BOM Construction Advice

Hey guys, new here so go easy! lol
We have had SAP business one for over a year now, and use it for SOP and POP well.
we have structured our BOM's and Items in a way which makes it very complicated, but this is the way we were told by our installer.
A breif description on how we work:
you pick a product, you choose options and add ons which substitute other standard options. Nothing out of the ordinary.
E.g you want to buy a bike, which comes with plastic pedals as standard, but you want to upgrade to metal pedals, this sort of thing.
how would you structure the Bill's of Materials suitably.
many thanks.
Martin.

It would be easier modify the BOM at entry time,  just delete the line (Plastic Pedals) off the BOM and then add  the line for the metal pedals when entering the order.
If you were to swap the pedals from an existing assembly:
Item            Desc.                                                 Qty
bk000000   Bike Generic c/w Plastic Pedals         1
bk000001   Plastic Pedals                                    -1
bk000002   Metal Pedals                                        1
so if for example, using the bike method again,
i have a BOM for the bike with 2 plastic pedals as a positive
and then a second BOM for the metal pedals with positive 2 metal pedals and negative 2 plastic pedals.
will this then even my stock for the plastic and negative my metal pedal stock?
would this be a viable route for the business to go?

  • BOM -construction

    Sir,
    We were asked to created BOM for equipments. I planned though LSMW.
    But, TL asked me to create only constructiontypes to reduce data load.
    What is construction type and where we can assign
    what is bom assembly and equepment assembly
    how to cretae the above.
    Sai meghana

    Hi ,
    Consutruction type :- To my knowledge it is Material BOM .. you can assign create a material BOM and assign that to different eqpt rather than creating eqpt BOMs ..
    Ex :-If u have 10MOTORs then u can create one Material BOM in CS01 and assign in all the eqpts ..where if ur going for Eqpt BOM then u need to create 10BOMs respective for each eqpt ..in this way u can reduce load ..
    In ie02 under structure tab - u can mention material BOM ..created in CS01 -in construction type field ..
    For defining material BOM -first create Material and then create BOM for that Material in CS01
    generally Assembly means it has further some parts inside ,example -Gear Box .. assembly

  • How to tace the change no for a certain BOM?

    I have a BOM(bill of material).and from time to time,engineer like to change the BOM by using "Change Number" ,so it is clear in the menu of T.C cs03, you can find the "change no.",but this T.C is only down to the second lower level and not down to the lowest level,
    For me, I want to export the whole BOM out and with change no. attached,then I can trace all change no. for this BOM
    Any advices are welcome
    helai

    Dear helai,
    Your question is not clear,can you please clearly explain what are you looking in using Change number?
    1.Using a Change number you can make BOM changes at single level in CS02.
    2.Same Change number can be used for making various material's BOM changes.
    3.If it's a Change number with release key,once if the release key is set for the change number ,then that
    change number cannot be used for making any BOM changes.
    4.Before setting the release key you can use the same change number for various BOM corrections.
    5.For reports check using T codes CC04,CC05,CC07.
    Please check & revert back if you need any further assistance.

  • 15" i7 Macbook Pro from early 2011.takes the mac laptop two or three tries to boot successfully. It would turn on, show gray screen, shut down, turn on again, show gray screen, shutdown, and then turn on, show gray screen, before it can finally get

    Hello All,
    I have a 15" i7 Macbook Pro from early 2011. The past few weeks, it has been getting increasingly difficult to get on my computer. It takes the mac laptop two or three tries to boot successfully. It would turn on, show gray screen, shut down, turn on again, show gray screen, shutdown, and then turn on, show gray screen, before it can finally get to the dark gray log-in screen. Even when I finally get logged in to start working, thinking it would be okay now, it shuts down randomly.
    I've ruled out the possibility of a software problem because I've just done a clean re-install of Mac OS X Mavericks on my computer just yesterday.
    I did upgrade the RAM recently, about a month and a half ago, from 4GB to 16GB, I went to the apple store four days after that upgrade to have them do a hardware test, and clean the inside of my laptop, which helped with previous heat issues. When they did the hardware test, the hardware was all registered as fine from their system.
    I've tried resetting the SMC, PRAM, and doing the internet recovery hardware test, but to no avail. I thought I could at least find out what parts needed to be replaced from the hardware test but it seems that when the hardware test is almost finished, the computer just shuts down, So I am unable to see the results.
    My computer is also having battery issues, under battery condition, it says "replace now," parts have been ordered, waiting for arrival. But if the battery health is low, it should still boot up fine, it would just hold a significantly less charge.
    Could this be a hard drive issue?
    Has anyone had similar symptoms and how was it resolved?
    Does anyone know what I can do to alleviate this issue?
    I haven't had time to take it to Apple because I'm currently taking a 21 credit semester academically. I'm an art and design student so my computer is basically the bane of my existence. Help! Any constructive advice is welcomed!
    Thank you so much for your input!

  • IPhone and iPad connected but not with iCloud??

    When I updated to iOS 6.1, I was asked if I wanted to connect all devices. My mistake was selecting yes!
    I have an iPhone and iPad I just got for Christmas; I was using the same email on both devices for iMessages but I hate receiving all messages on both devices.
    So, I tried to change my email for iMessages on the iPad but when I tried to delete my current email, I received a message that says I will no longer be able to receive emails on any device!
    How can I undo this? Please help!!

    If the process isn't finishing for you there's not a lot you can do to force it. Perhaps a visit to the nearest Genius Bar? I don't know. Sorry I can't offer more constructive advice.
    How long are you waiting on step 2? Depending on the size of your library and the speed of your internet it can take a few minutes, a few hours or even days.

  • How to use Mac Mini's and HD Freeview to capture raw TV satellite feeds in NEW ZEALAND?

    Hello, this is my first post on this kind of forum - I am not very tech savy so go easy on me! Ideally I am hoping someone can offer some constructive advice.
    I am part of a business that captures television off air as part of an ongoing contract. The system was implemented years ago and consists of 12 capture chains which are set-top cable boxes. They are a mix of Freeview NZ (free) and Sky TV (pay) - both on Satellite (Optus B1 I believe). The boxes are connected to Eye TV 250 boxes which are running through mini mac's (Mac OS X 10.5.4) that all have 1TB drives attached.
    We are capturing two hour scheduled harvest stream blocks, and editing the individual programmes out manually, for an average of 15 hours - equivalent to 27GB, per capture chain, per day. While this system works ok it is very labour intensive and we would like to make the system more automated. There are also a few issues which I would really appreciate some guidance or suggestions on:
    1/ Eye TV turns the digital signal from the decoder to analog and then back out to digital again because we are using S-video composite cables. Ideally we would like to capture HD Raw signal with little or no compression at all. We could upgrade to the Eye TV HD box but would prefer not to because.....
    2/ ...Eye TV creates a proprietary file format (Eye TV specific file) that requires exportation to play in QT or VLC and while you can export as MP4 this takes a considerable amount of time. Up to 7 hours for 1 hour of capture - far to slow for our requirements. Therefore we export as a Mpeg Program Stream which slightly compresses the file and spits out an Mpeg 2. IDEALLY we would be creating H.264 files
    3/ We can only export up to 2 hours, 15 minutes of capture (any more than that and the file goes dead (black) from that point on).
    4/ Because we are in little old NZ, Eye TV (North American) won't pick up the local EPG (Electronic Programming Guide). This means all the scheduling has to be done manually and the meta data is not captured.
    So ultimately we would like a system that captures television with little or no compression of the digital signal, in an H.264 format, with the New Zealand EPG (Electronic Programming Guide) available for both scheduling and metadata, that fits within a Mac system, is not Eye TV (or does not create software specific files) AND is cost effective.
    Goodluck.

    Hello & welcome to the foruns!
    Maybe I can help with one facet...
    Just a quick note for people who use Elgato’s EyeTV on their Macs in New Zealand. I’ve got an Automator script here that will fetch a TV schedule and load it into EyeTV. It takes care of deleting the file it downloads but you might need to open it (use the Automator program) to change where it downloads to.

  • How do i transfer pictures from my pc to my I4 phone please/

    I have just purchased an  I phone 4 and am trying to move a couple of pictures from my PC to the phone, pictures which I transferred from my old I 3. As you know, the I4 uses a micro sim card and he I 3 an ordinary one so the I3 has been turned off and there is no serfvice on it so I cannot email them to myself.
    Any constructive advice will be gratefully received.
    Regards,
    Ron

    You will have to use itunes to transfer your pictures to your iphone 4.
    First you will need to sync your iphone with itunes and then click on iphone and then on pictures and select sync pictures from(where ever you have stored them).After doing this click on apply and wait for itunes to sync the pictures.
    Thank you

    When I attempt to import the well organized Music folder located on my from C drive only 6 out 10 gigs are copied. Even worse, many of the iTune converted files are duplicates.
    It is a long process to manually identify and delete each duplicate.
    I was pleased to see that there is a view duplicate under the view tab. I was disappointed to discover there is no button to simply delete the dupes.
    I have downloaded and run the patch for Windows Vista (7.2). I have deleted all the files from iTunes and imported again. Each time I get a similar duplication problem, but how many of my songs it (randomly) downloads varies. It is always way less than I have in the windows folder.
    I am converting most of these files from .wma to mp3 format.
    Since the help line informs me that they do not support computers that run a 64 bit system is there anyone out here in cyberspace that has any constructive advice?

    Sometimes importing problems can be worked around by doing less files at a time. Try doing 100-200 at a time instead of telling it to do all of them.

  • Giving users control of their own distribution list control to add or remove external email addresses from their list

    We are a Exchange 2010 SP3 shop, we have distribution groups (with over 200 email addresses ) from another email system which has only external email addresses (i.e [email protected] [email protected]  and so on …..)
    We want to import these groups into exchange. we called microsoft, they said create mail contacts for each address and put those in a Distribution Group.  I know this will work. 
    Our goal is to have the user create / maintain / add / remove external their own email addresses  (Not the IT department)
    There must be many companies whose requirements match ours. Are there third party tools that would handle creation of distribution list? 
    Any constructive advice would be greatly appreciated ! THank you

    I wouldn't give the ability to create contacts to everyone in the environment because it will become mess at some point of time and IT will have to jump to control it
    anyway so why don’t from the start...
    I would give this to certain people like Leads or Managers of the groups under certain IT Policy so it will be still under control and people
    will think before asking their superior to create them and someone gets responsibility to manage these contacts...

  • The end of my tether

    I am hoping that Spotify actualy read some of these posts and take some form of constructive advice from them. I've been a premium subscriber for a couple of years and in the main I think the entire concept is great. However there are a few things that are agitating to the point of distraction. The latest gem is that a gift card won't redeem. I've sent an email to Spotify but so far nothing in response and to be quite frank I don't expect to get one. I think what is probably happening is they are slapping one another on the back and congratulating themselves on how much money they've made, rather than listen to what their customers are saying. But back to the gift card and why do I have to buy one? Why can't I just pay them by EFT or Paypal on a regular basis. And please don't tell you can because what they want is for you to hand over the rights to your bank account/Paypal acount which I am not prepared to do. I am happy to manage my own financial affairs thank you. So what about Spoitfy itself. Why don't they wake up and take heed of what's being said to them:- 1. Private Session. Why the heck do I want someone else to see what I am listening too. I want to turn the darn thing off and leave it off, not turn back on after 6 hours. What are they thinking???2. Connect. What the hell is that for. If my wife is litening to music in another part of the house why would I want her to have control over my music in my office. I pay for 3 offline sessions but the truth is that it's BS. You can only use one at a time which is brought about by stupidity and greed under the guise of a "good idea". Well if it is such a good idea, let me turn it off if I don't like it.3. See what your freinds are playing (Find Friends). Why? I have no care. They have their choice just like I do. What is the purpose and why can't I disable it. Why do I have a heap of fictitious faces showing what they are listening to. We all have our own likes. No  one else is going to influence me on what I listen too. Now that I've calmed down, I have the realiasation that this will go no where. Oh well I vented my spleen now I'm happy. Maybe I'll go back to CD's, at least they don't tell me what I can and can't do. Cheers

  • Can no longer digitally sign PDF's with Adobe Reader 9

    On our government network some of us have been upgraded to Adobe Reader 9 but now we can no longer digitally sign some PDF files.
    People with Adobe Reader or Pro 8 can. Here is a link to one of the documents:
    www.unl.edu/nrotc/Nc3065.pdf
    I'm also attaching the document.
    The document security shows as "Digital signing allowed" in Adobe Reader 8 but "Not allowed" in Adobe Reader 9.
    Is there something wrong with Adobe Reader 9 or something we need to change?
    Any constructive advice would be appreciated.

    I cannot say for sure, but some of the technology the government uses (like the IRS) uses older technology that is no longer support in version 9. For example the IRS tax forms cannot be fillied in and saved using Reader 9. My bet your seeing a similar problem. There is no workaround. You will need to go back to Reader 8 or get Acrobat 9 Pro or Standard.

  • HT4113 My screen in broken and I need to sync/backup my phone. Please help!!!

    My iphone 5 screen went out on me (it is blacked out) and I need to sync/backup my phone before I get it serviced for a new screen.  Unfortuantely, I am unable to sync my device to my itunes on my macbook, because it is asking me to enter my passcode to unlock my phone.  The only problem is my screen doesn't work so I am unable to do so!  I am able to call Siri on my phone, but even she is saying she cannot unlock my phone even if I verbally told her my password. I already have an apple appointment set up, but I didn't realize this question until I got home.  I understand my itunes purchases are retrievable- it's my personal photos, notes, videos etc that I am trying to save.  My cloud backup is already maxed out, but there is still more stuff on my phone to salvage.  I would like to have my phone info backed up before they fix/restore my screen. I risk losing everything! (disclaimer: My previous laptop has been broken so I was unable to do a recent backup, hence my frustration).  Please, if you can offer me any constructive advice on how to sync my disabled screen and passcode-locked phone, that would be greatly appreciated!

  • Where to find detail message flow in scenario of AQ to DB adapter?

    I have installed hub, aq and DB adapter. The repository, adapters seem to be run fine. I put some messages in AQ and found out that there were no messages appeared in DB. The messages could be found in AQ_OUTBOUND_QUEUE. Sine there is no error message in adapter log files(trace is turned on), I am not sure it's the hub problem or adapter problems. Where should i check the message flow so to decide the problem?
    Any constructive advice is welcome.

    Hi Johnson,
    Have you set the queue to the event in the deploy tab of AQ application in iStudio? If not then please set your OUTBOUND_QUEUE to the corresponding event and then do push metadata after starting the adapter. You can have a look at "Appendix A -> Deployment -> Setting Queues" of Interconnect User guide for this.

  • Some 24 fps clips playback choppy in project

    I have two Sony HDR FX1000 camcorders, which I set for 24 fps.  My first tape plays reasonably well.  The other three seem to have problems, both in the source window and timeline.  My drives are defragged.  I'm running CS5 on my Sager i7 core laptop with 8 gig of RAM.
    I am unfamiliar with the 24 fps style.  I've taped a wedding and thought it might be nice to include the feature.  Any constructive advice will be greatly appreciated!

    Here's the rub - some of my clips play flawlessly on the timeline and in the source window.  CS5 doesn't give you the option to choose between frame rates - at least not that I've found, until you export.
    There are two significant variables, it was cold, windy with showers.  I also used to camcorders.  I may have to perform some sample shots with both of them, to determine whether one has a problem...

  • Calling all video techies

    o.k. I've been nibbling at this for a while...
    I'm looking to increase the productivity of my small business (creating slideshows for funeral homes)
    Currently I have to pick up the hard copy pictures from each funeral home, scan them in, create the slideshow, burn the dvd and deliver it back to the funeral home. The lead time is often 24 hr or less.
    I'd like to create a system where the funeral home staff can scan in the pictures and send them to me. I would then create the slide show and send it back to them. They could then put it as a looping video for their customers. I figured I would send a finished DVD (label, case etc.) via mail to the customer.
    I'd like the process to be as simple as possible for the funeral homes (i.e. as few clicks to scan as possible) I'm willing to buy some hardware to get the process going so long as it cuts down the time required for the funeral homes to process the pictures and movie.
    I think the scanning of pictures will be fairly simple to work out, but the delivery of the video back seems more difficult. Ideally the video will need to be password protected and should be at least 640x480 resolution.
    My ideas for getting the video back.
    1. Send it via a video podcast- have the directors subscribe to a specific podcast. download the video to a nano and play it via composite hookups on their tvs.
    2. Leave a mac mini at the funeral home and use a file sharing to connect directly (funeral directors would then simply have to turn on their tvs and play the video with front row)
    3. leave a networked DVD burner (is there such a thing?) at the funeral home to burn a DVD remotely from my computer.
    4. send the directors a dmg file to burn to a dvd.
    I like the first two because they require as few steps for the funeral directors as possible (though they would cost a bit)
    any constructive advice or improvements on these ideas would be much appreciated.

    DUAL CHARGERS: even if you get one that claims 2A output, are there reasons why some charge slower than other non-Apple chargers or slower than Apple's OEM 2A single charger?
    This charger works well with all my Apple devices.
    http://www.ianker.com/product/71AN7105-W5A
    It will charge my two iPads, my iPhone and an external battery pack at the same time with no problems and does so at the maximum rate the device will allow. I use Apple cables as those cables will work with any USB power source.
