BOM usage field in BOM Copy

Gurus,
Am creating production (usage 1) BOM by copy from engineering (usage 2) BOM alternative 1. Once the first alternative production BOM has been created, is it possible to create the second alternative of this production BOM by copy of the engineering BOM ?
In CS01, once the first alternative of a BOM usage exists, (for instance production) the system only lets you create the following alternatives of the production BOM usage by copy of production BOMs. Engineering BOMs cannot be refered to anymore as field BOM usage is deactivated (and value "1" corresponding to production bom usage is set), only alternative field can be populated, in "Copy From..." screen.
What is the functional reason for the standard R3 to be like this ? Are there any work around ?
Thanks for answers,
Olivier

Dear Olivier,
is it possible to create the second alternative of this production BOM by copy of the engineering BOM
in my understanding Copying Alt 2 is not possible
i exactly don't know the functional reson behind this
May be experts can throw some light on this

Combining BOM Usage

Hi,
Weu2019re investigating the possibility of combining BOM Usage P to BOM Usage 1.
Thereu2019s slightly different between P and 1 in SD Relevant.
In 1 SD Relevant is u2013 (No entry).
In P SD Relevant is . (Optional entry)
We plan to change BOM Usage 1u2019s SD Relevant from u2013 (No entry) to . (Optional entry).
Please advise if this is feasible and what're the affects?
Thanks,
Joe

Hi,
I would not recommend to make changes to SAP std BOM usage type.
In BOM usage - 1, the Sales indicator is set to - as you know, this will result in the Relevant to Sales field being greyed out at item level. If you change it to optional, then this field will become editable.
It would be better if you continue to use BOM usage P instead of modifying 1.

Costing BOM usage

Hi Experts,
Please explain me with some examples what is the use of " BOM usage (6)costing BOM".
I have the following scenario where i was trying to use the Costing BOM concept.
To produce material 'A', I need component 'B' and 10 other consumable materials.
For the cost estimation purpose, the client wants to put the consumables in the BOM.
The production of A is happening like this, Prod. Order qty of A is 100000 Meter.
The confirmation of A will be taken place partially like 500 m, 700m, 900m...etc.
When i do the confirmation, Auto GR for material A and consumption of components by 261 movement type will be taken place.
Here i can monitor what is the actual consumption of component B and i will enter during confirmation. So that i can get the Plan Vs Actual quantity.
But for consumables i can not monitor what is the actual consumption since it is very less quantity and it will be filled in the tank as a bulk quantity.
Please thro' some light on the following 2 queries,
1.In the costing BOM i will put all the consumables and in Production BOM i will put only the prime material, how to avoid the Variance during every confirmation?
2.If i don't put the consumables in the BOM, i added it in the Costing sheet, and i am issuing all to Cost center by 201 movement type. In this case how to take the Plan Vs Actual variance?
Thanks in Advance.

Dear Balamurugan,
Check out this,
Generally the Production BOM will be used for production as well as costing.Production in the sense which
will be used for running MRP or for creating a planned order or else a production order.
If you want to create a BOM for a material just for doing the cost calculation or if your company wants to
know the cost split up alone means then you can create a BOM using the usage 6,where the same will not
be considered for production that's in particular for running MRP.In case if you want to restrict that one
should not run MRP for a material which has a BOM (which has only Costing BOM) then in this case it will
be helpful.

CK11n Wrong BOM usage

Dear All,
Let me first describe the scenario:
We are in ECC 6.0 there are 3 plants.Normally Std Cost is uploaded every month we use one costing variant for all three plants.
This month only in one plant user want to do costing with BOM usage 1 earlier all other plants including this plant used BOM usage 6 for costing purposes.
Now in case of the plant which want to cost with BOM usage 1 for certain materials(lower level-X) when we run CK11n we input BOM usage and Alt BOM in the Qty Struc Tab and run this works fine and costing is done without errors.
After this step when we try to cost a higher level material (say Y) in CK 11n and input BOM usage as 1 and Alt BOM 1 in the Qty Struc Tab system gives message that for the lower level material X in BOM usage 6 alt BOM 1 there are no items relevant to costing.This means that system is again costing the lower material X with BOM usage 6 when costing Y.
Now as per my understanding this could be because of:
1)In Costing variant BOM selection ID configuration gives first priority to BOM usage 6
2)As per Transfer Control configuration "No Transfer Control"
Can somebody please suggest how this can be solved or if I am wromg with the explanation.In one line the requirement is to cost all materials in one plant(not all) with BOM usage 1 but other plant will use BOM usage 6 as earlier.
Regards
Raju

In one line the requirement is to cost all materials in one plant(not all) with BOM usage 1 but other plant will use BOM usage 6 as earlier.
I would like to ask u question first since requirement not clear.
Is the BOM with usage 6 costing relevant ?
TQ.

Universal BOM as against other BOM types

Hi,
Can any one tell me what are the benefits inter alia disadvantages of Universal BOM as against Production BOM, Costing BOM or any other BOM types
Please do not send the SAP Help Link as i already have it.
I want something structured please...............
Will be awarded suitably
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.
[SDN Thread|;
If these information are still not enough pls let me know.

Consume PIR from Sales Order when PIR's are not in BOM Usage 1

I need help determining which combinations of Strategy groups I need at the header level (Variant Config KMAT) and item level Phantoms (HALB) The Phantoms are just used to drive forecast, I have no need to issue or stock these items... just need them to be reduced when I use them in a Sales Order.
Please help me understand the planning strategy groups or the requirement type combinations on the header material and the item materials.
Standard SAP will consume the PIR if they exist in the production BOM (Usage 1).   However, due to Usage 1 having the object dependencies placed at lower levels and parameter effective, I am not able to add the foretasted assemblies to the usage 1 BOM. I have created the PIR's for these HALBu2019s using Simulative Long Term Planning.
I need a way to consume/reserve the foretasted PIR's from the sales order... without the use of the Production Order or Planned Order. I think it can be done at the time of the sales order PGI... but have not been able to figure out the configuration. Below are the main steps if the PGI is the vehicle for consumption.
Sales Order uses Configuration Profile SD01, KMAT and BOM Usage 5 items are in the found in the Sales Order.
KMAT is inactive in Demand Management (MD62).
BOM Usage 5 items have PIRu2019s, they are created from Simulative Long Term Planning.
1.     During Sales Order creation, the BOM Items are selected from VC.
2.     During Sales Order PGI, the BOM Items are consumed and show as withdrawn in MD623/MD73.
     Sales Order Reservation and/or Consumption of Item Level Planned Independent Requirements
     ***PIR's are not found in the Production BOM, only the Sales BOM.
     ***Production BOM and Sales BOM have same KMAT, and same Object Dependencies
     Step 1:     Create Sales order for KMAT 10000008
          a. Sales Order will have KMAT at line item 10
          b. Sales Order will have BOM Usage 5 materials as items (see BOM's Below)
          VC will pick the specific materials that are relevant to order
     Step 2.     Sales Order is Saved/Confirmed.
          a. A reservation will be created against the Planned Independent Requirements for Sale BOM Items.
          MD73 for the HALB will show the Planned Independent Requirement, and the Reservation.
          b. A Planned Order is created using BOM Usage 1.
          VC will pick the specific materials that are relevant to order
     Step 3.     Production Order is completed and issued to Sales Order.
     Step 4.     Sales Order Delivered with PGI
          a. The HALB PIRu2019s in the Sales Order will be withdrawn (reservation goes away, PIR qty reduced by 1 PC).

You can manage copying data from the sales order to the production order by some FMS.
For data not in the production order you can define UDF-s on the production order.
E.g.copying the item code you can use this FMS:
SELECT T0.ItemCode
FROM RDR1 T0 INNER JOIN ORDR T1 ON T0.DocEntry = T1.DocEntry
WHERE T1.DocNum =$[$32.1]
      and T0.VisOrder=0
connecting this to the Product No. field setting autorefresh when Production Order Origin Number changes.
Or copying the Item details you can use this FMS
SELECT T0.Text
FROM RDR1 T0 INNER JOIN ORDR T1 ON T0.DocEntry = T1.DocEntry
WHERE T1.DocNum =$[$32.1]
      and T0.VisOrder=0
connected to an UDF setting autorefresh when Production Order Origin Number changes.
(And similar other FMS-s can be connected to other fields you want to copy.)

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.

BOM usage customization

Could someone help me to customize the BOM usage?
We want to set always the costing relevant indicator
- when a BOM is created in a specific usage and
- when a BOM is copied from any other BOM to that same usage.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks, but I need some more info to solve the problem. Could you explain how I have to set the different indicators.
Example : in "Defaults for Copying item statuses"
There is a "Relevant" column with fields that can be left empty or marked with 'X'. What is the meaning of this indicator when it is marked?
Does it means that the value of the Costing relevant field will be copied from the original BOM or does it mean that this field will always be set to 'X' in the new BOM.

For LUMF - BOM, Plant field in Sales Order should be editable for TAP

Dear Gurus,
I have the following requirement.
Requirement...
TheComponent level BOM (LUMF) should be exploded in sales order with one by default plant when iI enter the main component in Sales order but if I want to change the plant of main item manually system should allow me in order change mode. And this changed plant to be determined automatically for all the components of that BOM.
As we know if we maintain the BOM at component level we will use the Itm Catg Grp "LUMF" so the pricing will be determined on the component level.
In CS01 we maintain the BOM for a main item. I have followed the same process in CS01 by entering Main Item material, Plant and BOM usage (5). whenever i enter the main item in sales order it explodes correctly with components, quantity and Plant.
The Plant field for main item (TAP itm Catg) becomes gray. But now my query is that if I want to change the plant of main item system is not allowing me as I have created BOM for a specific Plant. Same Bom I have maintained with other plants also
I know that We have one more option in CS01 like we can create a BOM without entering Plant also. But before I doing it for trial and error I want to know whether it will work for my latest requirement.
And what is the Group BOM ? how to use it? will it be helpful me in this requirement?
Please help me for the issue, I need to configure it as soon as possible.
regards,
Vojas

Dear Kapil,
Thanks for your suggestion i followed it also but yet I am facing the same problem.
I did as follows
I extended the Main item and components to the different plants.
And also created the same BOM for different plants in CS01.
After doing this if I create a Sales order and enter the Main Item with quantity system asks me for the Plant to explore the BOM, as i enter a plant BOM get explodes and the plant for main item becomes gray which i dont want. Any how I want the this plant field for main item in editable mode.
Let me explain my requirement in short
I maintain the LUMF BOM (Pricing at component level) .
once I enter the BOM material with quantity system should explode the bom with one plant by default. and in change mode of sales order the Plant for main item should be editable instead of gray mode. Becoz decision can be changed later on the delivering plant location.
Please suggest me. Its a high priority issue for me.
regards,
Vojas

Want to change BOM usage from production 1 to design 2

Dear Experts ,
Is it possible to change BOM usage from production 1 to design 2 ? Any mass change T code ?
Neal

If I make BOM universal , I need to ,make alternative BOM as Engineering BOM will have several levels and production BOM has all the components and assy on single level .
MRP might pick up wrong BOM .
Is there any T.code by which we can make mass copy or change BOMs . AS in system there are many BOMs which needs to be copied as is with new usage .
Neal

BOM usage change

Dear Friends,
How can we do the BOM usage change... without creating a new BOM with new usage. For example I have created a BOM with usage 1 (Production). This I want to change to usage 6 (Costing). How can I do it.. it is possible? or not?
Regards,

Hi,
First you need to create new BOM which is relevent to costing by copying the production BOM after that you can delete the production BOM.
Apart from archiving you can also simply delete the BOM by going in change mode -CS02,material -->Delete
OR,
Please check transaction codes CS26 and CS28. And There is one more function module to delete the bom with histoty.CS_SF_BOM_DELETE_FOR_ARCHIVE.
Hope clear to you. Reward if useful.

Order of Priority of BOM usage

Dear All,
We are using the BOM usage 1, 2 and 3. For the BOM usage 1 we have the selection 01 and we have the 1st priority as BOM usage 1
and I have created the selection ID as IN in which the priority 1 and BOM usage 3.
We have created the BOM with usage 3 for the material V1.
When I tried to create the routing when the system is exploding the first level and if we have phantom it is not exploding.
But I tried to change the priority of seleciton ID 01 priority 1 and BOM usage 3, then in the routing the system is able to explode the phantom as well.
Pls let me know what could be the problem. I want the routing

Hi,
This might be because of conflict btwn t BOM usage 3 and routing usage 1 . Try using usage 3 as mentioned by other member
and assign the priorities in fli-flop way.
Also,In routing header, check up the usage mentioned. Maintain the usage as "3" in this field so that you can get the data as per your requirement.
Cheers
Chandra

Comparing the BOM usage with the actual usage for materials.

Hi All
My client want to compare the BOM usage with the actual usage and have a report for this within a period? More specified they want to calculate the BOM usage, based on the requirement quantity from confirmation - but with out the scrap %. mulitplied with the confimed quantity of the header material.
The actual usage should be based on goods issuing from stock, either as goods issue to order (backflushing) or as goods issue to cost center.
I havent been able to indentiy a standard report for doing this - does some of you know a standard report?
- I was thinking of the following method:
Look at tabel RESB and compare it with MSEG, but I have some diferent problems with this.
- In resb there is no qty before scrap.
- The data amount from MSEG, is so huge so it is not possible to make a data search for a whole period (eg. month)
Br. M

There is one std report MCRX which gives a comparison of quanity in order and actual consumption,
if it doesnt meet your need, you may have to create a custom report.
logic can be find the quantites as per BOM for the produced quantities
issued quantities to the order
tables you may need are AUFK AUFM
AFKO, STAS STPO
MSEG, MKPO
JEST ( if you want to filter using order status)

MRP run for header material with bom usage-3

Dear All,
We have header material with bom usage-3.We maintain the stock at child components only ,not at header
I have created the planned independent requirement for header material.I have created a sales order but sales order is not shown in md04.
What can be the further setting I am missing for mrp run of above scenario.
with regards,
pradeep

Dear ,
Couple of checks points for you :
1.Check the material master Sales Org Veie-Item Categoery .As you have mentioned Item Categoery -TAQ which is not relevent for requirement planning throgh schedule line category -CT ( CT means there will not be any inventory or good movement and requirement will not be passed for MRP ) .Only CP -line item categoery does requirement passing through MRP and it will show u in MD04. So the summery is if you want to generate an MTO order for the same FG material , you should matian the Sales Line item categoery as MTO in sales Org View and it will pop up in VA01 whiel logging Sales Order .
Generally , TAQ item categoery are used in Project Billing or Delivery .ok and they will not be having any availabilit check so it KP ( no check ) .
But for MTO order , you should have availablty chek 02/01 in MRP3 view and also MTO Sales Item categoery .
Based on the above information logg an sales order , release credit chek in VKM3, SAVE and check in MD04.
Create PIR in MD61 and Run MRP on the both cases .I have tested its working .but noit with TAQ item categoery ok
2.Why do you need to create Sales Order for dependent Item-Y because it will be in X-BOM item ? Make sure that Y- should have Sales Item categoery in material master -MM02-Sales Org View as NORM item .If you really want to create sale sorder for this item , it should TAN or NORM .
3.Other PIR detail is fine .
Try and revert back

BOM Usage

Good Day.
I have a scenario as follows:
FERT: 1001
ROH: 2001
When I create sales order for FERT 1001, when I run MRP, I want the system to create planned order or PR for ROH 2001, same quantity as 1001.
Let me know which BOM usage should I use?
We will not use PP/production order for this. Just Sales Order and Purchase Order.
Thanks,

I think you need a production BOM and a production order. Then the production order transfer the requirment to the ROH material.
