BOM type assistance

Is there a place that I can go to find out clear information on the differences in BOM types such as when to use a 1. Manufacturing BOM as opposed to when I should use a 2 Engineering BOM. I am VERY new to this and want to make sure that I am using the correct BOMs! Thanks in advance

HI Krishna
You Have Only One Option Which IS Production BOM
The Production Bill of Materials (BOM) represents a finished product (parent) comprising different inventory components (children). During the production process, you turn the components into the finished product. Select the Production BOM to include the product in the MRP run and to process standard production orders.

Error retrieving BOM type from sales order line matrix

Hi All
I have a problem with an add-on which works in SBO version 2007 but now fails in version 8.8. The fault occurs when the code attempts to retrieve the BOM type from the sales order line matix as follows:
objCombo = mtxOrder.Columns.Item("39").Cells.Item(intCount).Specific
strBomType = objCombo.Selected.Value
Where mtxOrder represents the sales order line marix extracted from form type 139
Under version 8.8 this code generates an error "unable to cast COM object ... to interface type SAPbouiCOM.ComboBox ....". If the code is replaced by the following, the error does not occur.
objEditBox = mtxOrder.Columns.Item("39").Cells.Item(intCount).Specific
strBomType = objEditBox.Value
Any assistance or explanation would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
David

It just looks to me like it was a combo box in the 2007 version and has been changed to just be an edit text in 8.8... from what you have explained anyways, that seems to be what is happening. Sometimes there are small changes like this - it's better to directly access the datasource so you can avoid being hit with these sort of changes
so for example
strBomType = oForm.Datasources.DbDataSources.Item("RDR1").GetValue(TreeType, i);
//where i is the linenumber-1 in the matrix

Type assist in dropdown menus (JS CS3)

Hi --I have a script that creates a dialog with a dropdownlist (using scriptui).
I have noticed on my Mac (OS 10.5), that when I click on the dropdown menu and start typing, I am brought to the corresponding item on the dropdown list -- which is nice because it is a long list.
However, this type assist function does not work when I run the same script on a Windows XP box.
Is there any way to enable this when running a javascript on a Windows XP box?

There's a few extensions that have caused that problem for other users.
Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

Usage of BOM Type=Shop Order

Hi,
I have noticed that, in SAP ME, I have the possibility of setting a BOM as Type=Shop Order.
In the help I have read that this makes some checks in the background of the system when a
BOM is transferred from SAP ERP.
Can I use this BOM Type also if I am transferring BOM's from a totally different ERP supplier?
Our current ERP interface is today transferring only Master BOM's with Web-service, but we
plan on starting using Shop Order specific BOM's in the near future.
Best regards,
Johan Nordebrink

Hi Alex,
From the SAP ME Help:
"BOM Type
During the import of a Production order coming from SAP ERP, the system
compares a Master BOM with the Production order BOM.
If differences are identified, a shop order-specific BOM is created. If an SFC
number of a shop order has specific component specifications, an SFC BOM is created.
Note that an SFC BOM takes precedence over a Shop Order BOM and then a Shop Order BOM takes precedence over a Master BOM"
When it says "the system compares", is this something that happens always by default in the BOM web-service when a BOM is transferred even though it is not imported from SAP ERP?
Best regards,
Johan

Universal BOM as against other BOM types

Hi,

Thanks in advance
Surya

Hi Suryanarayana,
By means of BOM usage, you can manage separate bills of material for various internal organizational areas (engineering/design, production, costing, and so on).
The main differences in the BOM structure result from the different responsibilities in the various organizational areas, which all process different item data.
Prerequisites
In Customizing for MRP, you have defined a sequence for the possible BOM usages for each plant in the IMG activity Define BOM and routing selection using the BOM selection ID.
Features
The system first searches for a valid BOM or alternative BOM for the BOM usage with the highest priority. If the system does not find a valid BOM or alternative BOM in the selected BOM usage, then the BOM usage with the next-lowest priority is selected. The system then looks for valid BOMs for this BOM usage.
Many companies have only one universally applicable BOM structure for all areas of their company. This structure usually takes the form of complete single-level BOMs, created in the design department, and used in both material management and the assembly workshop.
The R/3 System allows you to maintain individual BOMs for any area of your company. These BOMs are maintained independently of each other and are assigned different internal BOM numbers. In this way, each area is only dealing with the specific data it requires.
In Customizing for Production, define individual BOM usages for the different areas within your company by choosing Basic data ® Bill of Material ® General data ® BOM usage ® Define BOM usages.
You can define BOM usages for the following scenarios:
You maintain separate BOMs for different areas within your company, such as design or production.
You create just one BOM for all areas within your company.
Though you have strictly intimated us to not past any sap link but believe me pls go through it will surely help you.
BOM Catagories
And now the second link is not any help document it having a tonne of information regarding SAP Bom usage and is SDN Thread so I am sure you will go through this one atleast.

If these information are still not enough pls let me know.

Template BoM Type - hide comp

Hi,
Currently on the Sales BoM Type has the option of being able to hide the components. Would it be possible to implement the same for 'Template' type?
Thank you,
Heather

Hi Heather,
I am sorry to say that currently it is not possible to hide BOM components in the document.
As a workaround, by following the below steps it is possible to only
print the Parent but not the Child items for BOM:
+ add the following fields to the Repetitive Area of the Print template
Data field
    Object Properties
    ~ General Tab
      untick "Visible"
    ~ Content/Data Tab
      File: A/R Invoice - Rows
      Field: BOM Type
Textfield
    Object Properties
    ~ General Tab
      untick "Visible"
    ~ Content/Text
      I (I is the attribute for Child items)
Calculation field
    Object Properties
    ~ General Tab
      untick "Visible"
    ~ Content/Calculation Tab
      Type:      Formula
      Field 1:   the newly created Datafield
      Operation: Not Equal
      Field 2:   the newly created Textfield
link each field in the repetitive area e.g. Item No, Item Descript.
    with the newly created Calculationfield
    e.g. Item Desription/Object Properties
         General Tab
         Link to Item: enter the Exclusive No. of the Calculationfield
Go to Document Editing, click on 'Repetetive Area' and to check the
'Area Height Ajustment' box in the 'Format' tab. All the empty rows will
disappear from the Invoice.
Hope this helps.

BOM Makeup in BOM type PCM Model

Hi Experts,
We are building a BOM Model type PCM model for our client. We have a requirement where the BOM Makeup is only available at a Production batch size level and not on per unit of finished good produced. I have tried to explain the scenario below:
Batch Prod Size 100 units
RM1 per 100 units   10 units
RM2 per 100 units   7 units
PM1 per 100 units   15 units
PM2 per 100 units     5 units
Routings
Labour hrs 100 units of prod - 15 hours
Machine hrs 100 units of prod – 15 hrs
However when we look at the Bom Makeup in PCM it only allows for BOM make up to be setup for one unit of FG Production. Please let us know
if this is a known limitation of tool or there is a way to handle this situation.
Note the BOM Make up and routing information is only available at a batch size level and not at per unit level. We would not like to set this up in PCM by arriving at the BOM Make up and routing from batch size i.e (RM1 =10/100)
Any suggestion on guidance on achieving this would be really helpful..

Universal BOM type in CRM sales

We are going to use in ECC bill of material usage type 3 (universal), with some line items indicated relevant for sales and some other indicated relevant for production.
Can we interfacing (RFC) this bill of material usage type and only the line items relevant for sales to CRM sales?

Hi,
In CRM you can use so called structured products. This functionality works only for usage 'Sales and distribution' (usage = 5 in ERP). The usuage type 3 Universal is only available in ERP but cannot be used in CRM.
Online documentation for the scenario in CRM you find under following link:

BOM Type

Hi all,
Is there any way in B1 2007 to create BOM which will split one product into several products. This is in Mining Production.
Regards,
Bambang

Could you consider it is a by product ?
if yes, try to follow this suggestion:
Sometimes during the production process by-products are created. By-products can be added in the Production Order as a negative quantity. When the production process is completed, by-products will enter the stock. The issue method of by-products has to be
Backflash.
if still unresolved, let me know

BOM Type Problem

we created bom in which parent item is sales item and it is having 2 sub components i.e. both subcomponets are sales ,purchase as well as inventory item.
If subcomponets quantity in stock is 2 but we are making sales order from salesBom for 3 items....it is not showing error message that quantity 3 is not available it exceeds the inventory value...
Thanks
neetu

yes i m talkimg about child items availability check..
Because we are not maintaining parent item as inventory item but child items are inventory items.If we are creating SO from sales Bom with quantity 3 the child item quantity also 3.
But stock quantity of child items is 2.why it is not showing availability check for child items.
How we can do it..
Thanks,
neetu

User exit for BOM

hello,....
problem: using BOM in VA01...for free goods material.....
I am working on user exit for BOM...I need to write a code in FV45SFCO_CONFIGURATION_SET_STM under this we have call customer funcion '003'
if we click on this we will enter in include ZXVVAU12.....In this including I need to write the code(user exit) by using XSTB table and the values in that table I have to populate in XVBAP.......for the BOM Explosion........when we use VA01......
so please tell me how can i write the code in that exit ...by getting the data from XSTB to XVBAP........by using the field STLAL (It is Alternative BOM in BOM Screen)...for example if I select '05' (stlal) BOM type.....the values in XSTB populate in XVBAP...
anyone help me on this........
Otherwise give me any other sample code for the userexit BOM so that I will learn...a lot from that....
Thanks in advance,
Madhu

Hi Madhu,
You can try something like this to read XSTB in user exits EXIT_SAPFV45S_003.
DATA: XT_XSTB LIKE STANDARD TABLE OF SDSTPOX WITH HEADER LINE.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <XSTB> TYPE TABLE.
DATA: FIELD_NAME(30) VALUE '(SAPFV45S)XSTB[]'.
ASSIGN (FIELD_NAME) TO <XSTB>.
XT_XSTB[] = <XSTB>.
READ TABLE XT_XSTB WITH KEY STLAL = '05'.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
.... <--- your logic to move to VBAP
ENDIF.

How to explode a BOM in sales order

Hi,
We have the following scenario.
Product 999 is made by putting together cases of the products 12345 and 8888. The packaging for 12345 and 8888 is not altered but they just take 4 CAR of 12345 and 8 CAR of 8888 and put them on one pallet and that makes a 999.
We get a sales order from customer only for 999 and we would like to have something happen automatically like BOM explosion ( this could be also a trigger when a background job is run) and the sales order should get the relevant qtys. of 12345 and 8888 in the same sales order along with 999.
I was searching in internet and I found that we can use item categories to achieve this. Can some body advise how to do that?
main questions around this are what are the item categories I need to use, what is the BOM type to be created etc...?
Thanks.

Hi,
Maintain iteam category group in material master as per u requirement
ERLA - Structre Material above (Price at main item level)
or
LUMF - Structure material below(Price at each item level).
Now in t-code VOV7,
Select higer level item category which you are dtermining mostlt
TAP or TAQ, go in details of item category
under bill of material tan/configuration maintain APLLICATION - SD01
Now create Material BOM by CS01.
It will explode in sales order.
