Item number in BOM

Dear gurus
when Iam creating a BOM by copying from an existing bom and Iam selecting some of the items from the existing bom i.e if Iam selecting components with item number 0020,0040 for copy then in the new bom same item numbers are coming not from 0010
Please throw some light .
regards
Kumar

Dear all
thanks for reply, what I understood is that after copying the bom i have to change the item numbers manually.I have two queries
1) can the item numbers be changed automatically.
2)What is the concept that the same item numbers are coming when copied from the existing bom.

BOM Item Number

Hi techies,
There is a requirement for the client to have blank / Alpha numeric values in the BOM Item Number for BOM.
But i have referred them saying that use Sort string for the alphanumeric instead of using it in BOM Item Number. Still i m not so sure wat happens if we don use proper order of BOM Item Number (0010,0020,0030 Etc). I know the component gets ordered according to the alphabet order and not in the right order which we require. Even this they don feel important.
other than this component ordering in BOM will there be any impact in any other part of the functional module.
Could you Please advice me on this.
Regards,
Kris.S

Hi Vivek,
Thanks for sharing you experience on this. The client was very specific and hence for the legacy data moving to the SAP the item number would be either 0000 for few and alpha numeric. But in the future they would be like in standard SAP which specifies about the numeric version of it.
Thanking you in advance.

BOM Item number and the pr number created through network

We can create PR through network. If we know the PR number and the item number, how do we find the BOM item number in the network?

BOM - Item Number (Urgent)

Hi All,
In BOM (CS03), the first column refers to BOM Item number & i find it having 4 digits at the moment. I would like to know is it possible to increase this to say 6 or 8 digits, if it is possible, please let me know how i can do the same & also what is the limit for the same.
Hope my problem is clear, await inputs.
Vivek

Dear Vivek,
I'm not sure abotu this,but the increment which's default as 0010,0020 can be
changed as per the user Id.That's what Mr.Vijayprasad Shanmugham has
mentioned which can be done in OS29.
If possible try to post this thread in ABAP forums,I hope they can give a better
solution for this.

BOM item number - not repeat the item number

Hi Friend,
I wonder if you can block the registration of the same item with item number in the BOM,we have some problens with other software that comunication with SAP.
Thanks
Exemplo:
Item            Material
0001           ABCDEFG
0001           HIJLMNOP   (this is problem, because there are two itens with item bom = 0001)
Edited by: Marcelo Marcelo Alexandre Oliveira on Oct 18, 2010 8:00 PM

Hi,
You have to go for a user exit for this purpose.
remmeber in case item is being changed with chnage number(with history req), it might show multiple line items with same bom item( but it will be for same bom compoennet)
Also i guess for alternate and discontinuation bom componenets line item number remains the same.

Line item no in BOM

Sir,
In Standard SAP, while creating a BOM, the Line Item no is generated automatically. But this can be altered at any time. SAP also allows same line item no to be entered for two different part nos within a Same assembly.
Is there any mechanism /customisation / BAPI for blocking this feature?.
We are working on a project wherein SAP is integrated with a Third Party Application where the BOM will be maintained in future. As a first step all the existing data (BOM) will be moved to this application and any changes in future will be carried out there and moved to SAP.
But checks and controls have been built in this application so as to not allow same line item number within an assembly for two different part nos.
There are some BOMs in SAP where this type of scenario exists. It will be a problem while moving data from SAP to that application.
We as a part of the team wanted to build in a mechanism wherein these type of errors can be avoided in future.
Can someone throw some light on this subject?..
Regards,
R. Vijayakumar

Hi Vijay,in std SAP you can only set the default Line item incrment number but unfortunately SAP system does not validate it for duplications.. there are two possibilities ,either try using any user exit available to validate the same during BOM Creation and changing or saving the bom.
Otherwise if you have OSS login try to log and let me know once you have done it.

Ref Char fpr item descrption in BOM

Hi All
I want to change the item description in BOM through variant configuration (reference character ).
The scenario is in sales order i will be entering the size (lenght and width) this two char should reflect or change the item descrption of the item in BOM.(which will b selected through sel.condition).
Can anybody guide how to configure for the above req.
Advance thanks
Thanks and Regards
Praveen S

Praveen Sasi1,
You are asking for Variant Configuration.
1. Create Material
    a. Configurable Material - KMAT
    b. Gen. Item Category Group - 0002
    c. Item Category Group - 0002
    d. You won't have Accounting -1 and Accounting -2 View.
2. Include Access Sequence - 57 Variants (Table 57)
3. Include Condition Type VA00 - Variants in pricing procedure
a. Maintain Charchteristics - CT04 (A property that describes and differentiates objects Ex. Length, Color, weight..etc)
Say Ex Z_Engine_Dukati
Basic data: Z_Engine_Dukati
Description: Automotive
Status : Released
Data type: Charachter format
Number of Chars: 9
Values assignment: Single value(appply tick mark)
Values TAB:
char Values -
> Description -
> D ---> O -
> S
001 -
> 500 cc -
>yes -->NO -->NO
002 -
> 1000 cc -
>NO -->NO -->NO
003 -
> 1500 cc -
>No -->NO -->NO
Click Save.
silimlarly maintain other charchteristics.
b. Classes: CL02
Note Here Class type = 300 (Variants)
Here you list all the charchteristics with Date and Value
c. Configuration Profile: CU41
d. Then Maintain condition records in VK11
Moreover check the link

Item category in BOM

Hi All
What is the use of item catergory R - Varaible -size item in BOM cso1.
Thanks and Regards

Dear,
If you want different-sized sections of a material (raw material) to be represented by one material number in BOM items, you use the R variable size item category.
We use OS15 to create Variable size item formula.
For Ex: To calculate vol. of rectangle
Vol. of recanglet = length * breadth * height
Please refer this link for details,
[Varaible Size item in BOM|variable size item]

Change item category of BOM component

Hi,
Our user wanted to change the item category for BOM components through transaction IB12 using LSMW.Wanted to confirm whether it is possible to change item categoryof BOM component from "N" to "L" through LSMW.What exactly will be effected because of this change?And the steps to change the item category from "N" to "L" for the list of BOM component using LSMW.
Request your valuable thoughts.
Thank you in advance,
Regards,
Rubina Rahman

Hi Rubina,
N is non stock item
L is stock item
You have to make sure why the business warants to chnage the item category.
To answer the question:
It is possible to chnage the item category from "N" to "L" through LSMW (Provided depends on the number of components used in a BOM. If the number of items exceeds to multiple screen, then you have to think of developing BDC)
The effect will be: with item category "N" if the material is used in the order, based on the configuration the system shall automatically trigger the purchase requisition. With item category "L" it is assumed as stock is available and taken care by MRP program.
Suppose if it is material BOM:
          A. Use T.code: CS02 in LSMW recording
          B. Provide information like Material number, Plant, BOM usage
          C. In the item level change the item category from N to L
          D. Save the recording
          E. I hope you know the remaining LSMW process steps

Avoid printing child items of Sales BOM in AR Invoice

Hi All,
I have a requirement to edit the print layout of AR Invoice to see only the parent item of the Sales BOM in SAP 2005.
In SAP 2007, there is an option to Hide BOM Components in Print Out but how do I avoid printing child items in SAP 2005.
Please advise.
Thanks for your help!
Regards,
Payal

Hi Payal,
As a definition of B1, the children of the Sales BOM will always be shown in a marketing document.
However, we can change the template to hide them from the printouts. Please kindly follow the steps as below:
Print template editing for removing child items of Sales BOM
1.Add a new Text Field with Text 'I' in the Repetitive Area. ('I' is the attribute for child items)
2.Add a new Data Field in the Repetitive Area as below:
   a)In the Content tab, chose Table A/R Invoice # Rows and Column BOM Type
3.   Add a Formula in the Repetitive Area as below In the Content tab, chose:
      i.Source Type: Formula
      ii.In the Formula Editor, insert Field 1: the newly created Data field
      iii.Operation: !=
      iv.Field 2: the newly created Text field e.g. Field_316!=Field_315
4.Set the three fields added as Invisible, in order to set it as invisible, please uncheck the Visible box under General tab
5.Set Link to Field on the General tab of every field in the Repetitive Area (Row Level) to the exclusive number of the newly created calculation field.
6.Double-click the Repetitive Area to open Repetitive Area Property, Check Area Height Adjustment box under Format tab to hide the blank lines.
7 Save template and set as default, print preview.
You will find that the row number is the original, not successive, number. It is better to hide the row number field.
I hope it shall help.

Cust for Item number calculation when creating/changing a sales orders

Hi
I need to know if the item number when capturing/ modifying a sales order can be calculated automatically with some route in the customizing, or do I need to do it with some user exit in the sales order entry?.
Thanks!
Regards
Soraya

Hi,
Goto the T.Code "VOV8".
Select your order type.Details.
Goto the "Number systems" tab.
Maintain the value as "10" or "15" like this any number as per your requirement for the field "Item no.increment".
So that the main item will be incremented by the number you specified here.Suppose you specified the number as "10" the line item numbers would be 10,20,30,.....
Next is if you maintain the value for the field "Sub-item increment" then the sub items will be incremented by the number you specified here.
It would be mainly used in the case of BOM.
To get the numbers from the order,goto the T.Code "SE11/SE16".
Enter the table name as "VBAP".
Pass the order number.Execute.
You will get the all line items with numbers.
Regards,
Krishna.

Compression of item number

Hi,
My Production order validation generates more than 1000 posting items.
So therefore my posting is getting rejected.
So how should I compress to generate correct FI posting.
If anyone knows , please reply immediately.
Thanks in advance.
Mayur

Hello Mayur,
This is know as summerization of line items in the BOM...You have to create a common account for the similar type matreials. Details are below.
Implement summarization of data which means that the system will aggregate the line items in the accounting document where fields have the same contents. The summarized fields will become blank. This will cause fewer entries in table BSEG and dependent tables. It will resolve issue with large orders.
»     Space savings expected 144 GB
»     Note the original doument will still have the material number information as well as other summarized fields
     Procedures to be summarized MKPF (Material document), VBRK (billing)
     Fields to be summarized:
      Material number
      Profitability segment number
      Quantity
      Base unit of measure
      Sales document item

Item number in billing document not matching with delivery document-reg

Hi All,
In the billing document the item number is coming from Shipment document. ie., there are three deliveries in a shipment. Each delivery has got one line item, ie., 10. These three deliveries are assigned to a shipment, the order in which the deliveries are attached if we take as 10 for first delivery, 20 for th esecond and 30 for the third, In billing document the billing from first delivery is getting the item number as 10, the second delivery's billing document is getting the item number as 20 and the third as 30.
Can someone please reply where and how this is configured?
Thanks and regards,
Tajudeen S.

Hi,
first look at IMG/Sales and Distribution/ Billing / Maintain Copying Control For Billing Documents / Copying control: Delivery document to billing document
There is a field "Copy item number from reference"
Maybe it helps.
