BOM Explosion in CRM5.0 sales contracts. Is it possible?

Hello CRM Gurus
We have a situation where we have downloaded sales boms from ECC6.0 to CRM5.0 as structured products...
Now I want to use this product on sales contract and based upon item category determination and other setting on item category such as all single level bom explosion, we would ideally like the BOM to explode on sales contracts.
But SAP comes back and says that they dont support BOM explosion on sales contracts but on contrary I have successfully exploded the BOM on service contract, so I am thinking there is a way to explode the BOM on sales contracts as well.
Please share any thoughts/suggestions on this topic
Regards and happy Thanksgiving to all.
Thanks
Jai

Hi Rakesh,
You can find the SAP notes in www.service.sap.com/notes. You need to have SAP OSS login id to access SAP notes.

How to restrict BOM explosion in Quotation and Sales Order

Dear all,
How can we restrict BOM main item explosion in Sales Order.
this BOM main item is having special order items which have to generate purchase requisition (item category - BANC),
with out exploding bom main item, can we generate a purchase requisition for BOM subitems, can any body explain me that how can we do that.
your suggestions will be highly appreciated.
thank you
Raghu Ram

Hi Raghu Ram,
The BOM explosion is controlled by item category.
In the item category configuration screen, under "Bills of Material/ Configuration", you can see "Structure Scope" field.
Select the one which is applicable to your case:-
"blank" - Do not explode material structure
A - Explode single-level BOM
B - Explode multi-level BOM
C - Configuration, no BOM explosion
D - Configuration, poss. with BOM explosion
E - Structure from Customer_Function (product selection)
Hope this helps

Problem in BOM explosion for a operation Sub Contract.

Hi All,
Please advise how to explode a BOM or Assign component in a Purchase order with Item category (L) for a Operation SubContract External Processing oriented material for which no material code is created from a Series Operation production order .
Actually in my scenario, no raw material component will send to the Sub -Contract Vendor. Only Assembled operation material lets say operation 20 from a routing ( which is not having material code ) from an In - house production from a shopfloor has to be sent to the vendor to create a operation 30 material , which is also not having a material code." How to explode a BOM or component allocation for the Non- codified Item in a PO".
regards,
YK

Hi
Change the control key of the operation to PP02. System will prompt u to PR data screen where u have to tick on Subcontracting checkbox. Enter other mandatory field like material grp, cost element, purchasing grp etc. On saving system will create PR with line items. System will trigger the components reqmt based on the assignment to operation. Example if for operation 20, materials M1 & M2 are assigned, then in the PR u will find M1, M2 in the component screen which u have to send to the vendor.
Hope it is clear to u.

BOM Explosion in CRM5.0

Hi,
I would like to know, can we explode BOM in CRM 5.0. Otherwise how can I tackle my situation of getting the latest product details by providing the latest KB version, KB Name & also if required Build no.
My current requirement is while going a head with follow up document of a service contract I have to check the KB version of the configurable product in the existing order with the latest KB version in product master & if the version is different I have to check whether the version change is due to description change or a major price change. So for achieving this I think I have to explode BOM in CRM at this point by providing the latest KB version & Name. Now please let me know how can I achieve this.
Your all inputs will be valuable suggestion to me.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Dileepkumar

Hi,
It seems like several things were mixed in the post. I cannot give you a full solution here, but some hints:
- the information which KB (name/version at least) was originally used, is stored with the item in the one order document. You do not need to execute configuration to retrieve this information.
- in case there is a new version, it will not be an easy task to figure out what has changed
a) in case the old build has been overwritten (bad practice in productive environment), the old KB status is lost
b) for comparing the content two KBs, there is no out-of-the-box solution
You can apply the configuration result to the new KB and look for loading messages in the configurator. Again, tricky issue
- prices (condition records) are not part of the KB anyway.

BOM Explosion Number in Sales Order

Hi Experts,
For a make-to-order case, I would like to assign a predefined BOM explosion number with fixed key date to a sales order item. Instead of manually assigning the BOM explosion number to the sales order item, is there any way to let the system automatically assign the BOM explosion number?
As I read from SAP Library under the BOM Explosion Number (Fixed Key Date), it states "The system can automatically specify the BOM explosion number when entering planned independent requirements or customer independent requirements or when entering the sales order." So is there any configuration to be done in advance to enable the BOM explosion number to be automatically assigned to sales order item?
Thanks,
SW

I tried also setting up the material and its BOM determination by specifying only 1 BOM out of multiple BOMs. Still,
1. When I add the said material into sales order line and save the sales order, the BOM explosion number value never appear automatically in the sales order line.
2. When I run the planning on the sales order through MD50, the planned results do not have the BOM explosion number attached.
I think your advice is more applicable to selection of a BOM from multiple BOMs instead of determining the fixed key date based on appropriate BOM explosion number, correct me if I am wrong.

BOM explosion not done because there is no free item number anymore

Hello,
I have a problem with BOM explosion when creating a sales order.
All the following actions are done with VA01 :
- I enter a material (main item 10) with a rejection reason, so the BOM explosion is not done :OK.
- Then I add the same material (main item 20) without rejection code, so the BOM explosion is done, it means sub items 21, 22., ...,31,32 are determined:OK
- Finally, I remove the rejection code on item 10, the problem is that there is no place anymore to do the BOM explosion because I have 12 sub items (10 +12 = 22 and it is not possible as I have already an item 20).
I have a popup with message V1-142 (There are not enough item numbers free for a structure explosion).
I know that it is possible to change the increment with VOV8, but my customer want to keep this one: 10 by 10 for main item and 1 by 1 for sub item.
He told me that he think that there is a user exit in order to put the remaining sub items at the end of the sales order like this
10 main item A
11 sub item 1 (A)
12 sub item 2 (A)
19 sub item 9 (A)
20 second main item (B)
21 sub item 1 (B)
22 sub item 2 (B)
32 sub item 12 (B)
33 sub item 10 (A)
34 sub item 11 (A)
35 sub item 12 (A)
Maybe it's a strange idea, but could you please tell me what are the different possibilities to manage sub items when there is no place to put them :
- put a higher increment in VOV8? Ok but my customer don't agree
- other solutions?
Thanks.

Hello,
Did you ever find a solution for this? The notes mentioned in the earlier post dont appear to be relevent for 6.0.
I have a similar issue when dealing with Cross Sell items. When it tries to insert the additional items I get the V1142 message, then the items are copied at the end of the list but the higher level item reference is incorrect for the cross sell items.
I do not want to change the increments but it appears to be the only option.
Any ideas are appreciated.

Under /Over Delivery Tolerance with Sales Contract

Hello All,
Overview: In our current environment we are creating Sales Contracts, then a Subsequent order from the Sales contract. We change the Sales order quantity to desired amount for the time of delivery which the customer is requesting. Also in customer master (XD02) we have delivery tolerance setup for under and over.
Question: Since we have tolerance setup for the customer. At delivery time, we picked less from what the sales order originally had and complete the whole process to billing. Does the remaining quantity go back to the sales contract? Sales order is still showing "Being Processed" Or is not possible to do that with delivery tolerance setup and Sales Contracts?
Scenario 1: XD02 - Tol. Over/Under set as 5%. Unchecked box "Complete Delivery", "Partial del. Set to "Blank" and Max Partial to "9" for Customer
Created Sales Contract for quantity 500 Tons--> Created Subsequent Sales order for 25 Tons.
Delivery: Picked 22 Ton's. Recieved Message" Underdelivery tolerance of 5.0% has been exceeded".
Completed shipment and billing.
Sales order shows "being processed" and remaining qty did not go back to original Sales Contract.
Scenario 2: XD02 - Tol. Over/Under set as 5%. Checked box "Complete Delivery", "Partial del. Set to "B" and Max Partial to "1".
Created Sales Contract for quantity 500 Tons--> Created Subsequent Sales order for 25 Tons.
Delivery: Picked 22 Ton's. Recieved Message" Underdelivery tolerance of 5.0% has been exceeded". Acc. To the partial dlv. Agreement, no subsequent delivery can take place
Completed shipment and billing.
Sales order shows "Completed", but the remaining quantity did not go back to the original Sales Contract.
Is possible to have the remaining quantity to go back to the Sales Contract without going back to the Sales order and change the quantity to what was shipped. Can this be done via configuration?
Can anyone please shed some light on this.
Thank you all,
Nav

Hi
Can this be done via configuration?
To my knowledge...definitely NO. It is not possible through configurations.
Regarding the two scenarios...you are delivering quantity less than the lower tollerance. It should not happen and if your business process demands it....there is no meaning of maintaining the tollerance limits for the customer. Since the message is a warning message, you are ignoring it and proceeding with the delivery. This message should be an error message and delivery should not be allowed when the tollerance limits are crossed.
Thanks,
Ravi

BOM explosion in CRM Service Contract

Hello
We want have a BOM explosion working in CRM for service contracts
Here are the details :
We have replicated the materials from ECC to CRM. We are not maintaining any BOMu2019s in ECC.
The idea is that we maintain the BOM Structure in CRM only, as we donu2019t want to have the Items as a billable item in a position, only for information purposes (or later on for metering)
We have maintained the product category for the header product in CRM so we are able to maintain depended components
(Relationship type SCDEC S Dependent Components (DC) )
Not we are able to assign dependent component to the header material
Item category groups:
We understand that the standard item category groups that should be used are ERLA for the header product and LUMF for the Item product.
In order to support the same functionality for the given item category group , maintained at the product level in ECC we copied the same setting for the item category group from the standard to
our settings.
Standart
Tx type Item Cat Group item category structure scope
TA ERLA TAQ A single level Explosion of Structured Product
TA LUMF TAP A single level Explosion of Structured Product
So we have copied TAQ to ZTAQ and TAP to ZTAP.
ZS01 is a copy of SC (service contract)
Tx type Item Cat Group item category structure scope
ZS01 ZLEI ZTAQ A single level Explosion of Structured Product
ZS01 LEIS ZTAP A single level Explosion of Structured Product
But when we use a header product in the service contract, we cannot see the BOM is exploding.
We have also created some products in CRM with exactly the same Item Category groups as the standard and when we create a standard order (TA) in CRM, the BOM is NOT exploding.
Questions:
Is it possible to have the BOM setup only in CRM, like we try to do it?
Is it possible to use our own item category groups in CRM more is the functionality only working with ERLA and LUMF?
Is it possible to use the BOM Explosion in Service contracts as well ?
What steps are we missing to get the BOM explosion in CRM ?
Thank you for your help
Frank

Hi,
I did work on single level BOM explosion in a couple of projects. As per SAP note 549341 - FAQ: BOMs in the sales order, it is very much possible to explode multi-level BOMs.
Check this note and item category BOM explosion options.
Do not forget to reward if it helps,

Sales BOM in a sales contract

Hello,
is it possible to explode a sales Bill of Material in a contract?

Hello David,
yes, it is. The found item category in the contract must support the BOM explosion (e.g. structure scope = 'A') and the order BOM should have the usage '3'.
Best regards,

Can anyone help?

Bom explosion in sales order mrp(MD50)

Hi Experts,
In sales order MRP i.e. MD50 Getting the planned orders for header material(Finished goods) generated but for raw materials (BOM items) Purchase requisitions are not getting generated.
Details:
Header material A and raw materials B and C.
In material B in MRP 4 coll/ind indicator is 2 And same indicator for C is blank.
Now when we are running the MRP sales order based it will generate the purchase requisition for C only but not for B.
In OPPQ we have done the setting for sales order BOM explosion.
Can anyone please throw some light what is the setting missing in customization or in front end?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Vilas

Dear,
If you select individual requirement then system will not consider available stock and generate Proposals for every single requirments. Check in MRP4 view Individual / Collective .
Also you will find PR and Plan order with account assignment of Sales order (in case of MD50).
- If you select collective requirement then system will not generate planing proposals through MD50.In that case you have to go for individual MRP (MD02 / MD03)
Please try and come back.

BOM explosion in Sales order with material variants

Dear all,
we would like to work with Variant Matching in the Sales Order. Additionaly we would like to explode the BOM....according to the SAP help this is not possible....
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_06/helpdata/en/bd/05a7d69d3211d190380000e8a49aad/frameset.htm
Does anybody of you has any ideas how and where to make this happen?
Thanks for your help and kind regards

Hi,
I have gonethrough the SAP link referred by you but never come across with any problem in type matching during Sales order even if the BOM explosion is set for Multilevel in Configuration Profile provided the other pre requisite set up was perfect.

No Sales BOM explosion via BAPIs

Hi all,
We use BAPI_INQUIRY_CREATEFROMDATA to create inquiries; however this does not explode sales BOM; rather it creates just one line for the main material.
Are there any specific input parameters that need to be modified to trigger BOM explosion in the background.
Alternatively, are there any BAPIs or FMs at least to simulate BOM explosion and return the results so that we can pass them explicitly to the inquiry create BAPI.
Or is there any other way to create sales documents with sales BOM explosion. (we can't change the BAPI as its part of the source code of a 3rd party application; but we have user exits before and after this BAPI call).
Thanks,
KC
SAP SD

Solved. Sales BOM does get exploded even in BAPIs. Checked with a different user ID and it worked. The RFC user seemed to have an authorization problem.
