Constructions Industry - Use of SO BOM

Hi,
We are using ECC 6 and my client is a constuction company.
The company is using SAP material no - material type DIEN and this is entered during SO creation.
We dont keep any inventory as the nature of the business is construction/service.
For example - we have SO - Construction of 2Storey Building - Material No = C2S
There is a template that constitute the activity being done for C2S ( ie: Excavation, Pilling, BackPilling etc) which has its corresponding cost equivalent.
The sum up cost of the activity is the SO price which include some mark up.
At the moment, this activity is manually calculate and outside of SAP.
My client now want to incorporate the template/activity with cost to SAP - the intention is that- when a Sales Order coming in. The template will automatically captured for that order with the corresponding price et..
Not sure but it seems the concept is to activate the BOM.
Pls consider me as totally newbie on BOM, i understand its concept but i dont know how it will be done through SAP setting..
Appreciate if i got the right approach and value all the help of how to achieve it in SAP.
Thanks in advance.

Hi She,
The requirement detailed by you is a typical requirement, which most of the customer wants irrespective of industry. This requirement cannot be and should not be addressed in SAP logically. The reason being that the cost of procurement will vary. In the example of Construction industry, labour price will vary from place to place withing same city, other charges like electricity consumed will also differ based on service provider, if the site is not easily approachable by regular or large teucks / containers, the cost of transportation will vary, and so on..... This is a part of wish list a client will always have, but it is important to draw a line, beyond which even a development should not be proposed. The value will as it be required to be entered manually on most occasion, as there will be no standard price of procument.
Even if a thought is given for Development, the impact of development on the system, volume of added master data, time to be considered to trigger the event during transaction, feasiablity and system performance also require to be considered.

Material master codification & inventory mgmt- construction industry

Hi,
I am designing the process for a client in the construction industry. The implementation will include integration with PS module. The client is working on different projects and the materials requirement for each project differ from the other.
Example:
Though i may have pipe at a broad level, the requirement of pipes is based on the diameter of pipes and this would ideally form multiple material codes.
I want to know, if any of you have come across such a scenario where creation of material master to the lowest level of specification will be very tedious. And also the same material specification may not be used in more than a project.
But at the same time, the client wants to track his inventory based on the specifications of pump received and issued / consumed.
thanks

hi,
would appreciate any help on this.
thanks

Construction Industry Variation Orders?

I am working for a construction company. We are using SAP ecc6 (EHP5).
We have service purchase orders which represent contracts with suppliers. The purchasing documents are subject to release and the number of release codes depends on the value.
We have a requirement to handle "Variation Orders" against this contract and the variation should also be subject to release procedure on its own value. We have added complication that we can have negative value variations.
Each variation should have an associated print document detailing the value of the variation.
Does anybody know of any functionality to handle variations in construction industry?
thanks

Use of Alternate BOM in Plant Maintenance

Hi All,
Please let me know the use of Alternate BOM in SAP PM.
Sundar

From SAP Help.
The BOM structure is reflected in the different technical categories of BOM provided in the PM system:
Simple BOM
The first BOM that you create for a technical object or material has no defined technical category and a simple structure. It is described as a "simple BOM".
Variant BOM
Variant BOMs have a more complex structure. They are used to group together several BOMs to describe different objects that have a high proportion of identical parts.
Multiple BOM
Multiple BOMs have the most complex structure. They are used to group together several BOMs to describe one object, for which different combinations of materials are used for different production methods. Multiple BOMs are usually used in production planning and have little or no use for plant maintenance.
Note: There is no concept of Alternative BoM for PM.

CS15 - where used in specific BOMs?

cs15 can become ridiculously large.
instead of returning parts that have been reused for years in so many BOMs...what is a good way to restrict a where used list to only return BOMs in a specific material?
part XYZ is used in 300 BOMs, but only want to see the main BOM 12345 and any BOMs under it where this part is used.

Dear Straz,
Do you mean to say the report should show only the main assembly(say For Eg the FERT material )
alone?
In CS15 after executing the report,click on change layout for adding the field for Level,then you click on
filter and select at which level you need the report.
Otheriwse you have to go for a Z report and you can use this Functional
module,CSEP_MAT_BOM_SELECT_WHERE_USED or CS_WHERE_USED_MAT and you in the
output you can identify the specific one's using material type or passing these values to MARA table.
Check and revert back.

Construction industry doubt

Hi friends,
my company is in the construction industry and are implementing ecc6. they make buildings and facilities for the oil and gas sector.
the general process is that we receive a RFQ from the client, we bid and if we win the bid will be issued a PO.
i wanted to know what will be the SD process(correct me if i am wrong), which i presume will be
inquiry, quotation, sales order with DIP with WBS assignment which will create a WBS in PS or will it be a that once a project structure and WBS once created in PS will create SAles order?
Regards,

Steps to be followed in Construction industry......
1. Once you received the PO u have to create Quotation in T Code VA21.....
2. Then Create Project Structure in PS Module (which includes all WBS elements).
3. Assign WBS element to Sales order Item. (PS module will create WBS, only assignment of WBS has done in SD
4. Create Sales Order With the Ref to Quotation.
5. Create Billing Document.
Thanks & Regards,
Ratish

Use of Sales BOM to force ATP against Bulk Material?

Background:
Our business was recently acquired, and we have migrated to the parent company's R/3 system. In our previous MRP system (R/2), we planned, produced, and shipped a single bulk Material ID in Trucks, Rail Cars, Flexi-Bags, and Iso-Tainers. In the new system, specific Material IDs are now required for each of these modes. However, we do not store the inventory in these modes, nor do we wish to plan at this detailed level.
Considered So Far:
Initial suggestion was to use A.T.O. to look through a BOM and automatically create production orders for each customer order. However, this seems to add additional complexity that we do not really need, and makes changing order dates more challenging (have to move both the order and the accompanying Prod. Order).
Desired Outcome:
Order is entered and priced based upon the mode-specific Material ID, but inventory is relieved from the Bulk material. In our previous R/2 system, there was a field on the material master called "Std.Prod." which stood for Standard Product Link. We used it for synonymous products where we produced and inventoried under one name, but sold under several different names. The customer materials were set up as type SALE and referenced the inventoried material, set as type FINI, in this Std. Prod. field. Thus, at the header level, the user saw the SALE material, but for planning and at the batch level, the system showed the FINI.
Options?
I am told that, due to the amount of custom coding and user exits surrounding outputs and interfaces to EDI and other external systems, the use of Material Determination would require too much testing and potentially too much development work. But, is it the best / correct solution to the problem? Because right now, I don't have the ability to perform ATP against the inventoried Material, so nothing confirms. Would the use of a 1 to 1 Sales BOM offer anything different?
Many Thanks in Advance,
J.P.

Hello JP
Material Determination (MD) works with Consignment orders, only you need to assign a MD procedure to the requisite sales document type in config ( TO code OV14). Product substitution, which is a specialized form of MD, makes use of special item cats like TAX and TAPS or TAPA and TAN for main and substitute items respectively, but you can always make copies of them and use them with consignment orders also in conjunction with item category usages like PSHP. PSEL, PSA1 and PSA2. There could be resultant issues, but unless you test you won't know them all.
Your second question about 'Sale would go against the finished good (Truck / Rail material) while the production costs go against the Bulk', brought a new realization in me. You are ordering, pricing and delivering Truck or Rail materials, but those requirements have to be converted to Production orders for bulk material, so from a Sales and Distribution (SD) point of view you don't need anything extra, therefore work with you Production Planning (PP) consultant to convert the requirements at PP end?? May be without resorting to MD or BOMs in Sales, you can work with your PP consultant and with standard config or custom development, you may realize your desired outcome.
Also as long as cost is maintained in the sales Material (Truck for example) with due regard to the additional costs in converting Bulk to truck, you should be fine. Follow the example below:
Standard cost of 1 ton , say X, is stored in Bulk Material master.
Now if there is no additional cost and you just load the bulk material into a truck and if a Truck is 10 ton, then Truck material would have 10X in its material master for cost.
But if there is some other material and/or labor involved in converting bulk to Truck and their cost is y, then you will have (10x+y) in your truck material. Also it is worthwhile to capture the additional cost in the Production/Assembly order via components and operations.
Your problem is not insurmountable, but you need to assemble a team of SD. PP, MM and CO experts to design an integrated solution for you.

How to use BAPI_MATERIAL_BOM_GROUP_CREATE for BOM change?

Hi All-
I would like to know how to use the BAPI - BAPI_MATERIAL_BOM_GROUP_CREATE to change an existing BOM? I know other available function modules for changing BOMs, but I would appreciate if someone tell me how to use the above BAPI. I heard we can use this to change the BOM.
Points will surely be awarded....

Help on scenario in Real estate/Construction industry with PS,SD,MM modules

Dear Gurus,
Iam into implementation of a Real estate/Construction company (FI/CO,SDMM<PS modules). But we are NOT using SAP RE-FX or Homebuilding solutions (HBS).
My Client's business scenario goes like this.
There are two broad divisions:
Residential properties:
They are going to build 840 flats (divided into 14 blocks with 15 floors in each block) with amenities like club house, parking facilities etc. The flats will be sold to customers.
Commercial Properties:
Commercial building is divided into 60000sqft for hotel construction and 40000 sqft for retail space which includes 2 small theatres.
The commercial complex will be retained by the client.
Three types of residential properties will be built
1. 4 blocks of 2 bedroom flats
2. 5 blocks of 3 bedroom flats with 2 toilets attached which will be termed as 2+1.
3. 5 blocks of 3 bedroom flats.
When the customer is enquiring about the FLATS, i have to check the availability of the same.How to do this?
Iam considering the flats as FINISHED GOODS, So How do I get those into the stock without doing intial entry using 561?( no PP module here)Is is possible to relate the stock through PS module?
Please give your valuable ideas on this.
Regards,
Anbu

Hi
From the requirement and design planned, your each flat will be different material. If this is so then whatever material is blocked or not for sale or closed or open you can define te material sales status accordingly. hence if the status is other than released then they will give error and that information will be useful.
If u have lot of flats which are look alike and hence any allocation of flat to any customer is ok then product allocation cab work.
Product allocation can work good when the material has characteritics of interchangeablitily and standardization.
No flat can be same. Eventhough u have same sq ft area same the location according to vastu and east west direction etc criteria will be unique and hence using product allocation wil result into any one flat being allocated to customer which is not desirable.
hence according to me you can have materials with different status and that will suit ur purpose.
Reward if helpful
Kind Regards
