Alternative BOM selection in Subcontracting purchase requisition

Hi,
We have three alternative BOM for one semi-finished material.
We created production three production versions for respective BOM, and maintained the prod version in to subcontracting info record.
But without creating any production versions,
Can we select the BOM alternative at the time of creating subcontracting purchase requisition in ME51N,

Why do you want to select BOM at the time of PO creation ?
If BOM components differ based on quantity of finished product, then these FG quantity range can be specified in from-lot-size and to-lot-size fields of production version - and SAP will pick the appropriate PV based on PO quantity.
If BOM components to be provided to sub-contract vendor differ based on vendor, then specify that in the info record.

How can I select alternative BOM when creating subcontract purchase order?

In our business, a finish good material always has different production versions at the same time. Each of production versions has its own alternative BOM. When I create a planned order, I can select wanted BOM through specifying production version.
But, when I creating subcontract purchase order, there is no field for me to specify the production version or which alternative BOM I prefer. In this case, I need to create a planned order at first. And then, convert the planned order to purchase. Only through this way, I can create a subcontract purchase order with my wanted BOM.
So, I wonder if there is any way to select alternative BOM directly when creating subcontract purchase order.
Thanks a lot!
Regards
Robbie

Dear Mr. MM
can you give me additional information about your solution?
BUT I would not expect the sytem to offer you during the Purchasing cycle the different Production Versions as it is not meant to be. I remember having the same requirement some time ago and we solved it the way I described above, additionally we created a Pop up window with a user exit during the PO creation which offered the different production versions and if the one linked with the quota arrangement, the standard PV, is used in the PO.
We also have the same problem, we activated businessfunction SCM_GEN_02 so that it is possible to have several production versions for one supplier, but unfortunatly it is not possible to change the production version in the purchase order. (business function does not seem to be very integrated)
So i would be very interested in your solution because acually it seems that i have to modify the sap standard.
Thank you and best regards

Hi,
Try using this concept.
In BOM alternative items are assigned to alternative item group on the general
data.
In the production order in the general data tab page.
We can define the alternative items based on priority , strategy and usage probability.
Priority:
This defines the priority of the item within the alternative item group.
This determines the priority of planned withdrawls of items.
EX Two items are assigned to alternative item group
item A Priority 1
item B Priority 2
The system reads the item A first.
Strategy:
use the strategy to determine how the planned withdrawl is controlled
within the alternative item group.
The strategy should be same for all alternative items within a alternative
item group.
If the value 2( 100% check) is defined for the strategy the first material in
the defined priority sequence for which sufficient quantities are available
are reserved.
If value 1 is used( manual maintainence/ usage probability) depending upon the
availability you can manually with draw components.
Usage Probability:
MRP Plans these alternative material components according to probability
of use.Material requirements for BOM Components are planned according
to usage probability.
The planned withdrawls for the production order are based on the
reservation lists.These lists are based on the priority and strategy.

BOM Explosion in Subcontracting Purchase Order (Item Category L)

Hello everybody,
can u tell me which alternative of a BOM will be choosen during the BOM Explosion in a Subcontracting PO (Item Cat. L) - or where the corresponding customizing or master data settings can be done?
many thanks,
Gregor

Hi
BOM explosion in Subcon PO will be carried out automatically when you select the item category L.
If you want to control the BOM selection based on the Alternative then you can go with Production version option and get the help from PP consultant to create the production version.
Assign the production version in Subcontracting Inforecord.
Click the BOM explosion button the switch to alternative BOM during the PO creation.
Hope it helps
Thanks/Karthik

No Subcontracting Purchase requisition creation

Hello everybody,
I have a strange system behavior : the external purchase requisition creation at Production order type level (AFVG-AUDISP) is set to "3", so I want that the system always create automatically the related purchase requisition.
It randomly happens that certain number of production order are created without purchase requisitions, and into the external operation the system "automatically" move the external purchase requisition creation to "1".
Looking into the OSS notes I found the note 1493286, unfortunately there is inside just a workaround and I am not able to reproduce the behavior.
I know that the value "1" is placed because the system is not able to create the Purch Req, but I am not able to find the real reasons in order to remove them.
We are speaking about "kanban" order creation... is there someone that had similar problems ?
Could you please help me ?
Thanks
Salvatore Testa

Creating (ME51N) is not changing, hence you dont have change documents in CDHDR and CDPOS.
And the table EBAN just has a creation date, but not creation time.
SAP is probably the opinion that the creation time of a requistion is not needed for an ERP process.
(Adding a new item to an existing requisition is a change and will update CDHDR)

Alternative Bom in Subcontracting Purchase Order

Hi Friends,
Can you suggest me how to pick alternative Bom in a Subcontracting Purchase Order.
Rgds, Krishan Raheja.

create the production version and assign that to sub contracting inforecord and system will pick based on the production version assigned to info record
Production Version
Key which determines the various production techniques according to which
     a material can be manufactured.
The production version determines the following:
     o the BOM alternative for a BOM explosion
     o the task list type, the task list group and the task list group
        counter for allocation to task lists
     o lot-size restrictions for repetitive manufacturing

Subcontract PO item withdrawal issue when alternative BOM item used

Hi,
As title mentioned, when we issue alternative material for a subcontract PO in BOM, but it still shows the quantity from primary item.
(For example, we have a product, let's say it as Product-A, it's combined by material-B1 and Material-C1
And the BOM for Product-A for item material-B1 has an alternative item, material-B2
Now the issue is when we issue material-B2 instead B1, but the PO usage/withdrawal listed in B1)
Because we are making a list for China custom for material usage, the issue listed above makes our list not available for custom department.
Please let us know how we could make the withdrawal in PO shows B2.
thanks,
Steven

Dear Steven,
As explained by our forum friend maintain this data.
1.Create 2 different BOM for the same header material with the respective BOM components.
2.Create production version for the header material using T COde MM02--->MRP4 view and click on prod.version,enter the same
as 0001,text as prod version 1,default valid from date will be the current date and the valid to date will be 31.12.9999.
3.Enter the lot size for which this prod version is valid and then in the alternative BOM select the BOM and save the data.
4.Prdo.version can also be maintained through C223.
5.Assign this prod version in the sub-contracting purchase info record in ME11,under prod version under purch org data(not sure
check this alone).
6.Likewise assign the prod version that is linked to the BOM to be picked for each sub-contracting vendor.
Check the results after MRP and revert.

CO01 CREATE SHOP ORDER MANUALLY SELECTING ALTERNATIVE BOM

Hi, I can see how to set-up alternative bom selection when using mrp to create shop orders automatically but when we are manually creating a shop order and there are two alternative boms how do I select the second alternative at the time of creation, our set-up defaults to alternative 1 and gives no choice to select the other. Each alternative has different components of course and allocated to different operations.
Hope you can advise me, thank you.
Craig Wood

Hi Craig Wood,
u can select desire alternative bom while creating Production order manually by creating two production versions for your header material. Do the following settings..
1.create two production versions and assign your alternative BOM - Mrp view of MM01.
2. define BOM selection Ind = 2 in (By production version) In Mrp view.
3.then define selection of production version = 1 (Manual selection)for your order type and plant - in OPL8
4. Now create pro ord , give your qty and date`s then sytem will show one pop-up window here u can select the production version .

Alternative BOM in PO

Dear Experts
I have three BOM for one finished material.
That material is to be subcontracted.
When creating subcontracting PO, In material tab
when i explode BOM it shous only two BOMs the third is not showing.
Is there any way to show all the BOMs in PO, while exploding.
I have maintained Info record.
Eg:- If i maintain productin version 2 in info record,
       while exploding BOM in PO, it will ask Production version 1 or 2 only. Not 1,2 and 3
       If i maintain productin version 3 in info record,
       while exploding BOM in PO, it will ask Production version 1 or 3 only. Not 1,2 and 3
**I need all the production versions to be asked in PO.**
**From that i need to select the Production Version**
**Pls give the solution.**
Thanks in advance.
Depin

Hi,
As per me this is the biggest drawback of SAP (Alternative BOM determination in Subcontracting PO)
Every time change the production version in PIR and then create Subcontracting PO otherwise go for ABAP Development.
No other way to determine it. Also do not expect any help from SAP OSS.
In case if you find, kindly update it in Forum, it will help a lot.

hi,
In the SAP Order Transactions ME21N, ME22N and ME23N, you can select by purchase requisitions in the document overview (selection variant -purchase requisitions).If you do so, it is possible to select explicitly by open and released purchase requisitions...
OR
In Transaction MEPO, in the document overview you can select by purchase requisitions. Here you can select only open purchase requisitions and execute...

Purchasing Controls - Purchase Orders from Purchase Requisitions

I need some help with setting up purchasing controls. We are looking to put in place a control that allows users to convert purchase requisitions into PO, but only create the purchase order for the quantity on the purchase requisition.
As I see it, we need to do the following:
1) Require that PO references a Purchase Requisition
2) Do not allow the PO qty to exceed the Purchase Requisition qty
Background
- Purchase Requisition approval not needed for reqs created by MRP
- Have investigated transaction OMET and function authorization, but does not fit the need. If we require Purchase Req as reference, it does not allow reference to Contract. If we select contract and purchase requisition, a PO can be created referencing Contract without a purchase requisition.
Regards,
Jeff

1) Require that PO references a Purchase Requisition
Use OMET adn do not select the ref to contract check box but select the ref to Purchase requistion
now make the source list is required for mateiral and than create the source list and enter the contract in the source list.
now when user create the req and the source determination is check than system will put the contract as source in reqs and than you can create the PO using reqs.
2) Do not allow the PO qty to exceed the Purchase Requisition qty
Activate the message an error : 06 076 Materials of requisition & item & alr. ordered in full
which will stop user to alter the quantity in the PO and will not allow to use again same reqs if orderd full

Error while creating purchase requisition

Hello
I am getting following error when I try to create Purchase Requisition
u201CField selection PT4B not definedu201D
Cant progress any further due to the error
Regards,
sudhir

Hi
First Do you Have created any new field selection for PR document types?
IF not check your PR document type is attached with which field selection in Puchasing -> purchase requisition -> define document types -> check your document type and field selection. Is it PT4B?
PT4B is not available then assign correct one in customization.
If it is then check the settings for fields selection in purchasing -> PR - screen layout at document level -> field selection PT4B.

Run MRP and Collective Purchase Requisition

Hi all, I have a question for all. Very be kindly when receive your answer.
When I run MRP, the system will be generate one Purchase Requisition for one item in BOM (10 items in BOM). So, I want to collect all requirement in BOM to only one Purchase Requisition. Does the system can support for this scenario???
Thanks all

So the stock of B is zero and we don't have material B for MO 1. I don't know why SAP does't have keep B and good issue only 4 for CO department. I wonder that why MRP generate one PR for component B instead of two PR.

Dear Hoai,
What is the strategy maintained for header materials, i guess it is MTO ( make to order )
If the strategy is MTO then go to MRP - 4 view for all components and make it as 1
Then check the result
