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

Creation of Sale Order for configurable material with availability check.

Hi,
We have a scenario in which the material is configurable. The configurable material (X) has few variants (Ex: X1, X2, X3, X4, X5). While booking the sale order, we use the material number (X).
Further, the material planning is done for the variants X1, X2, X3, X4, X5. The standard variants are planned for production in advance.
1.     While booking the sale order, we want the availability check of the stock (type matching to happen). What needs to be done in configuration?
2.     While booking the sale order, there is a possibility that the configuration selected will not match with any of the standard variants due to some additional requirements of the optional features, in such cases how to link the standard variants to the sale order & create requirement for additional requirements.

Hi Umesh,
           1.Create material master for configurable material and variants in mm01.
           2.Maintain BOM for the configurable material in CS01
           3. Configur the variant configuration steps
              a. Create charecteristics T.code CT04
              b. Create values and assign classes
              c. assign the values to charecteristics
              d . Maitain dependence T.code CU01
              e.create configuration profile t.code CU41
              f.stimulate the configuration profile.
4. Do the availability check configuration through this path
IMG --> Sales and distribution > Basic functions ,> Availabilty check and Transfer of requirements.
5. Maintain the Availbility check field and MRP views in the material masters other wise you sit with PP people and do that
I hope it will help you

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?

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,
Danijela

Availability check in sales order for DIEN materials.

Hello,
Is it possible to make availability check in sales orders for a service material e.g.: type DIEN? How can i customize it?

The DIEN material type is not stock managed, so it does not make sense to check the availability. If you need to do something similar you could use material type UNBW, this material is quantity managed but not valuated, so maybe this can help you !

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.
Regards,
Reddyy
Edited by: REDDYY SD on Feb 4, 2009 12:51 PM

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.

Material variant replacement in sales order for Configurable Material

HI
I am using variant configuration. In this i have created material A as configurable material and have Preconfigured Material B as its variant by assigning configurable material in MRP 3 view.
Now when i am creating Order for material A i.e. Configurable material and the characteristics values are same as that of Preconfigured material system is not replacing Configurable material with Preconfigured material.
Please help me out.
Regards,
Anand.

Even after maintaining the item category MTAC(Mills Make to order config at mat level), the configurable material is not getting replaced in the sales order (va02). It is just showing material variant exists for the configurable material.
The setting in item category for configuration is.
Config. Strategy 01(Sales Order Strategy (TAC, TAM))
Mat. Variant Action 4 (Replace configurable material (Append and change))
ATP material variant 2 (Do not substitute if not completely available)
Structure scope D (Configuration, poss. with BOM explosion)
I have maintained the stock for material variant as well to take care of ATP material varinat setting shown above.
Please suggest if missing something.

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
Jan

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.

Problem creating a sales order for configurable material in SAP ECC

I have a Variant Configurable material named X.
The structure of this VC material is
Material X has charatcertics CHARCTERISTIC1 and CHARCTERISTIC2.
CHARCTERISTIC1 has values VALUE1
CHARCTERISTIC2 has values VALUE2
I created a sales order manually from VA01 using configurable material and read the values of all configuration tables to be filled from BAPISDORDER_GETDETAILEDLIST. With the help of this data i got an idea how to fill the tables of BAPI BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2. But still i am able to create a sales order but the configuration data that i give is not getting populated in the sales order.
Where am i missing. please some body suggest. I am unable to debug and searched the forums
for this information but dint find solution for my problem. some body please tell me where am i missing?
Any help would be highly appreciated

Supress VC in sales order for configurable material

Hi,
this might sound like a weird request but I am looking for a way to prevent variant configuration for a configurable material in a sales order.
For internal process purposes we would like to create an intermediate sales order with a custom document type and custom item categories.
When we create the document we reference 'real' sales orders which contain configurable materials.
When copying those items over to the new custom sales order type, I'd like to prevent the VC for this item in the new order.
The custom item category I set up is not marked as configurable (no configuration strategy/structure scope/etc...)
I tried to do this with custom code in copy control but it still is bringing up the VC screen which I want to prevent.
Appreciate any ideas which could help.
Thanks,
Markus

Hi Markus,
I believe whether the configuration screen should appear or not depends on whether the material is marked configurable or not in the master data. Therefore, it may not be possible to realize your requirement via the item category settings. You probably need to do some debugging to figure out where the configuration screen is called and then add some item category based check there.

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.
Catalin.

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?

Raghu.
