Hi Shay
BILL OF MATERIAL
The Material Ordered, Delivered and Billed consists of one or Several Components.
These components are called as Bill Of Materials
The Material Ordered by the Customer is referred as Main Item or Higher Level item. The Components are referred as Sub-items.
When we enter the Main-item in the Sales documents, the Components are automatically determined and this is called as expansion of Bill Of Materials.
In SD, we treat the processing of Boms in two ways.
Processing at Main-item.
Processing at the Sub-item
The Processing in both cases is controlled by the Item Categories and Schedule line Categories.
Step: 1
Prepare the Martial Master for all the Materials, which is main-item and Sub-item.
In the Material Master, the Item Category group of the Main-item is important.
We need to Maintain the item category group for the Main-items and sub-items as follows.
Scenario Main-Item Sub-Item
Processing at ERLA NORM
Main-item level
Processing at LUMF NORM
Sub-items
Item Category TAQ TAE
Schedule line CP CT
Category
Step: 2
Let us take Computer as a Bom. It has Varies parts like Mouse, keyboard, Motherboard, Ram, CPU.
Let us take Computer has the main-item, and sub-item as the rest.
Prepare Material Master. We have to Prepare Material Master for Main-item and Sub-items.
