Question

Hi,
I need to display the alternative BOM entered in the selection screen even if the entered alternative is inactive. i.e. status is inactive. i have used FM - CS_BOM_EXPL_MAT_V2.
Kindly advise.

Answer 1

Using Function module  CS_BOM_EXPL_MAT_V2
As already has been said, the RNDKZ field is used for rounding. If you fill with '1', it will never round.
Example (the problem I had):
Material A consist of et al. 0.008 piece Material AA.
Material AA consist of 1.0 pice Material AAA,
                              of 7.0 piece Material AAB,
                              of 6.0 piece Material AAC,
                              of 12.0 piece Material AAD.
CASE 1: You fill RNDKZ field with '1':
You get the correct result which is:
You need for producing 1 piece of Material A
0.008 piece Material AA,
0.008 * 1 = 0.008 piece of Material AAA,
0.008 * 7.0 = 0,056 piece of Material AAB,
0.008 * 6.0 = 0,048 piece of Material AAC.
0.008 * 12.0 = 0,096 piece of Material AAD.
CASE 2: You let RNDKZ field blank.
In your user profile for BOM  field "Round of" is set to blank (table field TCSPR-AMEKZ, TA S_ALR_87004496).
You get following result (which is wrong)
You need for producing 1 piece of Material A
1 piece Material AA,
1.0 *1.0 = 1.0 piece of Material AAA,
1.0 * 7.0 = 7.0 piece of Material AAB,
1.0 *  6.0 = 6.0 piece of Material AAC.
1.0 * 12.0 = 12.0 piece of Material AAD.
The number of decimals is seen depends as well from how many decimals is set for unit of measurement. In this case the number of decimals for "piece" was set to zero. (TA CUNI).
If you let the field RNDKZ field blank, the user profile field "Round of" (table field TCSPR-AMEKZ) is used.
