Alternate BOMs and Routings

Hello Gurus,
I had a question. I have created Alternate BOMs and Routings for a Material. How through Configuration/or Material Master settings Can I control, as to when MRP derives result from Primary BOM/Routing or Alternative BOM/Routing.
Thanks,
Sachin

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

  • Standard cost with material with alternate BOM and Routing

    I have a set up where the same material can be manufactured in 2 different production lines and each production line has two different BOMs and Routings. If I want to have a blended standard cost for the material what are our options?
    We do not want to do split valuation.
    thanks a lot

    Hi
    You can different PCC (Product cost collector) for both lines of the same product (Product cost by period).
    You can define a production process within a product cost collector for each line of production with a combination of BOM and Routing. TCode KKF6n. It would generate a order number for each production process.
    You can use each order within the PCC for each production line to capture the costs for seperate lines.

  • Production order for alternate BOM and Routing

    Hi All,
             In my business(Discrete) scenario I have alternate bom and routing has group counters. some times i should use first BOM and First group counter. Then next Bom and next group counter. But lotsize is same( prodcution version how to assign).
    When creating production order i should select which ever i need.

    Hi,
    For your requirement you can define your Order Type Dependent parameters OPL8 as:
    Production Version : 1 Manual Selection of production Version.
    In this case every time when you creat your Production order System will ask for the Production version to be selected. You need to select the PV manually then only you can proceed further.
    This setting is applicable only when the Production Order is Created.
    It will not effect the Planned Oredr creation via. MRP Run..
    Hope this helps..

  • WIP Mass Load - Update BOMs and Routings on Unreleased Jobs

    I would like to be able to refresh the BOMs and Routings that are used by Discrete Jobs that are currently in status Unreleased. I would like to do this before I run MRP to ensure that any jobs marked as released during planning process have the most update to date BOM and Routing attached.
    I have tried to use the WIP Mass Load to do this by updating the Bom Revision Date and Routing Revision Date. Although this works in the Forms, when this Revision Date is updated via the WIP Mass Load,the BOM and Routing information remains the same.
    do I need to do something to trigger the change to BOMs and Routings on this Jobs via WIP Mass Load?
    I would appreciate any help on this subject.
    Thanks
    Barbara

    I think you may be able to use the Engineering Change order (ECO) functionality of the Engineering module to accomplish this. Even the BOM module contains some of the functionality.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Bom and Routing load files.

    Can you let me know how to create a BOM load file and a routing load file from SAP system? I want a list of all Boms and routings in an excel file respectively. I have to get this ready for the ABAPer to load these files into a new system.
    Any input will be appreciated. Please give a detailed explanation.

    Dear Sridhar Ramakrishnan,
    1.For Uploading BOM & Routing generally BDC's are used.
    2.For this the recording has to be made using T code SHDB.Later on a Program will be generated for this recording by the ABAP
    consultant.
    3.The file format can be obtained with the nehlp of your ABAP consultant.
    4.Simply the datas without any fields,will be entered and a .TXT file will be used to upload the same.

  • BOM and Routing tables and batch tables

    Hi gurus,
    We want to identify certain HIBE materials if they are used in BOMs or routings or if they have batches. What are the tables that i can look that will tell me whether these materials are used in BOM, ROUTING and if they have batch.
    For batches i think it is MCHA. I need to find out for BOM and ROUTINGS. Please help

  • Reg : BOM and production order

    Hi all,
    I have created two production orders for the same material but with diffrent BOM explosion date. now can any one please let me know how will i find which version of alternate BOM of the material is used in the production order.
    In the production order header table ( AFKO) i am getting only the alternate BOM number, i am ubable to find which version of alternate BOM is used for Production order.
    Thanks .
    VIJAY

    the relation is as below
    AFKO-STLNR = STAS-STLNR
    AFKO-STLTY = STAS-STLTY
    AFKO-STLAL= STAS-STLAL
    FROM HERE TAKE ALL
    STAS-STLKN AND STAS-STLTY
    PASS IT TO STPO
    STPO-STLNR = STAS-STLNR
    SPO-STLTY = STAS-STLTY
    STAS-STLKN-= STPO-STKLN
    THIS WILL GIVE YOU ALL THE BOM ITEMS USED IN THAT PROD ORDER.
    IS IT OKAY?

  • BOM and Routing with Dependencies

    Hi,
    I have created BOM,Routing and dependencies.
    I know we can link BOM and dependencies using BDC programming.
    MY QUESTION : Is there any FM or BAPI which does link BOM and dependency & routing and dependencies where it takes Material,component and name of the dependency and link directly to respective BOM's and routings.
    I would appreciate any inputs.
    Best Regards,
    Mark

    Hello,
    Please check the following DI Program/LSMW:
    0170/0001/RCPTRA01/B
    and the Structure BIPMZ would allow us to link the components to an Operation.
    Also the BAPI: BAPI_ROUTING_CREATE
    and structure: COMPONENTALLOCATION
    Hope this helps.

  • 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
