Explode Bom in Purchase Order without Subcontracting

Hi Colleagues,
I have a sales BOM to represent a 'kitted item' (Lets say TV and TV stand) that are stocked as standard individual products.
These component level items are purchased from the same supplier
Is there a way of being able to raise a purchase order for the BOM header and then the PO explodes the component items and quantities? We are not using subcontracting, we simply want to be able to order the Kit header and then suggest the sub components that we can receive them seperately
Thanks
Steve

Hi,
In retail there's a similar functionality called structured article:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/2b/b03886df3611d1953b00a0c930e0da/frameset.htm
...but in standard SAP you have no such option - as per my best knowledge.
Generally, you get PurReqs during MRP run and you will create a PO from several individual PurReqs that belong to one vendor.
Other option is to copy the same PO (that already contains the components).
The BOM function in PO is for subcontracting exclusively as I know.

Csaba

  • BOM in purchase order

    Hi experts,
    Is it possible to use the BOM in purchase order? In the sense, if material a = b + c, then If i create the purchase order for material a, it should explode to b and c as the BOM explodes in a sales order.
    Please let me know if this possible? And if yes, then how to go about it? If no, what is the reason we cant use it in PO?
    - Prashant

    Hi,
    Please check the following things :
    1. In Material master MRP4 view - Field "Individual/Coll" should have value "2" or "Blank" & In BOM (Transaction code CS03) item detail section - Field "Explosion Type" should have value  "LB" ("Individual/Coll" should have value "2" or "Blank") .
    2. PIR should have PIR Info category "3" , i.e., Subcontracting PIR must available for header material which we receive back from subcontractor.
    3. Special Procurement Key must be "30" in material master MRP2 View.
    4. Purchasing Item Category must be "L" and production BOM must be maintained, if you want to explode BOM in PO.
    5. Please check BOM valid period is effective from in Tcode cs03 
    6. Please check your PO date against the valid date of the BOM valid period.
    regards,
    Siddharth.

  • GTS 7.2 - Error with account assigned purchase order without material

    All,
    I am creating an account assigned purchase order without any material master in the feeder system (ECC 5.0) and it a standard SAP functionality.
    I am getting the following GTS related pop up message and documents are posted to technically incomplete documents in GTS 7.2.
    "Legal Control: Custs Prod. Mast. Required
    Material                                                  "
    Any ideas on how get rid of this error message
    Edited by: James Puzon on Oct 3, 2008 9:32 PM

    James,
    Even though material numbers are not mandatory on POs in the feeder system (ie in ECC) they ARE mandatory in SAP-GTS.
    This means that every line item (PO, SO, delivery) that is sent to GTS for compliance screening or Customs processing MUST have a material number in the feeder system.  You have a couple of options to resolve this:
    1. Always use a material number on all transactions that you enter in your feeder system if they are exports or imports (ie relevant for GTS). You can create service materials or "dummy" materials in ECC for items such as user manuals, warranties or installation services that are part of a particular shipment.
    2. You can add logic in the interface for GTS to always transfer a particular material number to GTS if the material number is blank on the line item of the feeder system document.  Ideally you would want to link this custom logic to a custom maintenance table in ECC so that you can easily change the material number that is sent to GTS without having to change the code.
    3. Override the error message by changing the message type to a warning or informational message (not recommended because this would require a small code modification because I don't think the message type is configurable for this error).  Even if you did make this code change you would likely run into more issues in GTS because license determination and other GTS services need a material number to function properly.
    Hope this helps.

  • Creation of Purchase order without Quantity

    Dear experts,
    Good Evening,
    My client requirement is to create a purchase order without any quantity but with price ,is it possible by any chance.
    Thanks
    Vijay rebala

    Sorry for not responding ,but business wants purchase order
    That's probably what is wrong with your scenario. Business shouldn't "want a purchase order", Business should want a process that works, irrespective of the transaction.
    It's up to the people that know how the ERP works, to tell the business how they should use it.
    If they are in the negotiation phase, they shouldn't be using a Purchase Order to do it, they are basically exchanging quotations.
    The Purchase Order should be used when you have already agreed to the terms. That's how SAP standard works,.

  • Profit center for purchase order without account assignment

    I've requirement to include profit centers in purchase orders without account assignment category.
    The trouble is when there is no profit center maintained in material master.
    Is there a way to determine profit center in purchase order for such cases?

    Dear Abinash,
    Define substitution in GGB1 at line item level as shown below:
    Prerequisite : BSEG-WERKS = Maintain plant
    Substitution : BSEG-PRCTR = maintain profit centre as constant value
    After define it, assign to the co.code.

    I have a requirement to create a Inbound Delivery for a Purchase order without material number. The Purchase Order has only Material text and no material number. Please let me know a BAPI or FM to create inbound delivery in this case where there is no material defined on PO. I require BAPI / FM  since I have to make a web-service for the same.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi I did a coding in one of the userexit. If ekpo-matnr is empty then fill
    KOMDLGN-UMVKZ = 1
    KOMDLGN-UMVKN = 1
    KOMDLGN-MEINS = EKPO-MEINS
    This parameters i.e. Qty conversion are necessary and since MATNR does not exists it has to be filled.

  • How create a purchase order without imputation using bapi: BAPI_PO_CREATE1

    Hello Forum
    I have an request for purchase order with imputation K (cost center, EBAN-KNTTP). During the liberation of the request for purchase order, and using the Bapi: BAPI_PO_CREATE1, I want to create a Purchase Order without imputation (imputation empty or charge empty).
    The system displays the following error: The request for purchase order, item (position) 10, is attributed to another order...
    I imagine that is because the request for purchase order has imputation (charged) K and the purchase order will have no type of imputation (imputation empty).
    However, manually, Yes, I can create the purchase order. That is, I first release, the request for purchase order. Then I create the order of purchase using ME21 and with reference to request for purchase order, and when SAP returns the items of the request for purchase order, I manually remove the imputation K, and these items to become the purchase order.
    Please support me want to know how to resolve this case, why can not I create a purchase order without imputation to from the request for purchase order with imputation K, using Bapi
    Thank you.
    Greetings,

    Hi,
    In the item overview of the purchase order creation screen (ME21N), you have a column Purchasing Doc and next it item no.  You can give the existing purchase order number here with item no which will create a purchase order, and changes can be made wherever you require.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks

  • Can we issue purchase order without price info

    Hi,
    We had issued purchase orders to a vendor, but we come across that price info has not been maintained for the same. It seems that this is exceptional case. Can we issue purchase order without price info ??
    Regards...

    Hi,
    In general case while creating purchase order price is picked up from purchasing info records which are valid , if the info record is not maintained it is picked up from last purchase order.
    But as you said it is purcahse order without info records.
    Options available are;
    You can manually enter the price in the item overview and details will automatically get calculated in item detail of purchase order
    You can mark free delivery indicator in the item overview.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    After giving 'X' in the procurment type, maintain quota arrange usage as '4'.
    Then use T.code meq1, for creating quotas.
    Give the material no. & then give validdity date. Double click the validity date, this will take you to another screen.
    Here give the procurment type as internal production, the %quota & the prod version in the 'Version field'& then in the second row choose external procurement & choose sub-contracting in the special procurement field, then enter the %quota & prod version in the 'version' field.
    After this in T.code omi4 (for lot-size), check if the lot size you use has got a tick in the splitting quota. If not check this indicator & then run mrp. Based on the quota %, pl order & pur req will be created.

  • Repair Purchase Order without Service Master

    Good Day Guru's
    I need your help please.  A little history....
    I have recently took a position at a company as their SAP Admin and quit the consulting world.  We go live first of December....While looking at some config, requirements, etc. one of the things  I ran into is  that there was not a process in place for a delivery order being created for a repair order (Misc PO), STO or for  a Sub Contract PO.  I spoke with the Purchasing Manager in reference to this; and she said she was never told about a delivery order as an option....I suggested we should have an automated process in place for a repair PO.  As the design sits now, the buyer will have to manually take the PO to the shipping department, there is not a delivery order, packing list, etc being created.  The functional consultant with the company we have implementing our solution, set up a MISC PO without delivery and did not explain the functionality of a delivery order to them so the company could make a good sound judgement on a process.  I then had a meeting with the Purchasing Manager, Functional Consultant, and also his superior.  He was then asked to put a process in place and come back with a solution.  Well, they did this yesterday (I was out sick).  He stated that "since no service master" for the repair process and external operations that it is not possible to create delvery since these PO's are for service; so go with current design."  Since the STO and the Sub Contract PO did not have delivery orders either that our company wanted to see a demo on the delicery order process before they say yes. 
    In my experience you can create a delivery order with the sub con process with an enhancement ...or at least I thought (been a while since I worked with purchasing).  Has this changed?  Why would I need to set up the Service Master for this (I know it is SAP best practice but  all I wanted was a delivery order process), our requirement was not to track every step of the repair on the PO as an operation.....
    My question comes down to this.   Is the reason I can't use the repair order as a sub con process due to the fact they are using the sub con process for a true sub contract?  Can this be set up as two different categories so both could be used?  Is there another way to get a delivery order created for a repair po (in this case misc po)?  Is there something I need to suggest differently in order to show it is a repair PO versus a true sub contract?  I would appreciate some guidance on this that I can pass to the functional consultant....
    I just find that not using the delivery order process not very efficient and not to mention placing a manual task for shipping material out to vendor for repair.  Hopefully I made this clear.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi
    You need to show purchase cost in some GL account. System recognises GL account through material master or material group with account assignment combination. Without these two you cannot identify to which account postings should happen. Assign a valuation class to a material group in OMWQ and assign a GL account to valuation class in GBB - VBR for automatic picking of GL account in purchase order. However you can overwrite this GL account as per the requirement.
    Thanks
