Question

Dear All SAP Guru,
In our organization we required Release strategy in BOM stage like Purchase order.Once BOM created against the SFG / FG code it is under developement fully should not available for Production use unless responsible person release the same.
Thanks In advance,

Answer 1

Dear Vijay,
Check this,
Your requirement cannot be mapped directly in SAP.Activate ECM for a specific BOM usage purpose.
1.Make ECM mandatory for all the users when creating/changing BOM.
2.Provide the authorization for the Engineering people for creating change numbers with release key.
3.Production people will be allowed to create/change BOM but not a change number ,so using the
change number let the production people create BOM,but unless if the relese key is not set in CC02
after creating BOM then the BOM will not become valid.
4.But some of the contraints are always your Engineering people should create a change number(for
changing existing BOM wihtout release key,for creating BOM with release key) in order to have the
better control.
(or else create BOM always with inactive status 2,by making the necessary configuration in T code OS28 and once the BOM is
ready,you can set the status to 1 in CS02. - I'm not sure whether this works out,check and confirm).
Check and come back with your queries.
