Material Provision Indicator - BOM

Dear All,
In BOM, i find Material Provision Indicator. I would like to know how does the system treat this in terms of MRP run. The F1 help on this field indicates that indicator 'K' is not used at the moment (Ver 4.6c).
So what impact will it have on the MRP run if i maintain 'K' or there is no impact at all?
At the moment have some idea, but would like to be clear, so await inputs on this.
Vivek

Hi,
In case of L - Matl provided by Vendor , MRP will generate Pur Req for the FG which is to be subcontracted and no Pur Req will be generated for the components with this indicator set. This means that there is no need to procure and issue the components to the vendor. The Vendor takes care of the components.
In case of K - Matl provided by Customer , MRP will generate Pur Req for the FG which is to be subcontracted and also Pur Req will be generated for the components with this indicator set. This means that the customer has to procure and issue the components to the vendor. through ME2O.
Hope its clear.
Regards,
Sheik

BOM (CS02) - Set field "Material Provision Indicator) automatically

Hi experts,
does anybody know a possibility, if I can pre-fill the field "Material Provision Indicator" automatically, on creating a bill of material?
We would like to have L as default.
Kind regards

Hi,
in the transaction CS01 or CS02, go to "Settings" > "MatProvision ind....".
This allows you to default it.

Production Order - Modify field Material Provision Indicator for component in the production order

Good afternoon,
I have a component in the bill of material, that has the option Material Provision Indicator activated.
When i create the production order, the component automaticaly is activated with the Material Provision Indicator option.
However, in the production order, this field isn't possible to modify, because is closed.
Anybody knows way the modify this field? Configure to open?
Thanks.
Kind Regards,

Hello Amar,
I am also getting the same error while Releasing Production Order and Costing (CO11N). This error is related to EHP7 in our case.
Please try one of the following solution and see whether the error is gone or not.
1. Implement the SAP Note 1317551 - Error AD_SUBCON 141 / 143 / 144 (T417)
OR
2. Complete the customizing of Material Provision Indicator (T Code OICO) as per the attachment.

Material provision indicator

Hi, In BOM maintained material provision ind as K (provided by customer) for one roh material. Run the mrp, observed that PR generated for that roh material. pls note that particular roh material will be provided by customer, so we no need to procure it. Pls advise what need to be set so that mrp will not generate PR for the same. thank you.

Hi,
If material is provided by customer then why you are using ROH material type. In this case you can use UNBW (Non-valuated material) type, so no accounting entry will generate. Refer following link for further information:
Non Valuated Material (UNBW)

Material staging indicator not populating in prod order WM pick list item

Hello,
I have an issue with material staging in an prod order
1) PP-WM interface is activated
2) Control cycle for material is created
3) Production storage location is created for material
4) storage type is 100 for production
5) There is one discontinued material and also the follow up material
6) stock of discontinued material is zero and requirement are passed to follow up material
When we confirm the order the stagging indicator for both follow up material as well as discontinued material automatically populates zero (Non relevence to pick list items) where as it should be one (1 - for pick list items).
One more issue user has manually inserted discontinued material as well as follow up material in production order change mode.
In the BOM of a main material both discontinued as well as follow up material is there with some quantity as a component.
For the same work center, control cycle , production storage location the indicator is populating.
These two material (discontinued as well as follow up) are appearing twice in the WM pick list screen where first two line items are OK and populating indicator "1". But in line item last and second last indicator is not there.
My question is why the stagging indicator is not automatically populating in the production order WM pick list screen in front of components.

Unfortunately, WM material staging via production orders is not possible
from the pull list. Please see the long text of message RMPU 311
(WM material staging for production order reservation not possible):
"You cannot carry out a WM material provision for pick parts from
production order reservations in the pull list". The reasons for this
are cleary explained in the SAP on-line documentation via the
following path :
Logistics -> Logistics Execution -> Warehouse Management Guide ->
Goods Issue -> Goods Issue for Production Supply ->
Material Staging for Repetitive Manufacturing
See the following under the Selection heading :
The choice of the selection type influences which types of WM material
staging are supported in the pull list. However, the pick parts can be
staged via RS headers/planned orders but not with the current BOM
explosion. The release order parts, on the other hand, can also be
staged if the current BOM is used for calculating the dependent
requirements.
WM material staging via production orders is not possible from the pull
list.
I think you may try in CO02 or COR2 for production order or process order.

IS MILL - Customizing of material provision indicators incomplete

Dear PM Gurus,
We are currently implementing SAP IS-MILL. We have completed the basic configurations for Technical objects and BOM. But whenever we try to create a BOM, it throws an error in the ITEM/LONG text screen,
Customizing of material provision indicators incomplete Message no. AD_SUBCON141
Please help me find the solution
Thanks in advance,
Sunanth V.Narayan

Hey Sunanth V.Narayan,
Well you need to configure the Material Provision Indicators for BOM as it is a requirement for use in the Subcontracting process of IS-MILLs. You can configure the Material Provision Indicators for BOM in transaction OICO. The normal material provision indicators used are 'K' - Material Provided by Customer, 'L' - Material Provided by Vendor, 'S' - Material for Subcontracting/Rework from Vendor.

How to maintain alternative material in a BOM for a component.

how to maintain alternative material in a BOM for a component.if stock for existing bom component is less then it should consider other alternative material in the same BOM

HI,
You can maintain alternate material for BOM Component by specifying Alternate Item group as below;
Go to CS03/CS02--> Items-> Select Component and go to details->Basic Data Tab--> General Data
Pls. find more details about Alternate Item group maintainance as below:
Alternative item: group
Consolidation of alternative items within a BOM. Every material in the assembly can be included in the alternative item group.
Use
As soon as you enter an alternative item group, you see an additional dialog box with the following data: ranking order, strategy, usage probability.
You can maintain alternative items in the following situations:
Alternative positions with specific usage probability
These alternative items are incorporated with a specific usage probability. Enter the usage probability for each alternative item in the group, so that:
dependent requirements are determined in requirements planning
dependent requirements are changed to a reservation in the production order
Alternative positions as information
You can enter an alternative item for information purposes. This item would then, for example, only be taken into account in situations involving missing parts.
As there should be neither dependent requirements nor a reservation for this item, enter no usage probability.
Procedure
Enter the same character string to denote the alternative items of an alternative item group.
Enter the same strategy for all alternative items in the alternative item group.
Dependencies
Alternative items are valuated in the following way:
Dependent requirements determination
Requirements planning determines the dependent requirements according to the usage probabilities that have been entered.
If the usage probability is 0%, then no procurement is planned for the item. For information purposes, however, dependent requirements with 0 as quantity are created.
Withdrawal posting
You can control the withdrawal posting for the resevation in the production order in the following way:
Withdrawal according to usage probability (manual change is possible)
Withdrawal if there is 100% availability
(Check ranking order and strategy)
Example: See Strategy for alternative position
Further you can also maintain alternate material if you want to stop using this material at certain time as below:
In material master of the material ,
Go to MRP-4 View----> Under Discongtinued parts specify
Discontinuation Indicator
Eff-out.
Follow-up matl
So system will automatically consider follow up material in BOM as per the settings you have maintained for the material to be replaced.
Hope this helps.

Tejas

any body please guide me what should be the right procedure to achieve this.
Already iu have searched found a thread Can we define alternate material in a BOM try to apply our expert suggestion but it is not working.
Kindly anybody help me to solve the issue.
Thanks & Regards
Sandeep Kumar Praharaj

Hi Ramagiri,
I have gone through your document but my user wants he should select the component according to his requirement.
for that purpose i have opened the planned order in md12
select the first component make the usage probability to 0.
select the second component change the usage probability to 100
after that requirement has been transfer from first alternate component to second alternate component.
But after when i am trying to do the backflushing through MFBF second alternate component is not showing in overview screen it is still showing the first component.
can u please help me why it is happening & explain how to achieve this point as you mentioned
Thanks& Regards

Reg. Usage of finding Highest Material based on BOM items/Components

Dear Experts,
My requirement is that i need to explore the highest level of material based on BOM item / components as input criteria.
I am using FM 'CS_WHERE_USED_MAT' to get the header BOM based on BOM item. But i need to get the header BOM based on BOM item as input criteria and check whether the Material Type of Header BOM is 'FERT' (Finished goods). Else, i need to get the next highest level of BOM based on Header BOM got in the previous step and check whether Header BOM is 'FERT'. Else, i need to continue to explore the next highest level of BOM. Kindly let me know the logic i need to use or any FM / BAPI available provided by SAP. Kindly help me in the above regard.

Material Whether in BOM or not

Dear PP Experts,
We have a query, we have at least 300 material whose consumption are not coming. We want to know out of 300 material which are bom components and which are not used in any bom. The report should be transfferable into excel.
Any simple method, any t-code by which we can get this report.
Full points, wil be rewarded, if problem solved.
Thanks in Advance,
Ishu

Dear Ishu.
There's no standard report for meeting this requirement.
In one of my project for the same customer's requirement we
have develop a customized report.
Use this Functional Module "CS_WHERE_USED_MAT" and
you have to develop a customized report for this by creating a
new Z transaction For Eg :creating a T code ZCS15.
Give the Functional Specifications to your ABAP consultant
and get it done.
If any help needed revert back.

Can we define alternate material in a BOM

Dear All,
Can we define alternate material in a BOM,If yes,How???
pl. guide....
Tushar Aute

Hi,
In BOM , alternative items are assigned to alternative item group on the general data tab page.
In the production order in the general data tab page.
We can define the alternative item based on priority , strategy and usage probability.
Priority:
This defines the priority of the item within the alternative item group.
This determines the priority of planned withdrawls of items.
EX Two items are assigned to alternative item group
item A Priority 1
item B Priority 2
The system reads the item A first.
Strategy:
use the strategy to determine how the planned withdrawl is controlled
within the alternative item group.
The strategy should be same for all alternative items within a alternative
item group.
If the value 2( 100% check) is defined for the strategy the first material in
the defined priority sequence for which sufficient quantities are available
are reserved.
Usage Probability:
MRP Plans these alternative material components according to probability
of use.Material requirements for BOM Components are planned according
to usage probability.
The planned withdrawls for the production order are based on the reservation lists.These lists are based on the priority and strategy.

nandha

Problem in material selection in bom

Hi,
we have finish material A,semi finish B, raw material C1,C2,C3.
we have created material BOM for semi finish B.
material      usage      alternative BOM          component.
B                  1                    1                             C1, C2.
B                  1                    2                                C3.
I created bom for finish material A using semi finish B mentioning alternative bom 2. it is not picking the component which is there in alternative BOM 2 i.e. C3.
in cs11, it is showing only C1, C2.
Can you solve this. it's very urgent.
thanks/regards
vish

Dear Vishwanath,
For Product B ,while checking in CS11,in the input parameters,after entering the material ,plant , enter alternative BOM value as 02
and then application - PP01 and check the output that you are getting.You can see C3 been displayed.
For Product B maintain 2 production version's with different Lot size say production version 1 with BOM alternative 1 with C1 & C2 for
Lot size range 1 to 100. and let the production version 2 be with BOM alternative 2 with C3 for lot size range 101 to 500.and the BOM
Selection method in MRP4 view should be 2 for product B,now create a planned order for B for LA type first for a quantity of 10 and
then for a quantity of 200,check which BOM the system is picking.
Doing the configuration settings in OPPQ - at plant level for BOM selection ID and routing selection id affectes all the materials.
So check with the solution which I have given and revert back in case of any more help.

No specification is assigned to the material in the BOM item

hello
when I want to create or modify certains BOM (cs02), i have this error message.
It is a warning, but nothing is done in the BOM.
Where does this error come from ?
And how to solve it ?
Thans

see below the error message :
Item material 421Z2811-2001 is not assigned to a specification
    Message no. CM_BOMBOS052
Diagnosis
    No specification is assigned to the material in the BOM item
    00125813-0240.
System Response
    The system cannot create a composition for the bill of material since
    there is no material-specification assignment.
Procedure
    Ensure that the items in the bill of material are assigned to one
    specification in each case before the composition is generated.
    Otherwise errors occur during generation and you have to repeat the
    process.
I Don't know, what is a spécification in a BOM ? Never we have used a "spécification"

Missing raw material position (from BOM) in process order

Hello to all,
Please help me on my issue on missing raw material position (from BOM) in process order.
On transaction CS11, for a particular formula/plant/BOM application, the BOM was produced. It was found that this BOM has 20 positions (from 0010 to 0200).
Now, when the user proceed on the process order for this, the position 20 is missing into the order. What checks should be needed to proceed on checking why the item is missing into the process order?
Thanks.
Regards,
Patrick

Patrick,
The last check what i would suggest is to check the "Plant-Spl- material status" of the material in line item 0020. You have to check this using transaction "MM03" and in MPR1 - view.
You can check the defination of the status in the customizing transaction "OMS4", here check under "Production Section".
I definately think that there was a error message which should have popped up and ignored by the user due to this defination of the status.
Regards,
Prasobh
