Individual/Collective in BOM With Phantoms

Hello All
Iu2019m working with variant configuration using strategy group 65.
My BOM has several levels and the first level is always a phantom.
When exploding the BOM MRP create individual requirements for each component.
Because the components are used in other finish goods with different strategy I don´t want to set in the mater data the individual collective flag to 2. Instead I create e new explosion type in the BOM to create collective requirements.
My problem is that MRP bypasses this explosion type from the BOM when the component is phantom which forces me to enter it at the level of the no phantom component.
Is possible by any means force MRP to only create Collective Requirements for the Components of a MTO ?
Thereu2019s any chance to force SAP to Look to the explosion type in the phantoms and create only collective requirements?
Thanks for your comments
Pedro Coelho

Dear
I do not think so it is possible  in Standrad MTO process .
In MTO process , you can not club all the Depedent  Requirement ( Phantom BOM -componenets ) in to one PR  utlising MRP4 individual and Collective Indicator .
Basically indiviaul /collective indicator MRP4 as 2 then  PRs or planned orders will be generated during the MRP run for dependent requirements with account assigned to respective WBSE or Sale order
Where as at header level it will work  like this  : Individual and collective indicator in mrp4 view
Just check this

  • What is the functionality of Bom explosion individual/collective  in MRP 4 View

    Hi Experts.Please give idea about what is the use of functionality of BOM explosion Individual/collective in MRP view 4.How this function will work in strategy 10 and 20.
    thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    This is a very generic question...If you explore in forum or net you will get lot of information...
    This is normally used in make to order strategies like 20, 50 etc...
    The individual/collective indicator in the material master record determines
    whether a component is procured for a special customer requirement in the
    individual segment.
    The indicator "1" for individual requirements means that the material is being
    specially manufactured or procured for a sales order. A special individual segment
    is created for each requirement. An individual requirement is only created if the
    higher-level material does not create a collective requirement.
    The indicator "2" for collective requirements means that the material is produced
    or procured for various requirements. You can find these requirements in the net
    requirements segment.
    The indicator "blank" means that the component is to be planned in the same way
    as the higher-level assembly.
    In the above example, two individual segments are created for the shaft for sales
    orders A and B.
    Thanks

  • BOM where-used list with Phantom item ( Special procurement ) - ALV grid

    Hi Gurus,
    I have a request with tcode CS15 when we use alv-grid.
    We have a component with phantom item indicator because we use the special procurement type 50.
    When we run the transaction we don't use the variable list but we use the alv-grid.
    I change the layout but we haven't the field "Special procurement" or "Phantom item" in the column set
    Thanks in advance
    Marco Ferrari

    dear friend
    you could build a query (t-code SQ01) and make visible any relevant fields.
    before run SQ02 and create an info-set based on a standard logical databse CMC.
    you even do not need an abaper. just try yourself. play in DEV system
    good luck.

  • Individual/collective req ind

    Dear experts,
    I'm using MTO. I have multilevel bom structure. I have faced a problem.
    For example I have a material in level2 followed individually according to customer order. I want the level3 materials to be managed collectively. I'm setting all the materials collective indicator in 3rd level. But sometimes I forget to create the MRP view of the 3rd level material. Then the system plans the requirements of 3rd level according to 2nd level and as the 2nd level followed individully this 3rd level  material is also planned individually.
    My question comes: Is there any way to define the system plan the materials always collectively if mrp view does not exist or if I don not set any indicator.

    Hi,
    Yes you can set the collective/Indual indicator with out MRP view also..
    In the BOM you can set..
    In component details there got a Explosion type for this explosion type in the background setting set as collective requirement and assign the same in the BOM items.
    hope clear..
    Revert me if any issue

  • BOM with Same Parent Number But Different WH

    Hello fellow SAP B1ers!
    I have a question and hope someone can help.  This point has us scratching our heads on how to do this.
    A customer has two warehouses (WH 1 and a newly-built WH5) producing the same product (Product A) but at different costs per warehouses.  They want to create two Bill of Materials (BOM) u2013 one for each warehouse.  For Example: BOM of Product A in WH1 and BOM of Product A in WH5.  The item cost is maintained at the warehouse level and, with it being a new warehouse, of course the item costs are different on the Item Master Data (Inventory Tab).  I cannot believe SAP B1 2007 cannot handle this, as this is Production 101 for any company.   Creating fake new and/or phantom products is certainly not the answer, because that could lead to an unbelievable amount of double work.  Besides, they want to be able to see the Product A information together.
    We have researched both SAP Help and Documentation and in both areas, it says (a direct quote) u2013
    If the parent item already has a Bill of Materials, the components are displayed. However, you can still create a new Bill of Materials for that parent item.
    So, how do we create a NEW Bill of Material for that parent item?
    We have tried to enter a new BOM with the parent item and WH5 and same components, but we receive an error that the item is already on the table.  When we use the duplication drop-down function, change the WH number on the header, and change the WH on the lines for components, the original BOM Product A WH1 is gone.  For some reason it also duplicates the components (but that is easily fixed).  I would imagine that a BOM table would need to have part of the key as ItemCode and WhsCode u2013 maybe a mistake in thinking?
    Can someone help us and tell us what we are missing???
    Many thanks for responses - Zal

    Hi Zal,
    Product Code is same as item code as it is unique so it is not possible to have two BOM  for same one item .
    I think help file to pointing towards special production order where you define new BOM for same product
    But I think it is too much work  if you have a lot.....
    So I think you have to look for add on to solve your issue ...
    A thought for  your problem 
    Thank you

  • Problem with Phantom Assembly

    Hi expert,
    I have question with BOM and production process. In packaging industry, At start we have 8 components for finish goods. but recently, 2 component 0020 and 0030 (example bottle cap and sticker) will issue from warehouse for assembly process before return to warehouse. then re-issue to use for finish goods.
    usually component 0020 and 0030 will convert to another component or change to semi-finish goods.i must create this BOM , Routing , and Open Production Order.and change component in finish goods, 
    if i not create BOM , Routing , and open Production Order. but create new component as semi-finish goods for item from assembly process to use in finish goods BOM as phantom assembly.
    how is my resolution, possible or impossible? , will be any problem in the future. any advise is good.
    regards,
    kittisak.

    Hi,
    There are 2 possibilities in this case.
    If you do not want to make stock of your HALB then make this as Phantom and include the assembly operations (manufacturing operations) in the header level material so that the activities will be captured at the Time of FERT confirmations.
    If you want to make a track of the stock for re issue from Warehouse then no other way.
    You should maintain it as HALB with BOM nad Routing, Pl. Order and Production Order route to capture the stocks and issue it to FERT production.
    Hope this clarifies..
    Regards,
    Siva

  • Individual Collective indicator

    Hi
    Is there any report abt Individual collective indicator
    I need a report regarding  the requirements created on each date for the collective requirement of the material
    I have maintained collective indicator for the material
    Regards
    Anand Srinivasan

    Dear Anand,
    There's no standard report regarding  the individual/Collective Requirements.
    But still if you want the list of materials with 1 - Individual Requirements only or 2 - Collective Requirements
    only,you can get it from the table MARC in T code SE16.
    Regarding your second part of question i'm sure whether you are l;ooking for this,
    If you want the total Requirements for those materials,then go to T code MD73 - give the Requirements
    Plan as * and enter the plant and the date range and proceed.

  • How to use CS_BOM_EXPL_MAT_V2  to include bom under Phantom

    Hi every1,
    How can I get documentation for this function module CS_BOM_EXPL_MAT_V2 
    We want to explode BOM on single level ,including Material which is coming under Phantom assembly too.
    eg. I have one material 1xxxxx.
    after exploding single level bom suppose I'll get these material
    1xxxx1
    1xxxx2
    1xxxx3 and if 1xxxx3 is Phantaom assembly and under this item again I may have 1xxxx1 as bom item.
    that means for my parent material 1xxxxx, I want 1xxxx1 should come 2 times !
    Is there any simpliest way to get or for this item again I need to use this FM again ?
    Pl. do help me.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi,
    THE FM 'CS_BOM_EXPLOSION_MAT' mentioned above holds true if u dont hv any alternatives for the BOM.
    eg: If ur component in turn has BOM with 3 alternatives namely 01,02,03
    then ideally FM should pick all the items uder these 3 components but this FM picks by default the 1st
    alternative & ignores the rest.
    So there are changes dat the list which u hv gpt is not 100%.          
      Through Tcode CS12 u can see the level wise components for a BOM.
    U can gather the component details with this Tcode if u hv very few BOMs to explore.
    But if the count is higher u hv to select acoding way for it....
    Attaching a part of code to explore multilevel BOM.....hope dis ll help u......

  • Individual/Collective Requirements MRP4 View

    I have a situation where my top level material (FERT) is a MTS item (reorder point planning).  In the BOM is an intermediate (HALB).  Due to the nature of my process I must have a 1:1 relation ship of the HALB to the FERT.  However: as many have pointed out, where I have multiple production orders for the FERT, the MRP behavior is to combine multiple order reservations for the HALB into one planned order, regardless of the individual/collective requirement setting.  There must be a way to get a planned order for each order reservation in this MTS situation.  I know that I am not the only one who has this requirement.  Any advice/expertise would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

    Mgf,
    I believe expert Sundaresan has answered your question - for Baseline SAP.

  • View Reports for individual Collections

    Hello,
    Is there a way to view Reports for individual Collections?  When I review my Usage Reports or look at Reports within the PSM I only get a break down of total user actions per day for the whole site.  I don't see a way to view data for just a single Collection.  It would be extremely helpful to me and my faculty if we could see reports or stats for specific Collections.  For example, if I could see total subscriptions and downloads for HIST1010.  It'd be even better if we could view totals for whole months rather than each day of the month but at this point any data about a whole individual Collection would be great.  Any help in viewing the data in this way is really appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hi Syd,
    Thanks so much for your prompt reply.  I was able to use your directions to pull stats for the last few weeks for the faculty member who requested this info. 
    My dream (if Apple is reading) would be to view monthly stats and have that information attached to each course so faculty members could view and sort that information on their own.  This would be especially helpful because as our site continues to grow and I continue to encourage faculty to manage their own content, the ability to access the data on their Collections would provide great feedback on how their ocntent is being used.  Being able to see how frequently the content they're taken the time to make is being used could be empowering.
    Anyway, thanks again for assisting with how to access the data that is currently available.
    Best,

  • Production order confirmation with Phantom Assy through CO11N

    Hi,
         We are trying use phantom assy in our production order, we have one BOM with 17 assy, now we have marked our 17 assy with special procurement as 50, we released order for the same, i confirm 10 machine say out of 15 machine through CO11N, now when i m trying to confirm remaining 5 machine through same CO11N system showing error, screen shot of which is attached,
    I tried to solve this issue, with some note in SCN but didnt able to solve it, i tried by removing back flush indicator for all Phantom assy but same error, i also tried to do partial confirmation in CO11N screen but no use, all the component are marked for Back flush indicator,
    Please help if any configuration i m missing in here, how can i start use this phantom assy, as releasing 17 order for assy is such a pain,
    Thanks,
    Pratik..

    Hi Pratik,
            You said that Auto GRN was done. Could you please clarify that do you have separate order for your assy( 15 machine as per your statement)? or you have a single order with 15 operations?
       I assume that you have separate order as you mentioned that auto GR was done. The message is clearly saying that without GI you can't do confirmation. So, please check whether GI was done against this order. If you remove the backflush indicator then you should do the GI manually against the order before doing Confirmation. Did you check the material movement against this order with 261 movement?
    Did you check any backlog record against this movement in COGI?
        It seems that customized error message, you can easily find the cause when debug this program with the help of your abaper. Please check all these things.
    Thanks

           Occurred on     18.06.2009 at   11:01:01
    The ABAP/4 Open SQL array insert results in duplicate database records.
    What happened?
    Error in ABAP application program.
    The current ABAP program "SAPLKED1_WRITE_CE4_BPS1" had to be terminated because
    one of the
    statements could not be executed.
    This is probably due to an error in the ABAP program.
    What can you do?
    Print out the error message (using the "Print" function)
    and make a note of the actions and input that caused the
    error.
    To resolve the problem, contact your SAP system administrator.
    You can use transaction ST22 (ABAP Dump Analysis) to view and administer
    termination messages, especially those beyond their normal deletion
    date.
    Error analysis
    An exception occurred. This exception is dealt with in more detail below
    . The exception, which is assigned to the class 'CX_SY_OPEN_SQL_DB', was
    neither
    caught nor passed along using a RAISING clause, in the procedure
    "RKE_WRITE_CE4__BPS1" "(FUNCTION)"
    Since the caller of the procedure could not have expected this exception
    to occur, the running program was terminated.
    The reason for the exception is:
    If you use an ABAP/4 Open SQL array insert to insert a record in
    the database and that record already exists with the same key,
    this results in a termination.
    (With an ABAP/4 Open SQL single record insert in the same error
    situation, processing does not terminate, but SY-SUBRC is set to 4.)
    How to correct the error
    The exception must either be prevented, caught within the procedure
    "RKE_WRITE_CE4__BPS1"
    "(FUNCTION)", or declared in the procedure's RAISING clause.
    To prevent the exception, note the following:
    Use an ABAP/4 Open SQL array insert only if you are sure that none of
    the records passed already exists in the database.
    You may able to find an interim solution to the problem
    in the SAP note system. If you have access to the note system yourself,
    use the following search criteria:
    "SAPSQL_ARRAY_INSERT_DUPREC" CX_SY_OPEN_SQL_DBC
    "SAPLKED1_WRITE_CE4_BPS1" or "LKED1_WRITE_CE4_BPS1U01"
    "RKE_WRITE_CE4__BPS1"
    If you cannot solve the problem yourself, please send the
    following documents to SAP:
    1. A hard copy print describing the problem.
       To obtain this, select the "Print" function on the current screen.
    2. A suitable hardcopy prinout of the system log.
       To obtain this, call the system log with Transaction SM21
       and select the "Print" function to print out the relevant
       part.
    3. If the programs are your own programs or modified SAP programs,
       supply the source code.
       To do this, you can either use the "PRINT" command in the editor or
       print the programs using the report RSINCL00.
    4. Details regarding the conditions under which the error occurred
       or which actions and input led to the error.

  • Error while changing BOM with change number

    Hi ALL, Please help me with followed error message, I am using ECM. I created ECR and converted to ECO and then released.
    Object management record cannot be generated
    Message no. 29046
    Diagnosis
    You want to change the BOM with the entered change number.
    One of the following situations triggered this error message:
    1. The indicator that allows automatic generation is not set for object type BOM in the change master.
    2. The indicator generation only on initial creation is set for object type BOM
    3. You are processing a change request.
    System response
    The system checks whether the indicator object management record will be generated is set in the change master.
    If the indicator generation only on initial creation is set, the system checks whether the BOM exists in the system.
    Procedure
    If you are authorized to change the change master, execute the following steps:
    For 1.)
    Set this indicator for object type BOM or create the control record in the change master.
    For 2.)
    If the BOM already exists in the system and the generation only on initial creation indicator is set, the system can no longer generate the control record automatically.
    In this case you have to add the object control record to the change master first, then you can change the BOM in relation to the change number.
    For 3.)
    You cannot generate any object control records for a change request.

    Hi
    With your question regarding changing BOM with change number  it looks lke there may be problem in defining the Object types,objects.Moreover whenever converted to ECO you need to enter into cs02 tcode for changing the bom with relevant change number and valid from date.
    Hope this gives you a clear idea.let me know if you need anyfurther inputs.
    Regards
