  • BOM Valid Date

    Hi,

    Please suggest me the T-code or any customization to change the same.

    Dear Pawar
    This are the basic IMG settings in order to used the engineering change management
    features.
    x refers to a tick.
    First setup the control data in OS54.
    Revision sections
    Fields :-
    Revision level active            x
    Ext. revision level              x
    Higher revision level            x
    Object Management Record sections
    Fields :-
    Object maintenance               x
    Assign alternative date          x
    Overide value/assignment date sections
    Fields :-
    Only with leading change mst.    x
    Setting the Revision level active is to activate the engineering change management for
    material master.  If you do not want the engineering change management for materials,
    remove the tick.
    With a tick in "Higher revision level", the new revision level has to be always higher
    than the old revision.
    Secondly, setup the external number range in OS53.
    If you use the internal number range, then remove the external number range.
    Third, define the status for the change master records in transaction SM30 - V_T419S.
    Change No.     Chg        Date Chg     Dist. Lock      Description
    Status         Poss
      1             x            x             ' '         Active
      2            ' '          ' '            ' '         Inactive
      3            ' '          ' '             x          Locked
    Fourth, define modification parameters for the BOM in OS27.
    Fields :-
    BOM Validty Maint.               x
    EC Management Active             x
    History Requirement             ' '
    Unit Piece                      PC
    The rest of the fields are blank.
    If the History Requirement is tick, every time during creation of the BOM, SAP will
    prompt your for an ECN number as is compulsory.
    Lastly, define fields selection for routing in OP5A.
    PP task lists: initial screen -> Change number -> Transaction code -> Tick Req.
    Setting the Transaction code fields Required indicate that you have make the ECN number ........
    Hope this will help you one of our friends gave me this

  • BOM Validation date

    Hi All,
        In BOM creation, the validity of all the component are from current date to the max. of 31.12.9999 but I want to have
    1. Specific Duration for Compenent of a BOM and
    2. Specific Duration for that BOM
    Can it be possible?
    Sekhar

    Dear Mr.Sekhar,
    1.As far I know I dont think we can fix the Valid to Date for a BOM.
    2.Even Using ECM you can not fix the Valid To Date for a BOM.
    3.Using with or without ECM you can change the Valid From date of a BOM while
    creation itself .
    4.If you do so then the BOM will be valid only from the date which you entered
    while creation.
    5.ECM is used only to track the Changes that happened for BOM items along
    with the date effectivity.BOM history can be obtained.

  • BOM  -  Low Validity Date

    Hi All..
    what is the significance of activating BOM Low Validity Date (OS27) ..??
    Is it required if SAP online activities are started as on date..??
    While uploading BOM with LSMW, whether we have to maintain BOM validity dates (from n to) ..?
    or system will take from date as data upload date and to date as 31.12.9999..??
    looking forward to early reply,
    LN

    HI,
    If you tick the Low Date then system will take the default date defined(which is 01/01/1900) whenever new BOM is created or edited.
    It is nothing but the lowest processing date,if this field is not ticked then system will take todays date as the lowest procseeing date
    I dont think you need to maintain them in the LSMW,you can maintain them as default vlaues
    Hope this helps

  • ALE BOM. Updates ALL! items with validity date & change no.

    Hi All,
    We are having problems where ALE-BOM sent with change in validity date (with change no) to a particular item. What happens is that ALE-BOM will instead update ALL! items with the same validity date and change number.
    Next,when we process ALE again for the same BOM with a different validity date(with change no), then only that
    particular item is updated with validity date and change no.
    Would anyone know what could be the problem that when changes are sent for the first time all items are updated?

    Dear:
                   The error itself telling you the correction. You profit center which is assigned to your cost center has a validity date less than the one you are now assigning.You can check in KE52 against the profit center assigned to your cost center master data. However the best thing is to go to KS01 and create this cost center with desired validity date.
    This will resolve your issue.

  • Validity Date at BOM componet

    Dear all,
    I'm strugling on changing the valid-to date for a BOM component.
    Let me explain in detail what the scenario is and what I've done so far.
    I have a BOM header "Z" with 5 different components, Y, X, W, V and U. Validity dates should be as follows:
    - Y --> 02.04.2010 to 31.12.9999
    - X --> 02.04.2010 to 31.12.9999
    - W --> 02.04.2010 to 31.12.9999
    - V --> 02.04.2010 to 20.02.2012
    - U --> 21.02.2012 to 31.12.9999
    I have created a change number with validity date 21.02.2012, but when trying to change BOM components validity dates fields will be grey and won't allow me to do the necessary changes.
    Could you please guide me with the necessary steps that I need to follow or where my issue would be? - I have already been checking the forum and followed some of your tips(checked config and so on, and everything seems to be ok).
    Thanks a lot in advance for your help on this one as it's quite urgent to solve this so we can test it, as we need to provide with some explamples on how material variances report will be affected to client ASAP.
    Kind regards,
    Mario

    Hi Mariete ,
    you just need to create a change number with the valid date you want for component , example if you create a change number valid from 01.01.2010 and if you use it for changing BOM , all the changes you made will have this validity date.
    its not possible to input validity dates, so all the times it will be greyed out , you can control it as discribe above.
    in you case you need to create 2 change numbers , 1 with valid from date in 02.04.2010 and use it for component Y X W and V
    and others with validity date 21.02.2012 and use it for component U.
    another thing please keep in mind if you BOM is created in todays date or date which is greater then 02.04.2010 will be a problem , so suggestion is while creating BOM , use a change number which is valid from 02.04.2010 and cause of it all 4 components will be automitacily hace valid date 02.04.2010.
    and after creating this BOM with 4 component  use a second change number and add component U.
    please check i hope it wil help you.
    Thanks

  • Unable to generate IDOCs in BD30 for BOMs because of Validity Date

    Hello everyone,
       I am having a unique issue with our Bills of Materials. After they are created and set to active, they have validity dates that go from 2001 to 9999. When I go to BD30 to distribute the BOM to the external systems I am getting the following error message:
    No bill of material exists on 08/25/2009 for 2557B27H02/FBLR/1/01
    Message no. BOM014
    Diagnosis
    You want to distribute BOM 2557B27H02/FBLR/1/01 via ALE. However, the BOM is invalid on 08/25/2009.
    System Response
    The system does not distribute the BOM.
    Procedure
    Check the BOM's validity.
    If you want to distribute all BOMs with the change status for another key date, enter another valid-from date on the initial screen.
    If you only want to distribute a certain BOM with the change status for another key date, enter another valid-from date or a change number on the selection screen.
    We get this for any BOM in this system.
    This is our QA environment and do not have this problem in our Development system. BD30 finds the BOM we specified but claims it is invalid on that date.
    We are trying to figure out if there is another status or approval step that I am missing here.

    Hi
    Enter a lower validity date like 8/25 2004 and try. If not check if there is any change management activated. Also check the ignore distribution lock. Please revert for further discussion

  • Change validity dates of BOM version

    how can i change a validity date of a BOM? ( valid to )

    Hi,
    Production Version is the one method. In prod version w can give valid from date & to date.
    So system will select the BOM accordingly.
    Another option without using Prod version Check in OS32. Define alternative determination of BOM.
    In this you can give valid to date for alternative BOM.
    Ex: MAT    alt 1   valid 10/07/08
    MAT   alt2  valid 30/12/08
    For this selection you have to select BOM selection by  - Date in MRP4 view of material master.
    So system will select the BOM automatically according to valid date .

  • Validity Date of BOM code.

    Hi,
    I need to know the tables or the functionality which can help to find the validity date of a BOM code. I am a BW consultant and have tried tables like MAST, STAS, STPO but could not find the 'valid to date'.
    Plz guide,
    Regards,
    Saurabh Diwakar

    Dear Saurabh,
    1.IF you are using ECM - Engineering Change number for BOM Creation/Change means then the valid to
    Date can be tracked.
    2.The default valid to date for any component in a BOM will be 31.12.9999.
    3.Suppose using a Change number say for EG:500000000105,if you are deleting a Component in a BOM
    means then the same details can be obtained from the table STAS.The valid to date will be the valid from
    date of the Change number.
    4.Also check this link - [Table STAS along with Change Number|Re: Latest BOM]

  • BOM "valid from date" in transaction CSKB

    The business process is like this -
    1. We create sales order ( VA01)
    2. In sales order, we enter configurable materials as items.
    3. Then we freeze/change the BOM for sales order and line item through t-code CSKB.
    The problem is in CSKB, "Valid from date" of order BOM components is defaulted using the "required delivery date" in Sales Order. We want to default current date (system date) as the "valid from date". Please suggest how it can be done.
    Regards,
    Bijay

    Shailesh,
    While creating the BOM have you used the change number ...? if yes then display that change number and check wheather do you have any alternative date mention in it.
    check validity date of change number as well as BOM validity.
    another reason can be you need to apply SAP note 1278790.

  • Change the validity date in change number

    hi team,
    I want to change the validity date of a change number from 01.01.09 to 01.03.09. I am getting an error "A BOM has already been changed using a change number with the same valid-from date as the selected date 03.01.2009".  I can change the date to before 01.01.09 but cannot after 01.01.09.
    Can you please help me.
    thank you,
    Satish

    Dear Mamiditi Satish Kumar,
    Is it a change number with release key or without release key?
    Do you want to assign a different validity date for the changes made using that change number?
    Try using alternative date field in CC02.and you have to select the object to assign the alternative date.
    Say if you want to assign an alternative date for a processed BOM,you have to select that object and
    enter the alternative date.
