Assembly BOM Option

How do I need to configure an item in order for it to display an assembly BOM option?
I take a current item which is configured as an assembly BOM and duplicate it. Give it a new code and name, then add it. When I go to Bill Of Materials and want to add a new BOM with the newly created item, it doesn't give me the option of Assembly. Just Sales, Production and Template.
I've got the item only set as a Sales Item and Planning method is MRP and Procurement method is Make.
Please help and thanks in advance,
Adele

Dear,
It 2007 b there is no option for assembly bom.
The Assembly BOM has been discontinued as of SAP Business One Release 2007; however, it will appear in companies that have been upgraded.
if you want assembly bom,install the sap b1 2005 b and then upgrade it to 2007 b.
hope this will help you.
regards,

Create report with Assembly BOM component

Hi,
I have a customer who uses Assembly BOM in his delivery and invoice.
In this assembly BOM are some component that they want to see in an report. But in the deliverie you don't see the component items in the line
Is there somebody who can tell me where i can found these items when delivery is made in an SAP table?
Or is there allready an query which give me an overview
I found out somethings myself.
SELECT DocNum, T0.CardCode,T0.CardName, T1.ItemCode,T2.ItemName, T1.Quantity FROM ODLN T0
Inner Join DLN14 T1 on T1.DocEntry = T0.DocEntry
Inner Join OITM T2 on T1.ItemCode = T2.ItemCode
Where DocNum = 11030539
Problem now is that the result gives me all components of the assembly bom, but in this specific assembly bom is an salesitem (costs for assemblying) but that lines gives me 'zero' as quantity??
Thanks
Mark

Hi,
As the sales item is a non-inventory item, the quantity value taken from the DLN14 would not give you that value.
I tried to create a query which actually links the table of the BOM and the BOM rows. Please check the following :
SELECT DocNum, T1.CardCode,T1.CardName, T3.ItemCode,T4.ItemName, t6.quantity from ODLN T1
INNER JOIN DLN1 T2 ON T1.DocEntry = T2.DocEntry
INNER JOIN DLN14 T3 ON T1.DocEntry = T3.DocEntry
Inner Join OITM T4 on T3.ItemCode = T4.ItemCode
inner join OITT t5 on t5.code = t2.itemcode
inner join ITT1 t6 on t6.father = t5.code
where t5.treetype = 'A' and docnum = '11030539'
I was not able to test it. Please check and update the thread or may be you can further customize and see if the same works.

Equipment/ Assembly BOM in Task list

Dear All,
Can we assign Equipment and/or Assembly BOM in Task Lists ?
If Yes, How ?
Thanks and Regards

Hi Anil,
If you want to include all material from equipment BOM, first you have to create the equipment/general task list where all that material (equipment BOM) included. When you create the new Maintenance Order, you just need to call that equipment/general task list. It will automatically adding all the material that you've already mention in the task list.
From my point of view, BOM for maintenance is different with BOM for production. BOM for production can be explode in Production Order and automatically include all the material to Production Order. As for maintenance BOM, it only for structuring the technical objects or you can use it for material cataloging when you create Maintenance Order.
Hope my answer can help you.

Converting Assembly BOM to Sales BOM in SAP 2007

I am attempting to change my first Assembly BoM to a Sales BoM, but I get the message 'BOM CANNOT BE CHANGED : OPEN WORKS ORDERS WERE FOUND (PRODUCT TREE - BM TYPE) [MESSAGE 3566-8]'. There are no open sales orders or Production Orders for this item (does 'WORKS ORDER' = 'PRODUCTION ORDER' or does it mean something else? Please advise
Is there any documentation which targets this specific functionality of conversion ?
Thanks in advance for your assistance,
Kind regards,
Indraj.

Please check this thread:
BOM Cannot be changed, open work orders were found

Sales bom and assembly bom

i want to make sales bom which consists of all the materials to make a product(machine).this sales bom is available to sales person and he has to select the varients depends upon customer requirement(varient configuration).
then all materials are to be manufactured and are to be available in stock.
after this step assembly person has to assemble the components according to the assembly procedure for that he has to refer assembly bom which consists of logical grouping of components for his easiness in assembly.
so sales bom has to be with materials only(components which are to be produced to make final product) and assembly bom is with logical grouping of these materials according to assembly procedures and total materials are same in sales bom and assembly bom
is there any method in sap to link sales bom and assembly bom which are different for sales and assembly?this is make to order scenario
thanking you
srinivas

Hi Srina,
The difference between them is
In the assembly bill of materials, the finished product appears in the sales order document.
But in Sales bill of materials, the finished product and the components appear as separate items in the sales order document.
For example the finished product can be a set of office furniture.
you can use the assembly bill of materials to define the composition of the set. The finished product is not stored as an entire set in the warehouse. However, the individual components of the set (for example, chairs, tables, and Almirah) are items in stock. If a customer buys a set of Office furniture, draw the components from stock and deliver them to the customer as a set.
Hope this help,
Regards,

Assembly BOM not longer available in 2007

Hi Experts,
As the Assembly BOM appears not to be available in 2007, which BOM Type should I use? I want my new BOMs to behave the way as my existing Assembly BOMs (from 2005).
Thanks
Greig

Hi!
If your DB is a Upgraded one u will find Assembly BOM.
Use SALES BOM instead of Assembly BOM. U will find a Check Box as Hide BOM Components in Printout check this to hide Childs in Marketing Document Printouts

Assemblies & BOM in PM

Hi,
I need help to understand as to how assembly is used in PM ?
I have crated one assembly,then created a quipment BOM and the same I have assigned it to the order from the assembly and list icon in component tab. Now I need to understand how it works further ? The flow ?
Also what is the difference if we create Equipment BOM or Material BOM ?
Regards,
Meghaa

Hi
Please check the link very useful to understand.
http://www.sap-img.com/plant/plant-maintenance-assembly.htm
Equipment BOM we create when there are less in number or very unique structure but if we have equipment like similar structure we go for material BOM and use the functionality of Construction type in Equipment Master data.

Phantom assembly BOM

Hi All,
My client has the following setup:
They have a BOM for the Finished product (Sub Contract BOM) but one item is a phantom assembly which has it's own BOM.
In there current system they only use BOM usage 1 for production. In the upgrade system we use production and sub con BOM usage.
Any recommendation as to what usage to use for the phantom BOM?
Sub con or production?
Thanks
Stuart

Hi Stuart,
It's usage should be production, as BOM item is a phantom assembly, the dependent requirements of the higher-level assembly are directly passed on to the components of the phantom assembly. The phantom assembly itself is still not taken into account.
Why do you want to use sub-con usage?
Regards,
R.Brahmankar

Is it possible to set BOM's Assy Qty to zero

Hi All,
We have a requirement that a consumed material is cannot defined how many qty would be consumed.
For example, a SFC will consume a component material (like Ink). User will mount a bottle of ink onto a machine when the ink is empty. In other words, they cannot define how many consumed qty of each SFC, just replace with a new Ink when the ink is empty.
I would like to ask is it possible to record a SFC assemble which Ink inventory_id and don't care consumed qty? I have tried to set Assy Qty to zero, but SAP ME does not allowed.
Thanks!

SAP has never recognized this legitimate need in BOMs. There are multiple reasons why they should allow quantity zero:
Reasons Why You Need Qty 0 in BOMs
1.      A/R Materials (As Required): Lubricants or Adhesives required to build a product are not rationed out by the drop, or by the bottle, but left to the assembler to determine the appropriate quantity based on SOE instructions. On the drawings, Engineers will call out A/R (as required) in the qty box.
2.     Variable qty items: Shims or trimmer balance weights are issued as one each, but cannot be determined until the assembly of the product occurs. As appropriate, differing quantities are issued to the product to fit the need for the specific machine being built.
3.     REF Materials. Quite often, assembly drawings will need to show the mating interface with other parts of the machine which are not actually part of the assembly. In this case, we would show the interface as u201CREFu201D on one assembly, but as quantity u201C1u201D on another assembly.
4.     Tooling: Tooling needs to be tracked and linked to the assemblies that it is used on. But it does not get consumed on a one-for-one basis with the assembly. So we want to use SAP where-used capability by linking each tool within each BOM where it is relevant, but show the quantity as u201C0u201D. On the drawing tooling is called out as REF.
5.     Must Choose Optional Choices: On u201Cassemble-to-orderu201D products, one of several different choices may be needed for various parts of the machine configuration. These u201Cmust chooseu201D options are items where the machine will not be functional without one of the available choices (such as three choices of tires on a car. The way these options are handled on the drawings is by showing them with Alpha characters in the quantity field where you u201Cmust chooseu201D one of the u201CAu201D items, one of the u201CBu201D items, and one of the u201CCu201D items to have a fully configured, workable machine. On the BOMs, we call out all the choices as qty 0, with a note to refer to the customer sales order for which choice has been made.
6.     May Choose Optional Choices:   On u201Cassemble-to-orderu201D products, in the case where an option is a u201Cmay chooseu201D option you may either order or the option or not; the machine will operate fine either way. In this case the option would show on the drawing with an u201C*u201D in the quantity field and on the SAP BOM, you would call out quantity u201C0u201D with a note to refer to the customer sales order for which choice has been made.
7.     Acceptable Substitute Items: In some cases two interchangeable part numbers may be acceptable to use in the product. For example, two manufacturers make RF drivers that are fully compatible and work fine in our machine. But Field Service required the use of two distinct part numbers for reliability tracking, so the drawings allow for either part A or part B to be used. Depending on the current cost/reliability/availability of the two parts, we will designate one item as quantity u201C1u201D in the SAP BOM and the other item as quantity u201C0u201D. On the drawing, you call out one item as quantity u201C1u201D and the other as quantity u201C*u201D with a note explaining the ability to substitute one item for the other as desired.
8.     JIT KIT support: In order to efficiently procure and build product, we may create documents that are u201Csetsu201D of material that can be procured on a single PO. So we end up with one set of drawings depicting way the machine is built and resides in the field for the next X years, and another group of drawings defining sets of material in special packaging aiding in efficient build of the product. On both groups of drawings the quantity would be u201C1u201D (or whatever qty is needed on the machine) but in the SAP BOMs, only the JITKIT BOM would have a quantity >0. The manufacturing BOMs would call out the u201Csetu201D as qty 1 but all the individual pieces of the set would be called out as qty u201C0u201D. In that way when you look at the where-use of a component in one of the sets, you would be able to determine what assembly drawings the item appears on, and also which drawing is the u201Cactiveu201D driver of the material.
9.     Request to move certain items to later in the build process: Assembly drawings usually show the assembly in the finished state, as the assembly will look out in the field being used by the customer. But internally in the factory we often desire the assembly to be built to an unfinished level with some pieces missing to allow for easier testing of the full product. Or we may choose not to put the final cosmetic touches on a machine until close to the shipping point in order to avoid scratching or denting of exterior surfaces. For example, a modulator assembly will be built with recyclable in-house panels and only have the finished panels swapped out for the recyclable tooling panels at the clean, pack, and ship operation. Other assemblies will have access panels omitted altogether to allow for easy access for machine tuning in final test. These missing panels would be added at clean, pack, and ship. So in the SAP BOMs, we change the quantity from u201C1u201D to u201C0u201D in the assembly BOM, and create separate BOMs showing quantity u201C1u201D with the clean, pack, and ship items that complete the assembly built days or weeks earlier.
We have more than 25,000 occurrences of these types of needs for quantity zero in the BOM. Our work around (until this SAP "bug" is fixed is to assign qty .001, then uncheck the production and costing relevancy within the BOM (Item Status Long Text).

Zero quantity in BOM

Hi,
I been through many thread for BOM component quantity zero, but i need suggestion for my specific case.
some stock materials they treat as consumables (those have high price items used in shop floor)so they want category as consumables in BOM and want to enter specific material number with zero quantity.
i can create "C" category by avoiding back flush option for them but how can we give zero as quantity.
Any suggestions specific to consumables in BOM?
Thanks in advance.

SAP has been very backward in not recognizing the need for quantity zero in the BOM. Every other system I have been exposed to over a 30+ year career in Materials Management allows this capability. Oracle allows it. Baan allows it. APICS classes speak of the need for it. Only SAP seems to not "feel the need". I think this is because somebody at SAP 30 years ago said that because you can't divide by zero, we (the programmers) can't figure out how to calculate certain things. Well in 30 years, I figure they could have written the code necessary to ignore calculations for costing and other things whenever you bump into quantity zero. What, maybe ten lines of code would cover that?
Reasons Why You Need Qty 0 in BOMs
1. A/R Materials (As Required): Lubricants or Adhesives required to build a product are not rationed out by the drop, or by the bottle, but left to the assembler to determine the appropriate quantity based on SOE instructions.

Assembly (CAD) to DMS to cfolder queries.....Help

Hi Gurus,
we have implemented cfolder 4.0 and we are using Inventor prof. 11 CAD tool which is integrated with SAP DMS.
we are facing a problem that,
we upload the part files from Invetor to DMS and then use tcode cfe01 for exporting a file from DMS to Cfolder.
1) Assembly files not getting CHECK IN to DMS >>> error you are not authorized to create BOM.
2) any changes made in part can not be linked to assembly file uploaded explicitely from create doc function in cfolder (b'coz of prob no. 1, we upload assembly files from Local m/c to cfolder).
3) if we upload assembly(after resolving prob no 1) from Inventor to DMS(save & check in)and then from DMS to cfolder (by tcode cfe01), all the child parts will be copied to cfolders or not.
we want to upload only assembly(but all child parts to get uploaded) is it possible?
if Yes how?
e.g.
Parent assmebly file : asm01.iam
child part files : part1.ipt
part2.ipt
WANT:
we need to upload asm01 to DMS and push the same from DMS to cfolder with part1 and part2.
so if we change file part1 and update asm01 and checkin asm01 to DMS all things need not be uploaded.
Current situation:
upload asm01 to cfolder from local m/c.
upload part1, part2 either from local m/c or through DMS to cfolder.
part1 revised so again update asm01 and upload part1 and asm01 to cfolder.
the differenceInstead of 2 transactions, only 1 trnasaction of pushing asm01 from Inventor to DMS to cfolder.
waiting with lotsss of pointss....
Niranjan

Hi Anantharam,
i hv been using cfe01..
what i want is while pushing Assembly all the child parts should go to cfolder in same command..
thanx anyway.
i have got solution, by using cfe02 explode BOM option i can push child also.

BOM explosion in Sales Order acting weird

I am trying to make a simple BOM explode but it just wouldn't although as far as I can see it should. The details:
1. I created a sales BOM (T-FUA01) with usage 5 (S&D), entered the components (automatically got L - stock item), entered the plant no. and saved it.
2. I went to the Material Master of the sales BOM and changed the item category (not the general Item category) to ERLA.
3. I checked that OR - ERLA -blank - blank combination leads to a TAQ from Customization.
4. I checked that structure scope of single level BOM (option A) has been selected for TAQ.
When I make the Standard Order (OR) though with Material T-FUA01, the sales BOM simply gets the Item Category of TAN and upon manually changing it to TAQ explodes when it should be doing this automatically. This made me think that apparently the system is using:
OR-NORM-blank-blank
that allows 4 different options to be manually entered (hence I can). But why is it taking up NORM instead of ERLA or even LUMF is simply beyond me. In frustration I even changed the General Item Category which has nothing to do with this but as expected did not help.

Hi
just re-check the following:
1) in your material master, the item category group is ERLA in sales org 2 view field: 'Item category group'.
2) You re-created the order after you changed the material master.
3) You're using standard item categories?

Raghu.

Issue with BOM Status in MRP Run

Dear All,
I have a BOM structure and BOM status as attached below.
In this case, system is generating the PR's for all three components correctly while i run MRP (MD51). But when i convert planned order to production order for "Assembly" & "BOM", it is coping the components for Assembly correctly but not for "BOM".
If i maintain the BOM status as "4" for "BOM", then the components are copied into Production Order but i am getting double PR's as the BOM is exploding two times.
As per my requirement BOM should be exploded only one time ie. for "Assembly" and component should be come in Planned order for "BOM".
Please tell me where is the problem..
Regards,
Rao

Dear Rao,
assembly and Bom have the same type of production order?
In the production order type which application is contained? PP01?
You should check the explosion setting in the profile order and the setting of application of the Bom.
if you can send me screen shot of the planned order of the Bom (components details).
Thanks
Daniele

BOM Report without drill down

Hello,
I am trying to create a BOM report where the user inputs the father item and all the other child items are displayed below it, Including the childs of other father items inside the BOM.
Has anyone done this before ?
Some BOMs items are made of other BOMs.
Kind Regards,

Hi,
Let's think together,
1. We have the list of the WH journal in the OINM table, and we can filter it as production transactions....
2. We have the bacth transaction details in IBT1 table, and we can link this table to the OINM....
select T0.ItemCode, T0.InQty, T0.OutQty , T1.BatchNum
from oinm T0 inner join ibt1 T1 on T0.ItemCode = T1.ItemCode and T0.Warehouse = T1.WhsCode and T0.TransType = T1.BaseType and T0.CreatedBy = T1.BaseEntry and T0.DocLineNum = T1.BaseLinNum
where T0.applobj = '202'
3. We have a reqursive query which gives as the list of the subcomponents...
So combine them
Let's modify the prevoius stored procedure.....
Alter Procedure BoomTree(@itemcode nvarchar(20))
AS
BEGIN
WITH BOM (Code) AS
SELECT     ROOT.Code as Code
FROM         dbo.OITT AS ROOT
WHERE     ROOT.Code = @itemcode
UNION ALL
SELECT     CHILD.Code
FROM         dbo.ITT1 AS CHILD
JOIN BOM ON CHILD.Father = BOM.Code
select T0.ItemCode, T0.InQty, T0.OutQty
, T1.BatchNum
from oinm T0
inner join ibt1 T1 on T0.ItemCode = T1.ItemCode and T0.Warehouse = T1.WhsCode and T0.TransType = T1.BaseType and T0.CreatedBy = T1.BaseEntry and T0.DocLineNum = T1.BaseLinNum
where T0.applobj = '202'
and T0.ItemCode in (select code from BOM)
OPTION (MAXRECURSION 10); -- Handles 10 levels dept of BOM
RETURN
END
GO
exec boomtree 'P0001'
So it was easy.....

Sales bom - parent item

when i create a sales bom, all the components display as independent items on the picklist. why? and it also does not display the parent item. the picker needs to see this information! how can i make that show up on the picklist? any ideas?

Hi Gordon,
I appreciate your mature reply to my critical posting.
Do you know what the Sales BOM is supposed to be used for? I am not sure how in any possible context can the below make sense:
1. Currently B1 will deliver components only of a Sales BOM at zero cost
2. Given sales orders can "expire" (in the sense they can have a cut-off date - typically 30 days by default I think), surely if one doesn't receive the remaining components in time, this would lead to a very awkward situation! What if the remaining component(s) is/are non-purchased item(s)?
If the above was registered as a program error, fair enough. But they won't register it. any ideas why?
Although with each version (see below), everything works "as designed" - they keep changing it:
In 2004A, Sales BOMs were working "as designed" - but P&P manager couldn't be used (parent item was lost when making delivery note)
In 2005A, Sales BOMs were working "as designed" - same as above - but Assembly BOMs (essentially the same thing) were improved would print off a separate component picking list.
In 2007A, Sales BOMs are working "as designed" - note, this hasn't officially changed yet - but we now get the parent item in the delivery via P&P
Our SAP partner was just as surprised at the functionality as we were when we moved ahead with the install a few years ago.
Please understand, my only issue is the lack of willingness from SAP to recognise the problem at all - and the standard answer of "as designed" even when it is clear there is a problem. If you can help myself and perhaps Prem improve our understanding of the design (especially points 1 and 2 above) I would genuinely be grateful.
Thanks,
Raj
