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?

  • BOM explosion in sales order

    Hi Experts,
    I have met a problem in BOM explosion in sales order.
    I have maintained the BOM with usage 5 and the conversion between header material and component of the BOM. But in the sales order entry, no matter how many qty I entered for the header material, after the BOM explosion, the qty of component is 1.
    Can anyone help?
    Regards,

    Hi,
    Go to CS02 and select ur bom and go to components give 1 that means 1;1
    hope u get it

  • BOM explosion in sales order for configurable materials and variants

    Hi,
    I have these materials:
    A: configurable material (header)
    B: variant material (header)
    C: configurable material 1 (position)
    D: configurable material 2 (position)
    E:variant material 1 (position)
    F:variant material 2 (position)
    I can in the sales order explode in this way the BOM (using SD01 application in the position type of the header material):
    1) A --> C+D
    2) B --> E+F
    while I can't make the explosion in this way: A --> EF and A --> CE
    is this possibile? I want to make an explosion of a BOM for a configurable material  and having variants material as sons, or having mix sons (one configurable and one variant)
    Thank you
    Sandra

    Hi Sandara,
    Just check the BOM in cs03 u have maintained !!! If u have maintain the variant material there in the config mat BOM with object dependencies than u can explode !!!!
    Please let me knwo if u any query and also if u elabore more than will help u out

  • 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.

    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 BOM explosion in Sales order item if another item exist

    Hi Experts,
    I have the following problem:
    If I have one item in sales order, it explodes multilevel and everything is OK.
    If I have 2 items in sales order,
    the first one(item 10) has to explode and
    the second item (item=20)has as higher-level item the first sales order item (UEPOS=10),
    there is no explosion.Item 20 is not in the BOM of item 10.
    I don't understand why item 10 doesn't explode  if there is another item in sales order with higher level to him. Any help please?
    Thank you.
    Kind regards,

  • BOM explosion in sales order  in variant configuration?

    Hi All,
    After searching all threads iam posting this .
    My requirement is
       In sales order the material(ZDESKTOP) which has been created in KMAT with item caragery gruop 0002(Configuration) has compenents like PROCESSESOR,DRIVE,KEYBOARD,STORAGE,MEMORY,etc where again each components have 3 varieties(values).while creating sales order the components and picking of values is running well.THE GREEN LIGHT IS ON IN VARIANT CONDITIONS.pricing is picking for variant conditins(values)
    These values are stockable items which i created as semifinished.
    item catagery TAC is determined.
    Now my problem is the values(sub-items) which are attracted pricing should reflect as sub items of ZDESKTOP.
    I have created a BOM also for ZDESKTOP.
    I HAVE GET ONLY THE PRICED VALUES AS SUB-ITEMS.
    HOW TO DO THIS SCENARIO?
    Need Help.

    Hi
    check your Item category group in material master , sales org view, if it is 0002 Configuration this material use for varient configuration, but your case it may be LUMF  (Structure/mat. below) it used for sub item price.
    It is , one of the reason.

  • Order BOM explosion in sales order

    Hi,
    Is it possible to explode order BOMS in sales order. If so how.
    Intially we are creating sales order. Then we are creating order BOMS. When i open the sales order after creation of order BOMs, order BOM should be exloded enable us to dispatch in staggared lots.
    regards,
    N. Laxman

    Hi,
    1) For the BOM to be exploded in the sales document the following customizing setting is required.
    A) If the item category group is ERLA the item category of the BOM is TAQ, in the definition of which we have to specify the value A (Explode single level BOM) in the structure scope.
    B) If the item category group is LUMF the item category of the BOM item is TAP in the definition of which we have to specify the value A in the field structure scope.

  • Sales set in Retail and BOM explosion in sales order

    Greetings.
    I configured a sales set that contains variants of generic articles and also unique articles as follows:
    Sales set: distinct code, LUMF - item category group, gets TAQ item categ in SO; it contains:
    - Var 1 of article X, distinct code, NORM, gets TAE in SO and mat. nr. and HL item is greyed out in SO
    - Var 1 of article Y, distinct code, NORM, gets TAE in SO and mat. nr. and HL item is greyed out in SO
    - unique article Z, distinct code, NORM, gets TAE in SO and mat. nr. and HL item are NOT greyed out in SO
    as a result changing Z with whatever different article is possible.
    Also the individual quantities for the components are editable: I was expecting to be able to modify ONLY the set's quantity and see the components multiply accordingly but iti is not the case.
    You can download a picture from [HERE|http://fbx.ro/5j87odrxexs3s7it]
    My question is: what settings are needed to have inactive/grayed out quantity, material number and HL item for the components of the sales set and why do I get a different behavior between a unique material compared with a variant ?
    Thank you in advance.
    Best regards.
    Edited by: Enache Catalin on Jan 21, 2009 4:25 PM - add picture

    Thank you for your patience.
    The link would have revealed that there is no visible difference between SO's made with ERLA and LUMF header material , in both the user can modify quantities, item category, plant for ALL subitems and measurment unit plus Higher Level Item ONLY for unique items(why? that was my secondary question).
    Nevertheless I tried to follow your steps and forth is what I found:
    - working in Retail I didn't use CS01 for creating the BOM; instead I defined the structure(mat. codes and quantities) directly in header material (sales set - 10 material category - in my case). I could however open with CS02 the right BOM for my sales set but only if I don't mention the plant.
    - further I used CS01 and added the delivering plant this time-> no result, the subitems can still be modified as described above...
    I must add that I tried to use for sales set both KMAT and TRGO articles...and it happens the same.
    Best regards.

  • BOM Re-Explosion at sales order created with referance to Contract

    Hi Experts,
      Need your advise in mapping below requirement.
    Our clinet is into service industry.
    The sales process is  Contract --> Sales Order --> Invoice.Currently all the services will be charged using a BOM.
    The BOM IS Created as below.
    BOM Header Material--- ABC
    BOM Components -
    ABC1
    Now because of additional tax requirements for the services we need to differentiate the services charged to the customer, thus we are planning to change the BOM Masterdata as below.
    BOM Header Material--- ABC
    BOM Components---- ABC2 , ABC3, ABC4,ABC5,
    Because of the change in BOM master data all the new contracts created will have the new BOM and its components.
    Our concern is how to convert the existing contracts. Business is asking even for the existing contracts if a sales order is created it should contain the new materials and taxes should be calculated based on the new materials.
    For the Legacy (Existing) contracts as few sales orders and invoices are created, we can not delete the old materials and add new materials.
    Is there any way to make the BOM Re explosion at sales order level .
    Ex: Conract created with old bom data and it has ABC and ABC1 materials in it, when a sales order is created system should read the new bom master data and explode it with the new materials.
    If we do it either through SAP Standard feature or by a user exit will there be any negative impacts on the existing transactions or will there be any problems as the materials in the contracts and sales orders will be different.
    Please share your thoughts and inputs on this.
    Thanks,
    Srini

    Hi All,
      When we ran the test cases the BOM is not Re-exploded in the sales order when created with referance to a contract. One  option we thought about is cancelling all the open contracts and creating new contracts for those, thus the new bom will be added to the contract. It looks very hectic as we have aroung 5000+ open contracts.
        Can any one suggest an alternative approach for this.
    Thanks,
    Srinivas

  • BOM Production in Sale Order

    Hi all,
    I have a finished good is ABC, strategy is 20 (make to order).
    I have a variant for ABC, the quantity of components in ABC is 1 pc. When I create a Sale order, I have to choose some characterristics. It depend on requirement of customer. I can see cost estimate in cost report function of Sale Order and inform to customer. My question is "if I change the quantiy of component in ABC is 2 or 3 pc, the cost estimate will be change?"
    If not? how i see the cost of order after change component in BOM.
    Thanks all

    Dear,
    I have noy fully understood your question. What I understood is you have created Sales order and then you chnaged the BOM qty of sales order BOM. Will it chnage the  cost estimation?
    It depends. If you have chnaged the BOM after sales order is created, if you go for recost run, it may change. and you may get the correct cost.

  • BOM selection in sales order

    hello, friends.
    when selecting the BOM in the sales order, the selection screen displays alternative BOMs for 1 usage type only, and will show the other usages one at a time only if the first type does not exist.  the sequence depends on the priorities (access sequence) set in IMG, and settings in item category. 
    my questions are:
    1.  does the 'next page' button in the selection screen refer to additional BOMs of the only same usage type?
    2.  is it possible to show other usage types in the same selection screen? if yes, where do we configure this
    many thanks for your inputs.

    hello, Rags.
    actually, BOM selection is working fine for us.  my question was more of a theoretical one.  to clarify the issue, let me cite an example:
    1.  for material A001, i create 5 alternative BOMs. 
    2.  of these 5 BOMs, 3 have usage type SD, and 2 have usage type Production.
    3.  when you enter your BOM header material in the sales order, a selection screen will appear.  because of the priorities set in IMG, it will show you only the 3 alternate BOMs of the SD usage type.
    3.  the system will display the 2 other production BOMs only if there are no SD usage BOMs or if these have been deactivated, or if you change the order of priority in IMG. 
    4.  you cannot change the usage type in the BOM selection screen because this field is not available for input.  there are "next page" buttons, and i'm wondering if this is or is not just for long lists of alternate BOMs with a single usage type.
    my question:  is it possible to show all 5 BOMs regardless of usage in the same list, or in different pages?
    many thanks.

  • Material BOM explosion in Service Order components

    Hi experts,
    I created a Material BOM with transaction code CS01.
    Then I try to add this BOM in the component of a service order.
    What I expected is the BOM to be exploded in the service order. But this behaviour doesn't occur.
    Do you know what I can do to trigger a Material BOM explosion at service order level.
    By the way, the BOM is not exploded after the service order (in the reservation or in MIGO).
    Thank you for your help.

    Hi Özgen,
    Thank you for help.
    Special Procurement 50 didn't exist in my system.
    I created it in SPRO for the plant with the Procurement Type F (External Procurement) and the flag Phantom Item checked..
    Then I created
    - Material A (MM01)
    - Material BOM A (CS01) with:
    -- item 1 Material B (which has Spec Proc Type 50 in MM02-MRP2)
    -- item 2 Material C (which has Spec Proc Type 50 in MM02-MRP2)
    After that I created a Service Order (IW31)
    I put Material A in the Component tab with quantity 1.
    The BOM remains unexploded.
    Did I miss something?

  • BOM Usage and Sales order BOM

    Can some one bring our the difference between BOM usage in the creation of a material bom and a Sales order BOM - To be more specific, when you are creating a BOM using the tcode cs01, I get a field called BOM usage where I can select it as 5 and define it as relevant to Sales and Distribution. I can also create a BOM which is Sales order specific using CS61 tcode. what is the difference between the two? When will the bom created using CS61 explode and when will the other one explode?
    Thanks for your reply in advance....

    Hi
    while using the material in each dept. the usage differs so for that sap provided this function. for sales bom is used only sales and also that material already exist in the plant. and mm bom the material has to procure from the some third party that all functionality will control throgh the maitaning bom usage.
    further your explanation i give below info.
    Text
    BOM Usage
    Definition
    This key defines the area (such as engineering/design or production) where a BOM can be used.
    Use
    By setting various indicators, you can define the maximum configuration of the item status and define whether an item must be or cannot be processed in a particular area (such as production).
    Examples
    A material is used in the areas production and costing in a company. For each area, you maintain a separate BOM with different items:
    Production BOM:
    This BOM contains items that are relevant to production. These items are copied to the planned order. Dependent requirements are generated for them, and they are copied to the production order.
    Costing BOM:
    This BOM contains items that are relevant to determining the material costs of a product.
    When you calculate production costs using a quantity structure, the system automatically determines the BOM and all the BOM items that are relevant to costing, in order to calculate manufacturing costs.
    pls find the config table which will give u clear picture about bom usage.

  • Sample bom creation and explosion in sales order

    hi,
         can any one help to create a simple bom with atleast one sub item for the bom and create a sales order in which the bom explodes ( i mean when u enter the main bom item it should list its sub items as its line item below it)...
    (also mention what item categories are to be taken care ... )
    rewards for sure
    thanks

    Hi MMn,
    Bill of materials (BOM)
    1. In the SAP System, you can use BOMs to represent different objects (such as materials, equipment, functional location BOMs, and documents) and to maintain object-specific data.
    2. Document BOM: A complex document may be made up of several documents, such as a program, technical drawings, papers, and photographs. These related information and documentation objects are grouped together as a unit using a document structure – a BOM for a document.
    3. Equipment BOMs are used to describe the structure of equipment and to assign spare parts to equipment for maintenance purposes. Bills of material for functional locations group together the elements of a technical structure, such as the functional unit of an entire plant.
    4. You work with order BOMs when you specially tailor the make-to-order production of your products to the requirements of your customers. In order to meet the customer requirements, sales order specific modifications to various assemblies are often required. Furthermore, assemblies are often specially constructed for a particular sales order.
    5. Before you can create a BOM for the component parts of an object, the object must have a valid master record in your system.
    6. A bill of material that you create for a material is known as a material BOM in the SAP System. A BOM explosion answers the question: What is the product made of? This question arises in various situations, such as when you want to:
    Determine material requirements for a product
    Look at the overall structure of a product in a design department
    See an overview of the parts and materials required
    Calculate the effects of changes to costs
    7. BOM is a collection of materials that make up a product. For example – computer, home theatre system. Material BOM is complex and is dependent on sales and distribution, material management or production planning.
    8. The most important rule is that the material type has to be a FINISHED PRODUCT (FERT) in order to categorise it as a BOM.
    9. BOM processing is divided into two different ways – either at the MAIN item level if the item is assembled or at the sub-item level (i.e. at the component level) if the material is not assembled.
    10. BOM is configured at the item category level (VOV7) and transaction code to create a BOM is CS01.
    11. In case of single level BOM, main item categories TAQ and TAP should represent single level BOM in VOV7 and in case of multi level BOM, the main item categories should represent multi level BOM.
    Main item level processing
    1. The material master records should have the item category group ERLA in the sales org.2 screen of the finished product. In this case, the associated sub items function only as text items, and thus are not relevant for delivery. This process ensures that pricing, inventory control and delivery processing is carried out the header level that is for the finished product only. This is mainly relevant to the assembled products.
    2. item category group – ERLA; main item category – TAQ (schedule line – CP) and sub item category – TAE (schedule line – CT)
    Sub-item level processing
    1. If the business prefers to have the sub-items be responsible for pricing, inventory control and delivery processing, the item category group should be LUMF on screen sales org.2 of the respective material master record. This ensures that subcomponents are relevant for processing. This is relevant to the products that are not assembled.
    2. item category group – LUMF; main item category – TAP (schedule line is CT), sub item category – TAN (schedule line is CP)
    Multi-level BOM
    In order to activate the multi-level BOM, structure scope in VOV7 has to be changed from single level explosion to multi level explosion.
    Try this and revert back fr clearifications
