Bill of Material Structure

Are there any negative ramifications to structuring a FERT to a FERT in a bill of material?

Hi,
There are no any negative ramifications to structuring a FERT to a FERT in a bill of material.
If your product structure is like that then you can go ahead for structuring FERT as component of other FERT in a BOM.

System did not find a valid bill of material

Hi All,
I have a requirement in which the client needs to supress the standard SAP message(information) which appears at the time of creation/change of sales order.
Message :The system did not find valid bill of material.
I am working on user exit : MV45AFZZ--> USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_VBAP.
Could you please help me with any structure/table where we can pass any parameter field in order to supress this message?
Thanks
Kishan

XVBAP for detail table
vbap for header table.
also,you need to use user

Hi ,
      Bill of material (BOM)
A list of all of the items that make up a product or assembly. The list has a formal structure and states the name, quantity, and unit of measure for each component. A comprehensive product life-cycle management solution should offer support for the following categories of BOM: feature and requirements structures, material BOM, document structures, equipment BOM, functional location BOM, sales order BOM, and work breakdown structure BOM.
Defining Bill of Materials
Use
Use the procedure to add and view Bill of Materials.
Procedure
       1.      Choose Production ® Bill of Materials.
       2.      On the Product No. field, press TAB to choose the item, which you want to define as a parent item, from the list of the Item Master records. You can also choose New on Choose from List to create a new master record.
If the parent item already has a Bill of Materials, the components are displayed. However, you can still create a new Bill of Materials for that parent item.
       3.      Select the relevant BOM type from the list as described in Bill of Materials Types.
Choose the Production type to be able to include the product in the MRP run and to process standard production orders.
       4.      Enter data for the finished product and the components. For details, see Bill of Materials Window.
If the BOM contains more than one component with the same serial or batch items; combine the items in a single component with the appropriate increased quantity. This will prevent possible errors in the batch or serial quantities.
       5.      Choose Add to save the Bill of Materials.
       6.      Choose OK.
Sometimes production gives rise to waste. If, for example, you manufacture the table, this process gives rise to sawdust.
You add sawdust as an additional component (by product). Enter a negative value in the Quantity field of the sawdust component.
When you complete and confirm the production of the desk, this component is put into stock. On the contrary, the rest of the components are removed from stock when you complete and confirm production.
Please reward if useful.

Planning Bill of Material to explode forecast in ASCP 11i.10 .

I like to know if in addition to product familly and model bill of material , the planning bill of material can be used to explode forecast to lower levels and through several levels optionally in ASCP 11i.10 ?

Yes, Planning items and related BOM structures should be supported in 11i10 ASCP. The process is fundamentally the same as it is for Model items.
A key consideration is how you want to consume the resulting forecasts. Planning items are never entered on sales orders, so you will be consuming forecast at the component level below, which are typically models.
You may also want to consider product family relationships for these items. You can consume the forecast at that level and then explode to the lower level items.
For true subassemblies or component forecasting, it is often better to use safety stock in the short term and use a demand time fence to drop the forecast for product family members during that period.

The Systems Did Not Find a Valid Bill Of Material

Hi Everyone,
when creating a sales order - with a sales bom we encounter the following message - 'The Systems Did Not Find a Valid Bil Of Material'. If anyone has encounter such a message before appreciate of you can help to shed some light. Below is the settings which I have set-up in our systems.
- When creating sales order the following error appears 'The systems did not find a valid bill of material'.
- Detail of the error message
- The item category TAQ having the field structure scope - A & Application - SD01.
The component of the bom which supppose to appear in the sales order
The item category settings.
The sales bom structure.

Hi Phanikumar / G. Lakshmipath,
I truly appreciate both your feedback as the systems which I am currently working have most of the setings either wipe off or gone for good. I may have ask some basic questions .. however please do not misunderstand me as the situation i am currently in is really in a fixed (as I have receive some sarcastic remarks).
I have done the checking and made the corrections as per your advice, however i am still encountering the same message which says no valid BOM.
Settings which I have change.

Need help - Real time Bill of Material Cost

Dear MM Experts,
I would like to know how to generate real time Bill of Material Costs for FG products. As per the limited knowledge I have, this can be done only by running CK40N Cost Estimates. Is there any way to get this information for all FG-Products through tables without running the Standard Cost Estimate?
Look forward to your feedback.
Mihir

Dear Jayaraman,
If you want to give multiple materials as the input,then you can use T code CK40N,and
execute the first 4 steps,and dont go for Marking & Release.
That's 1.selection (we select the product for which we want to do costing),
2.Structure Explosion.
3.Costing(the system sums up the materials cost and operation cost and the other Cost).
4.Analysis,Where here you will get the Standard Cost for multiple materials
and you can analyse the same.
Once if it's marked and released then Cost Rollup can't be carried out using CK40N or
CK11N,so you have to reorganise the cost estimate using CKR1.
Check & Revert back.

How to create BOM(Bill Of Material) item data from flat file?

I have two flat files one is BOM(Bill Of Material) header data and BOM item data. BOM header is already created, now I want to create BOM item data with reference to the header data. Is there any standard direct batch input method in LSMW or Is there any standard BAPI or Is there any standard BDC report program to do the task? CS01 is the TCode to create BOM.

Hi,
The DI program works for create step CS01 and not for CS02.
Perhaps this ( adding items in header by Tx: CS02 ) could be achieved by a Recording step in LSMW.

How to Block Bill of material.

Dear Sirs,
Following is the scenario.
Some of our Bill of materials are Imported. These BOM are exclusively procured to manufacture certain Finished Products.
I would like to know how these BOM can be blocked or how i can block the issue of these BOM other than those fixed to manufacture Finished produces.
FOR EXAMPLE : FINISHED PRODUCT CODE   : FG1234
                            BILL OF MATERIAL              : RMXYZ
The above BOM is exclusively imported to manufacture FG1234. This BOM may be used to manufacture other Finished products also, but this should be allowed to Issue only for FG1234. How to configure or should we have to changes in maerial master.
Thanks in advance.

These BOM are exclusively procured to manufacture certain Finished Products.
If you use MTO, then it is possible.
The above BOM is exclusively imported to manufacture FG1234. This BOM may be used to manufacture other Finished products also, but this should be allowed to Issue only for FG1234. How to configure or should we have to changes in maerial master.
If you are using MTO Scenario, then you can achieve your requirement.
If you are using MTS Scenario, Then create a separate material code for each BOM, So that You can avoid using the other production order.

WEB ADI INTEGRATOR FOR Bill of Material

I am developing a WEB ADI integrator for Bill of material upload. The integrator will populate the data in a temporary table, validate it & write the error messages back to the table . On succesful validation the data will be sent to interface tables & then to base table.
The integrator uses a procedure & sends data to the procedure. Procedure then loads data in temporary table & does the rest of work.
To do this i need to know the following thinngs:
1. How i can track the line no of Excel?
2. How do I know that all data are loaded in temporaray table because the validation & rest of work will be done once all the rows of excel are transfered to temporaray table. i.e. How do i determine the End of File in Excel?
3. How do i write error messages from the table to the excel in web adi?
Any help will be appreciated. Please send me the sample scripts & web adi developer guide at [email protected],[email protected]

If you check the XML that Web ADI generates to upload a document you will note that each row gets a row number. It would be a matter of being able to keep track of that number in your table so that when you are reporting the error back you can include that number in the message so the code in the Excel spreadsheet can assign it to the correct row.
I would suggest trying to use even some of the basic validation mechanisms provided within Web ADI, as these will automatically return the error messages for bad data to the correct row in the spreadsheet.
Web ADI will take the uploaded data, perform any validation check defined within meta-data then push the data to your Interface table. There are plenty of examples in th shipped code of product teams then using the Import phase of the upload to perform additional checks and then push the data further. But if you can utilize the existing Web ADI functionality. The data never ends up in the table in the first place to require any clean up on your part.

Error while deleting Bill of Material

Dear Expert,
when i am deleting complete Bill of Material for a plant, i am getting error as Engineering change mgmt called with data that could not be interpreted
Message no. CC092 or some times Message CC 061with diffent message
Diagnosis
You have chosen an engineering change management function.
As the function module was called with an incorrectly configured interface, the data could not be interpreted.
if i ignore this error message & save it then it will delete whole BOM. But i unable to understand why this error getting. recently we have implemented EHP-3 also for FI Module & also implement SAP Note:1278790 to resolve for BOM creation error.

Sub items of bill of material is not copying in sales returns

Dear All,
Regarding sales returns with referance to invoice consist bill of material sub items are not
copying in to sales returns order because invoice is not consist sub items of bill of material those which are relevent
for delivery but relevent for billing and pricing
For this issue make subitems of bill of material to be copied in to billing without pricing to solve the issue.
If not can create the sales returns order with referance to sales order consist bill of materials to copy sub items along
with the main item.
but client wants to create the sales returns with referance to invoice irrespective of the bill of materials
we need to customize the zprogramme to get sales order No. if invoice consist bill of material to copy sub items from sales order to sales retuns order.
With out z programme can we copy the sub items of bill of materials from invoice to sales retuns order.
But invoice consist only main item of bill of bill of material relevent for pring not relevent for delivery.
sub items are relevent for delivery but no relevent for billing and pricing.
Please provide the solution.

Hi,
Main item relevant for billing not for delivery
sub items relevant for delivery not for billing
Here you can flow sub items in to invoice but do not add item value to invoice net value
You can control this through statistical indicator in item category detail VOV7
Under business data tab Statistical value maintain X or Y
Then even if sub item have price then at invoice time it will statistical (just at item level) system will not add it in net value of invoice.

Explode Bill of Material on Purchase Order

When we create a standard NB purchase order, we would like to explode a bill of material for the 1 finished goods material and create MRP requirements for the warranty materials on the BOM. Basically, we want a requirement there so we can create a PO for these warranty materials. We have looked at subcontracting, but we are not wanting to supply these materials to a subcontractor we just want to purchase them from a vendor and bring them into our inventory.
We realize that we can explode the BOM if we start with a planned order. However on alot of occasions we skip over the planned orders and purchase requisitions and manually create the PO.
Does anyone know of a process to explode the BOM from the PO? or maybe a user exit on the PO that would allow us to do this.
We are currently on version SAP 4.6C.
Thanks,
Mark

Hi James,
As you rightly mentioned, the purpose of a BOM is to contain a list of materials. To create
a sales BOM. use T.code CS01.
Here you give the usage as 5 - indicates sales and distribution as there can be production boms also with a different usage.
After you enter inside give the components that make up your main material, say music system containing
Itemcat          material               Qty
l               2 mt wires                2
l               speaker                   2
so on, then save it.
For each of these you should have a material master created. For the main item ie., music system select the item category group as " ERLA " for header level pricing and
" LUMF " for item level pricing.
Maintain item category determinations in VOV4 as
<b>For item category group ERLA</b>
OR + ERLA                         -
> TAQ ( Header level pricing )
OR + Norm +     + TAQ (higher level item cat ) -
> TAE
<b>For item category group LUMF</b>
OR + LUMF                         -
> TAP ( Item level pricing )
OR + Norm +     + TAP (higher level item cat ) -
> TAN
This will setup the scenario you wanted. Now when enter music system in sales order with " 1 " quantity it will explode as
2 wires
2 speaker
as was the component quantity mentioned in CS01.
Hope it helps. Please reward if useful.
Thanks & Regards

LBBIL_INVOICE. Billing Data: Transfer Structure to Smart Forms

Hi...
Can u please help me out in my query regading how the data passes to
LBBIL_INVOICE. Billing Data: Transfer Structure to Smart Forms.
I have an smartform which runs through VF01/VF02/ VF03 while pressing the print preview button.
But if i try to run it directly from driver program, no data wil be displayed. Now i have the requirement to detach from VF03.. and make it to run directly from my driver program.
what shall i have to do to achieve this. Should i have to take all the internal tables saparately or else can i use LBBIL_invoice structure itself.
If i can use that structure itself, how to make the data flow into it. Pls help me.
In my codeing these includes were there. is there anything related , is the data passes because of these includes
INCLUDE rlb_invoice_data_declare.
definition of forms
INCLUDE rlb_invoice_form01.
INCLUDE rlb_print_forms.
Pls clarify my dobut...
Thanks in advance,
Hema

1. These are normal structure
2. you can use anywhere but they designed for forms currently.
3. Yes ,it works like it will look at NAST Table -> nast table will connect the TNAPR Table -> tnapr will have smart form print program.
so smart form program calls smartform and it will show output
4. you can create your own structure and use them into anywhere like report program or forms..
5. you can see example simple form name SF_EXAMPLE_01 ,program name is SF_EXAMPLE_01 ,you can design your own form and print program.
Thanks

How to get currently logged in user on 'Bill of Material' Form in Add-Mode

Dear All,
                I am using a UDF on 'Bill of Material' Form in SAP. This UDF is named as Current_User. I want in this UDF the user name that is currently logged in to SAP. I am able to get user name at form load event. But when 'Bill of Material' Form comes in ADD Mode, the user name doesn't display. What can I do for this problem.? Here is my code:
public override void Handle_SBO_ItemEvent(string FormUID, ref SAPbouiCOM.ItemEvent pVal, out bool BubbleEvent)
            BubbleEvent = true;
            try
                if ((mst_FormUIDModal != null))
                    if (FormUID != mst_FormUIDModal)
                        bool dbo_FormFound = false;
                        foreach (SAPbouiCOM.Form dsa_Form in this.SBO_Application.Forms)
                            if (dsa_Form.UniqueID == mst_FormUIDModal)
                                if (FormUID != mst_FormUIDModal)

Hi,
You need not to write any sdk code for this task. You just create a user query as mentioned above and save it with some name.
Then Open the Bill Of Material Screen, just click in the required field, then click alt + shift + f2 to assign a Formatted Serach.
Then Select 3 rd Option       "Search in Existing User-Defined Values According to Saved Query"
Then Click on the button "Open Saved Query"
It will open the Query Manager. Select the Saved Query.
Enable the Option "Auto Refresh When Field Changes"
In the Drop Down list, select the Value "Parent Item"
Then Select the Option Refresh Regularly or Display Saved Values.
This will automatically put the user code if the parent item is selected.
You an achieve this by without SDK Code.
PS:
There is a change in the Above Query:
Select USER_CODE from ousr where userid = $[USER]
