Mass Maintenance of BOMs with Alternate Item Groups

We plan to create BOMs containing Alternate Item Groups (+ usage probability + priority) to cover alternative parts usage.
What is the SAP solution for Mass maintenance of BOMs with Alternate item groups?
Is it possible to use (or customize) CS20 (or another transaction) to do following tasks in Mass :
- identify the BOMs containing a specific material number (where used)
- add a new item line with a new material nbr in the BOM (with same quantity, subitems, Alternate Item Group, ...)
- when required, change the usage probability of the members of the group to set the new material usage on 100% and all other alternates usage on 0%. When not required, add the new one with 0% and don't change the existing members of the group.

Dear.
Ask your ABAP Team to write BDC or LSMW program.
This will help you.

Alternate Item Group functionality in BOM

Hi PP Gurus,
I was looking into the Alternate Item Group functionality in BOM and found it interesting for my business requirement.\
But I am facing one problem as below:
I have 3 components for Eg. A1, A2, A3 in my header material 'A'. All the three component materials are same but quailty of the 3 is different and also the standard price.
My requirement is whenever I am creating Production material for header material 'TEST_Header_Material, the system should look into A3 first (Cheapest), if not available then A2 (Cheaper) and if not then A 1(expensove of all the three).
For base quantity for A = 1EA, I have entered 1 EA for A1, A2, A3 in BOM. I have stock of A1=9, A2 = 6 and A3 = 2.
When I am creating Production Order for A = 10 EA, ,yrequirement is that the system should consider A3 first, then A2 and then A1 based upon the prority and hence should withdraw A3=2, A2=6 and A1=2 for meeting the quantity for finish product A in Production Order. But actuall the system is considering A3 but confirming it as 0, then looking into A2 again confirming it as zero and then looking into A1 and again confirming it as 0. And thus giving Missing Part list though I have sufficient quantity to cover the requirement.
That means system is only considering total quanitty.
Can you please advice?
Thank You.
Rahul.

Dear Rahul,
Priority:In this field, you define the priority of the item within an alternative item group. This determines the priority for planned
withdrawal of items. Two items are assigned to an alternative item group (A1) with the following values for priority:
Item 0060 Value for priority: 02
Item 0065 Value for priority: 01
The system reads item 0065 first.

Simple BOM with sub-items (very very urgent)--1 item & 2 subitem

Hi all,
i am creating a BOM with sub-items using 'BAPI_MATERIAL_BOM_GROUP_CREATE'. while creating sub-item, it is taking only one subitem. but i am giving multiple sub-items per item.
i am giving a program where i am assigning 2 subitems to one item.
after tha bapi call, 1 subitem is creating.
i have tried so many times by clearing the work area & calling the bapi for each sub-item.but it is creating only one sub-item only.
i am giving an example of my report.plz correct it if i am wrong.it is veryt very urgent.
any idea will be highly appreaciated.

Hi Mario
For ECR i have done the same and even that is Released and also Status with ECO. but still System is showing the same.
Mario one more thing i have written on SDN pl have a look on Followup material , i have read about your post MRP-MPN.
we are also having the scenario of alternate Material Within the Bom and also wnat to be correct the Procurement Proposal.
how it will be helpfull by the MPN-MRP Set function. i am also searching the same thing into Follow up Material . pl have a look on that.

BOM with alternate unit of measure

Hello team
Is it possible to create the BOM with alternate unit of measure ?
Thanks
JJ

Hi,
Not possible to create BOM by item material with alt unit of measure.
If you want to use other UOM in production, use issue unit in work scheduling view.
If you want to procure use order unit in purchasing view.
For selling use sale unit in sales view.

Material BOMs with document items using RCSBI010

Has anyone uploaded material BOMs with document items using RCSBI010? I set the item category to D, but receive an error in LSMW when I attempt to convert the data. The error specifies that the document items are not valid material numbers. They are not material numbers. They are document info records.

Found the problem. The document number was being mapped to BOM Component IDNRK instead of document number DOKNR.

Mass maintenance of BOM

Hi Gurus,
I want to change gross wt in BOM of nearly 500 materials. Can any one guide me for the procedure of mass maintenance for that.
Regards

Hi,
Use CEWB, select SAP_ITEM for work area, in the following screen, select the Parent BOM nos. & the plant & then press Ctrl + F9.
In the next screen, the output will display all BOM items, now select only those lines which you want to modify & change the values.
Hope the above helps.

BOM with free items

Hi all,
here is the point...
we have the following materials : A, B and C.
We would like to have C offered when having in the same sales document x quantities of material A and x quantities of material B.
How is it possible to make it ?
Thanks.

Hi Raphael!
There is a bonus buy functionality, if customer can choose freely the materials. Have a look at the documentation:
<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/40/c0e238f0d111d2adff080009d2232d/frameset.htm">Condition: Bonus Buy</a>

If your materials are fixed together, then you can define a special BOM type sales set. Here only the header (= price on package) is handled during sales process.

PR generation of Alternate item of BOM

Dear Gurus,
I have a BOM with alternate item group maintenance among 2 item material. Those item group has maintained with proper priority and usage. Now I have a requirement of header item and the priority 2 material has some stock. Therefore, I would like to consume the priority 2 material first and then the PR will generate of priority 1 material, by demand - stock quantity of priority 2 material against of BOM.
Looking for any help from all gurus.
Thanks in advance,
SAP PP

Dear SAP PP,
In this case, I think you should use production version to resolve it. You can create 2 production version in MRP4 view of material master data. You can assign Alternative BOM for each production version. When you create production, maybe you can choose production version what you want. Of course, one is what you need.
I hope it can help you.

Alternative Item group not appearing CS11

Hi all,
We have created BOM with all the substitution materials which can be used at the time of Production.
We have utilised the Alternative item group for this. When i look at BOM for a material say X using CS03 i can see the Alternative Item group. But when i explode the BOM using CS11 i cannot see the alternative item group in it.
The scenario in details is :
For the header material X i have X1,as component with different change numbers and unique validity dates and this component is seen in 3 lines in BOM with alternative item groups against it.
Now when i explode the BOM using CS11 i can see X1 component with alternative group for only 2 line items.
We are in ECC6.0 version, can i ask you whether there is any patch or oss note to be applied.I have tried searching OSS notes but couldnt find them
Please advice as this is of very high importance.
Thanking you
Regards
Raj Kiran

Dear Raj,
What I wanted to confirm from you is ,after executing CS11--->
Changing Layout -
> Selecting Alternative Item group,
priority,Usage probablitity,the values are not shown in the field
properly though they are actually present in the BOM?
So enter the proper valid from dates in CS11(Select the date
on which the alternative item group is active) & also alternative
BOM number properly.
So go ahead as I suggested and even after entering the proper
valid from dates,Alt.BOM---changing layout ,if its not giving
proper results,then go for checking OSS notes.
This is with respect to ECC 6.0.
Check & revert back.

Planning with Alternate Materials

Hi all,
Can anyone tell me how we can plan for Alternate materials in SAP PP with ECC 6.0
My scenario is that we have a BOM for Material A which uses multiple components and if one component is not available than its alternate is used instead.
Material A: Base Qty 100 gms
Component A: Qty 10 gms
Alternate Component A: 7 gms
Component B: Qty 90 gms
Now what we want is that if Component A is not available Alternate Component A should be used in its place. We can manage this through Alternate Item Groups in BOM but this only works at execution level. Is there anyway how we can implement this scenario in such a way that MRP also generates requirements for Alternate Component A
Thanks!
Regards,
Hashim Abbasi

Dear Hashim,
In my understanding the system allows to maintain the priority,strategy and usage probability for the items grouped under
alternative item group.
Priority:This determines the priority for planned withdrawal of items.
Example:
Two items are assigned to an alternative item group (A1) with the following values for priority:
Item 0060 Value for priority: 02
Item 0065 Value for priority: 01
The system reads item 0065 first.
Usage probability:MRP plans these alternative material components according to probability of use.
In this field you enter a percentage to show the probability of using an object in production. Material requirements for the BOM
components are planned according to the usage probability.
The system does not consumes the items as per the stock availability automatically.
Check these threads to explore about alternative item,

How to define alternate items for Spare Parts

Hi SAP Gurus,
My Client wants to implement Alternate items for Spare Parts. It is not a Manufacturing unit.
Actually Client wants their Service Partners to know that
ex., Material A is an alternate item to Material B and can be used for servicing without ordering for Material A.
Whether there is any Possibility to define alternate item in the Material Master.
Off course I have gone through the thread and document of Alternate items in BOM.
I would appreciate for providing Clarity on the subject.
Best Regards,
R.Velmurugan

Hi Velmurugan,
As per your requirement i think you can achieve alternate item group functionality ( as your client is not manufacturing)
You can maintain alternate material in MRP 4 view followup material field or basic data 1 old material Field than develop a ZReport extract the same as of client not manufacturing any thing.
Otherwise refer this document if you to go to Follow up material Functionality.
