help.
    The BOM structure is reflected in the different technical categories of BOM provided in the PM system:
    Simple BOM
    The first BOM that you create for a technical object or material has no defined technical category and a simple structure. It is described as a "simple BOM".
    Variant BOM
    Variant BOMs have a more complex structure. They are used to group together several BOMs to describe different objects that have a high proportion of identical parts.
    Multiple BOM
    Multiple BOMs have the most complex structure. They are used to group together several BOMs to describe one object, for which different combinations of materials are used for different production methods. Multiple BOMs are usually used in production planning and have little or no use for plant maintenance.
    Note: There is no concept of Alternative BoM for PM.

  • Alternate BOMs and Purchase Requisitions

    Hi
    The scenario is that the material M1 has two alternate BOMs. These two alternate BOMs(A1 & A2) are specific to two different vendors(V1 & V2). During the planned order conversion to a Purchase Requisition, the business needs to decide/assign the vendor based on the component material availability as per the BOM. We creatred production versions(P1 & P2 ) for A1 & A2 and and assigned them to the respective PIRs.
    (1) M1>P1>A1>PIR1>V1 
    (2) M1>P2>A2>PIR2>V2.
    When the user picks vendor V2 at the pur req., the system defualts to the A1 BOM but NOT to A2 BOM. However, on converting the pur req to a PO, the BOM picked up is A2.
    The question is, the release strategy id defined at the pur req level and not at the PO level (business decision), the person who releases the pur req does not know if A2 BOM is assigned to it or not. Is there a way to show that the A2 bom is picked up at the pur req level?
    thanks
    BE.

    Hi,
    For BOM selection, system will check BOM selection method in material master of MRP4 view.
    BOM selection by Lot size, Date, Production version & Only by prod version.
    Addition to that BOM selection by Selection ID defined in plant parameter. This selection ID consists of BOM priority & Usage.
    Manually you can not control BOM selection.
    For routing selection, system will check Lot size. If lot size not matched with required qty, system avoid the lot size & consider the date.
    In addition to that system will consider Task list type, priority, Usage & Status.
    In Order type dependent parameter(OPL8), you can configure whether system should select routing automatically or manually.

    Dharma

  • Scheduling Agreement Alternate BOM usage

    Hi all,
    For a FG material , i have 2 BOMs available for that.
    I make a scheduling agreement for  Subcontracting process while maintaining schedules ME38 , automatically system is picking the first BOM present for that material , but i want to use the alternate BOM to be picked for that particular vendor or for that Scheduling agreement. So should I maintain any thing else for that agreement .
    With Rgds,
    Vamsi

    Hi,
    Maintain two production versions, one for each BOM you have, Assign the default production version to the subcontracting info record
    When you create subcon PO, the default production version is used. If you want to change it, go in the item level "Material Data" Tab,
    click "Re-explode" and choose the production version you want
    Thanks

  • Alternate BOM Text from sales order

    Hi ,In My report I need alternate BOM Text.
    The scenatrio is : when we create Sales order it will ask for Alternate BOM ( 1 or 2 or 3 ).
    Based on selection it will assign the BOM and Sales order will be saved.
    I want how to link the sales order doc no with Alternate BOM.
    I have tried so many tables : MAST,VBAP,VBAP.STPO,STKO,STAS etc but not getting the Link.
    Can anybody suggest me ?

  • Alternate Bom for a finished product has huge varience in cost estimate

    Hi all
    I have created alternate BOMs for a finished material. One is local raw materials and another has imported raw materials. Goods are produced using both these boms but in one period i can release cost estimate of one BOM. Thats why there is a huge variance in cost estimate when alternate BOM is used for the material. kindly give me a solution as to how i can fix this issue.

    Please provide me an understanding on above questions will be grateful.
    Thanks in Advance

    Dear Madhan Shah,
    If  you are new to the FORUM kinly read the rules first, so that in future you wil avoid posting mulitple questions in same thread.
    What is Alternate BOM ?
    If you have more than one BOM for same material then each BOM is created as alternate BOM
    EX - The BOM for producing sample will not be same as BULK so based on lot size you will have this.
    What is Alternate Routing ?
    If you have more than one ROUTING for same material then each ROUTING is created as alternate ROUTING
    EX - The ROUTING for producing samplING will not be same as BULK so based on lot size you will have this.
    How do I create Alternate BOM ? Please give me a step by step procedure
    First create a BOM in the CS01 and save it.
    Again create a BOM for the same material, the system will give you a message telling Alternate bom created.
    You can see the alternate bom number.
    How do I create Alternate Routing ? Please give me a step by step procedure
    First Create a Group and Group counter 1
    Add the second routing as Group counter 2
    You can define the Alternate routing / group counters based on the lot size or validity
    What are all the configuration set-up is required to automatically and manually select the Alternative BOM while creating a Planned and Production Order ?
    What are all the configuration set-up is required to automatically and manually select the Alternative Routing while creating a Planned and Production Order ?
    For above 2 questions
    NO configuration is requried
    Creat PRoduction version in C223
    Here you define in each production version which is the BOM and routing it has to use.
    Each production version you can define it with a lot size or valdiity period.
    IN the MRP4 against the selection method you can define how the production version has to be selected.
    Kindly let me know your feedback , if answered kindly close the thread.

  • Multiple Alternate BOM and activate least one

    Hi Experts
    Any possibilty to activate the Current Activate BOM in case of 3 or 4 alternate BOM
    like if FG is having 3 alternate BOM 1,2,3 with BOM usage 1 than system will check at the time of production order or reservation only 3 with usage 1.
    Rgds
    Pankaj Agarwal

    Hi Pankaj,
    If I got your issue right than you want to have 3 alternative BOMs for a one material (all active) under same usage but you want to select only 3rd alternative during production order.
    If this is the case, then its possible in SAP SFC.
    You need to go to customizing, tcode OS32 - Alternative BOM determination. make new entry as Material with plant, usage, current date and "ALT BOM as 3". You also need to go to MM02 MRP4 view and change BOM selection to "1" selection by explosion date.
    Please try to create production order. This time system will pick Alt BOM 3 with same usage.

  • How to define alternate BOM in SBO

    Hi all,
             Can you help me to define alternate BOM for an item?
    Thanks in Advance
    Suresh R

    Hi Suresh,
    One work around can be to define all permitition & combination in one BOM only and after selecting the BOM in Production order, user can decide which child items are to be kept and which child items are to be removed.
    Hope it helps

  • Alternate BOM in Sales BOm Costing

    Hi,
       When we create sales order with alternate sales BOM we face a problem.I am using Alternate BOM 5 in sales order .But Costing is happening for Alternate BOM 1.By default Costing  is taking Alternate BOM1 irrespective of alternate  BOM  i am using in sales order.
      At the time of sales BOM costing system should take alternate BOM5 .how to do this?
    Regards,
    Guru
    Edited by: kumaraguru v on Jan 22, 2010 7:24 AM

    You can use Mixed Costing for this. Maintain Procurement alternative by CK91 & Mixing Ratio CK94 for the version you want to cost

  • Use ot alternate BOM

    Hi
    We have alternate BOM of a GF material, How can i use boththe BOMS in MRP run, and If we run MRP 2 time for the same material Ist time i use BOM no 1 and in IInd run change the BOM and run the MRP what will be the impact on my PR`s
    Thanks

    Dear Sir,
                 Other way of doing is that make one production version active and then run MRP and then the other.Go to C223 and make inactive or make it inactive through MRP-4.Avinash Sir, please be free to call
