Item Category Group in BOM

Question

Dear Gurus
I want to create the BOM for Computer = Screen + Herdisk + Key board
1) Main Item Level processing
I have maintained item category group ERLA in MMR (Sales 2 screen) of the finished product
(Computer 1 ).
What item category group should be maintained for sub items?
2) Subitem Level Processing
I have maintained item category group LUMF in MMR (Sales 2 screen) of the finished product
(Computer 2).
What item category group should be maintained for sub items?
3) Also explain about how to mainatin the master records (CS01).
Regards,
Ashish

Answer 1

Ashish,
Suppose the material is completed then the value is shown against final product. In that case we use Item vategory Group ERLA. The maina item category will be shown as TAQ. The Subitem will take item category TAE (text item)
If the material is still not complete then the value is ascertaind through sub items in that case LUMF item category is used and item category for the main item is TAP and for sub items it is TAN.
In any case we will change the item category group as (ERLA or LUMF) in the material master of the final material "Computer". Where as the subitems item category will be "Norm".
Note: If you use standarad Order = OR, and standard item category group ERLA in the Finished MAterial Conmputer, then system will automatically assign item categories for Main item = TAQ and SUb Items = TAE.
Standard process and ORder = OR
Then  Execute MM02 for finished material or Main materialo alone i.e., "Computer",  Assign Item Category Group = ERLA and save. Then create BOM CS01, CS11 Single level the output will be
COMPUTER = TAQ
SCREEn = TAE
HERdisk = TAE
Key board= TAE.
Similarly if you proceed process by changing Item category group = LUMF for main material i.e., Finished goods "Computer" then
COMPUTER = TAP
SCREEn = TAN
HERdisk = TAN
Key board= TAN
If you are changing the document type prefixed with Z , then you need to proceed with "Assign tem Catgeory"
