Component Allocation in Routings

Hello all:
what is the essence of component allocation in the Routings(CA01), especially if we have
more than single operation for the given material
If component allocation is not maintained, how it affects the production cycle
Thanks in Advance!!

Hi Eshwer
It all depends on the business requirement/scenario
Suppose if there is a phantom assembly in your BOM and they will be used only in the second operation then you can inform the same to the system by means of allocation to the operation
By means of allocation automatically all the components of the Phantom assembly also gets allocated to the second operation
it helps the back flushing process too
It doesn't affect the production cycle but rather it helps adding more information and makes production process much easier
Even if you don't maintain this System will automatically assign all the components to the first operation(aas you might be already aware)
SAP has provided this feature as a standard functionality,for some it wont be of use,so you dont need to use if it doesnt make sense to your requirement
Please check the below link for more details

Component allocation in routing

In CA02 (Sales order routing) when I go to component allocation more than once then i get following message. It is ok that you only go once in component overview??
Component overview for routing cannot be called up
Message no. CM022
Diagnosis
You want to call up the component overview for the selected routing (group 50000637, counter ). However this is not possible, because earlier you clled up a material component overview for another routing that had the following properties:
It belongs to the same group as the routing you have now selected.
It has been allocated another material or material BOM as the routing you have now selected.
Procedure
As long as you do not call up the component overvierw for the selected routing, you can go on working as usual. To call up the material component overview, proceed as follows:
1. If you have made any changes in the selected plan that you want to save, do so.
2. Cancel editing the routing
3. Start editing routings with the selected routing (group 50000637, counter ) and call up the material component overview

all u have to do is, go to ca02 operation overview. highlight the operation and click on component allocation. there u can see assignment tab. click on that and assign the components from the bom of that header material. it is as simple as this. dont forget to save the routing at the end.
pls try this and come back with more clarity.
cheers

Component allocation in the Routing "BAPI_ROUTING_CREATE"

Hi,
I am using the BAPI "BAPI_ROUTING_CREATE" to create a Routing. It works fine creating the operations, Component allocations and updating the Header data Information.
The Problem i am facing is with the allocation of components with Phantom assembly. Can any one help me in passing the Parameters to the BAPI to allocate the components with the Phantom assembly.
Thanks

Hello Nagasekhar,
I am not able to create operations even.
can you please help me out.
i create routings from the data available in file uploaded from system.
i am able to create the routing.
if i give group number only on the first screen of CA03 its showing the task.
But when i give material and plant its saying the Task doesnot exist.
And when i see the operations then it shows nothing.
can you send me your code to [email protected]
Please help me in this regard.
thankyou.

Component Allocation Mass Change

Is it possible to mass change, say the backflush indicator, in CEWB for component allocations? If not, any other suggestions?
Regards,
Luiz

Ashok,
Since this deals with routing for configurable material with average of 1500 to 1700 component allocations, I thought CEWB would be the tool to use. But I find no mass change capabilities in the Component Allocation view. Do not know of any other mass change transactions for routings dealing with component allocation.

BAPI_ROUTING_CREATE / Material Component Allocation

I'm using BAPI_ROUTING_CREATE in my own BAPI to create routings. The routing is being created when I turn off the component allocation table and all is fine. When I turn on that part, I get an error that states: A CMCL 105 Sequence or Operation are not contained in worklist or are invalid.
In the BAPI1012_COM_C structure I'm sending:
Activity(operation) of '9000',
Backflush = 'X',
Sequence_NO = '0',
Valid From Date and
OPERATION_ID of 'VORG9000' per the documentation.
I tried a sequence number of '1' and that didn't help so I'm led to believe it's something wrong with my OPERATION_ID.
Anyone have some ideas as what could be wrong given the information provided?
Thanks,

Problem in BOM or component allocation for the Non- codified Item in a PO.

Hi All,
Please advise how to explode a BOM or Assign component in a Purchase order with Item category (L) for a Operation oriented material for which no material code is created from a production order .
Actually in my scenario, no raw material component will send to the Sub -Contract Vendor. Only Assembled operation material lets say operation 20 from a routing ( which is not having material code ) from an In - house production from a shopfloor has to be sent to the vendor to create a operation 30 material , which is also not having a material code." How to explode a BOM or component allocation for the Non- codified Item in a PO".
Kindly give me the IMG settings for the above scenario.
regards,
YK

Hi Prasobh,
Tnx for your suggestion. But, the client external processing routing is not constant activity . Based on the Operation bottlenecks client is sending the operation as external Processing. For Eg., If on first order operation 20 be external , Then in second order operation 20 need not be external. operation 30 may go out for external processing. Client does not want a material code for each operation.
Give your valuable suggestion.
regards,
YK

Very URGENT : BAPI_ROUTING_CREATE Component Allocation

Hi All,
I want to create a routing using BAPI. I tried using BAPI_ROUTING_CREATE, it is creating operations without any problem.
But when I want to assign an Operation/Activity to a Component through New Assignment in Component Allocation through BAPI, it is not assigning.
Please let me know what fields should be passed to the Component Allocation Table in the BAPI.
Please help me as it is very URGENT.
Reward Points for useful answers
Thanks,
Harish

Hi,
The componenet allocation will take automatically if you have the BOM created for the Material for which you are creating the Routing.
It will not add the new components.
i too tried but lot of problems with this BAPI.
I prefered recording.
Reward points if it is helpful.

Error in component allocation in BAPI_ROUTING_CREATE to creae routing

Hi
I'm using BAPI_ROUTING_CREATE to create BAPI with component allocation. But my problem is I'm able to create operations but not able to create component allocation. The BAPI is giving me success message, but not creating component allocation.
In the table BAPI1012_COM_C, I'm populating the following fields:
GROUP_COUNTER
VALID_FROM
VALID_TO_DATE
ACTIVITY
BOM_TYPE
BOM_NO
ALTERNATIVE_BOM
ITEM_NO -> value is POSNR field of STPO table
BOM_TYPE_ROOT -> value is same as BOM_TYPE
BOM_NO_ROOT -> value is same as BOM_NO
ALTERNATIVE_BOM_ROOT -> value is same as ALTERNATIVE_BOM
Routing is being created successfully without component allocation.

Retrieve info of Component allocation(Tcode :CA03)

Hi,
When displaying a routing using CA03 and going to the Operation Overview screen,there is the option to choose the Component Allocation button for a Activity shown on the screen.This displays the component allocation details.
Is there any function module which would give component Allocation information(Path,level,component,operation number and sequence) that is shown on the CA03 Material Component Overview screen.
Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated.

remember that all operations need not have components assigned to them hence the LEFT OUTER JOIN.

Component allocation to Euipment Task list

Hello frinds,
I have a query related to Plant Maintenence.
We have a euipment task list with different counters . In each counter we have operations and components assigned to those operations.
When order is created some of the operations are not getting copied and hence few components as well.
Please tell me tables where i can find the allocation of compoenents to operations.
Thanks
Rohit

Thanks Mahee,
The table i was looking for is PLMZ (allocation of components to operations)
I found that deletion indicator is set for certain operations in PLMZ and those components are not picked which are assigned to operations with deleltion indicator (LOKEZ-PLMZ).
Can any one tell me how this deletion indicator is set for component allocation to operations and how do i remove this ?
Thanks for help.
Rohit

Component allocation changes in routers

Does anyone know if components allocations in a router can change without making the change in the router. My users are stating that they have a printout in October with the component allocations being one way and then in December they changed. However, they are stating they never made the change in the router. So how is this possible. Because there is no change log in the component allocation section of the router Im having a difficult time proving to them its not the system and its a user error. Any suggestions?

Hi,
If the routing is changed in the production order (by T-Code CO02), it wont show in the CA61 or CA60.
Also the initial data of routing will not be changed. May be because of this only you are not getting anything in the log.
Regards,
Rohit.

Component allocation

Hi ,
I was asked in one interview, "What is the difference between component allocation & material allocation?".
Component allocation means, allocation of components to various operations in a routing or production order.
Material allocation , i really could not trace it out.
Can somebody guide me, what exactly does it mean?
Best regards,
K.Kumar

Hi Kumar,

Component allocation change

Dear Gurus,
Is there any t-code for mass change in Component allocation.
thanks,
Tushar Barot

Dear Barot,
In my understanding there is no T Code for mass change of component allocation,check whether any Functional module can
help you or else go for a BDC to change the same.

Component allocation of phantom assembly

I have a phantom assembly "X" with its components as A, B, C, D. During component allocation in routing do I need to allocate Phantom Assembly "X" to an operation as well.
Please specify the reason for YES and NO?

Hi
Check the following:
Material components in a BOM that are not assigned to an operation in the routing are automatically assigned to the first operation when you create a production order.
If you have assigned a phantom assembly to an operation in a routing, the system automatically assigns all of the material components in the phantom assembly to the same operation as the phantom assembly when you create a production order.
If you have assigned individual material components from the phantom assembly to various operations without also allocating the phantom assembly, the system assigns the material components that have not been assigned and the phantom assembly to the beginning of the first operation when you create a production order.
Thanks
