Order selection through routing GC and alternative BOM

Dear Friends,
I am having 3 routings and 2 BOMs for a single BOM. All these combinations are applicable for all lot sizes. Without using the production version, is there any other way...to select BOM & routing. Actually while creating Prod ord manually in CO01 ... system should propose for the selection BOM and Routing. It should not take the first routing or BOM. Is there any way in customization ..for this?
Regards.

Hi
As explained by other members the bom and routing selection is automatic by default in customization. You can change this and by selecting it as manual. However, we strongly recommend you to use Production versions as they will make your job easy and mistakes can be minimised.
Hope this is useful

Alternative bom and routing selection in planned order

hi
how i can config the system so that while creating planned order
system has to select the alteranative SEQUENCE and alternative routing ?
at opl8 we do this for production orders what about the planned oreders
in scheduling parameters of planned orders we can give only selection ID
WHAT about alternative SEQUENCE .
IN the same way how the system selects the alternative BOM with date in planned order
iam not creating production versions
plz suggest
sasikanth

Hi,
If you r using Prod Version then system pick ups the BOM attached in first valid production version.
So, normally put more frequently used BOM in your first Prod Version.
You have more options to use:
- lot size (defined in BOM header)
- production version (several option you have: lot size, manually assign a PV to a planned order)
- you can use explosion date (OPPP, Logistcs > Production > MRP > Master Data > BOM by date)
MRP 4 (in material master) > 'BOM explosion/dependent requirement' tab > you can set selection method according to your wish.

How sap trigger alternative bom ?

Hi Experts,
We need setup alternative BOM, like Part A is used up, then it could use another BOM with part B.
But if we setup new BOM as alternative BOM, do we need use produciton version, then it could trigger out differnt BOM?How SAP could trigger the different BOM or production version ? Could it by MRP?
Thanks
Alice

Hi,
For BOM Alternative Selection you need to maintain any of the following settings in Material Master --->
MRP-4 View->BOM Explosion / Dependent Requirements->Selection Method :
Method for Selecting Alternative Bills of Material
Indicator determining the selection of the alternative BOM when requirements are exploded in material requirements planning.
Use
With Selection by order quantity, the system chooses the alternative BOM into whose lot size range the order quantity falls. The lot size range and area of validity of the BOM apply.
With Selection by explosion date, the system chooses the alternative BOM into whose area of validity the date falls according to the setting BOM via dates.
With Selection by production version, the system chooses the alternative BOM defined in the valid production version. The lot size range and area of validity of the production version apply.
With Selection only by production version, the system chooses the alternative BOM defined in the valid production version. The lot size range and area of validity of the production version apply.
If no production version is found, no production orders or process orders can be created.
Hope this helps.
Revert if any doubt.

Ordering iphone through at&t

At&t right now is shipping the iphone 4 in 7-10 business days, while apple is offering it in 3 weeks. I was wondering if it best to just order it through at&t and cancel my apple order, or to just wait it out?

You are taking a chance either way but I've had really good luck ordering from AT&T both last year with my 3GS and this year. In fact, I went in yesterday morning and waited in line. I got a 32 and was able to come back at noon to pick up a 16.

How can I select alternative BOM when creating subcontract purchase order?

In our business, a finish good material always has different production versions at the same time. Each of production versions has its own alternative BOM. When I create a planned order, I can select wanted BOM through specifying production version.
But, when I creating subcontract purchase order, there is no field for me to specify the production version or which alternative BOM I prefer. In this case, I need to create a planned order at first. And then, convert the planned order to purchase. Only through this way, I can create a subcontract purchase order with my wanted BOM.
So, I wonder if there is any way to select alternative BOM directly when creating subcontract purchase order.
Thanks a lot!
Regards
Robbie

Dear Mr. MM
can you give me additional information about your solution?
BUT I would not expect the sytem to offer you during the Purchasing cycle the different Production Versions as it is not meant to be. I remember having the same requirement some time ago and we solved it the way I described above, additionally we created a Pop up window with a user exit during the PO creation which offered the different production versions and if the one linked with the quota arrangement, the standard PV, is used in the PO.
We also have the same problem, we activated businessfunction SCM_GEN_02 so that it is possible to have several production versions for one supplier, but unfortunatly it is not possible to change the production version in the purchase order. (business function does not seem to be very integrated)
So i would be very interested in your solution because acually it seems that i have to modify the sap standard.
Thank you and best regards

Alternative selection of routing in production orders

in routing there are 4 operations
operation   descriptions                                      work centre
0010        ONE SIDE CENTER GRINDING            A
0020        ROUGH MAJOR DIA.GRINDING            B
0030         FINISH MAJOR DIA. GRINDING            C
0040         ROUGH/FINISH THREAD GRINDING     D
operation 0020 & 0030 having alternate routing for for different work centre sayE & F resp.
now, i want solution/setting for automatic selection in the production order of alternate routing of E for B & similarly alternative of F for C resp.
if anser is not possible then please give other alternative
regards,
mangesh

H Mangesh,
In R/3 capacity of resources will not be checked while creating both planned order and production order. Thats why you have option of APO-PPDS for more accurate planning across plants with complete capacity check.
You should design your routing with approperaite work centers to carry out manufacturing tasks and with this lot size criteria only autmatic selection of work centers are possible.
Otherwise you have to do changes manually in production orders. For this create alternate routings and order dependent parameters checked the indicator "alternate routings are allowed".

CO01 CREATE SHOP ORDER MANUALLY SELECTING ALTERNATIVE BOM

Hi, I can see how to set-up alternative bom selection when using mrp to create shop orders automatically but when we are manually creating a shop order and there are two alternative boms how do I select the second alternative at the time of creation, our set-up defaults to alternative 1 and gives no choice to select the other. Each alternative has different components of course and allocated to different operations.
Hope you can advise me, thank you.
Craig Wood

Hi Craig Wood,
u can select desire alternative bom while creating Production order manually by creating two production versions for your header material. Do the following settings..
1.create two production versions and assign your alternative BOM - Mrp view of MM01.
2. define BOM selection Ind = 2 in (By production version) In Mrp view.
3.then define selection of production version = 1 (Manual selection)for your order type and plant - in OPL8
4. Now create pro ord , give your qty and date`s then sytem will show one pop-up window here u can select the production version .

MRP run including Alternative BOM & Routing in sequence.

Dear Experts,
My client has maintained alternative BOM & Routing for there In house production materials.He wants to execute MRP run which can include all BOM's & Routing in sequence. Like, first MRP run should check material requirements as per first alternative followed with second & third alternatives.
Regards,
Rajesh.

Dear Rajesh,
ur req is not possible in that way. coz MRP run select only one PV or BOM and routing at a time and if stock is not available then it will genrate the req.
You can try with this rather craeating an alteranative BOM create alternative group of material so when u run the MRP system will check the stock of first matrial and if short fall is there it will go for next.

Alternative BOM in Production Order

Hi PP Experts,
I have a small issue which is like this:
I have two Alternative BOM for Material "A".
When I create production order it displays both Alt Bom for selection.
When I select the second Alt BOM, in production order it still reads the First Alt BOM.
Please advice.
Regards
Mohan

Hi Mohan,
I suggest if you have two alternate BOM for a material, you can use the production versions and assign the same for the material in Material Master MRP4 view.
Create Production Versions 01 and 02 and assign the alt BOM 1 for the PV 01 and 02 alt bom for PV 02.
Goto SPRO : Production -> Shop Floor Control -> Define Order type dependent paramters ( Tcode : OPL8) : Define the Production Version Slection either 1 for manual and 2 for automatic. (if you use automatic system will select the version based on the material master selection method )

Alternative bom selection

hello,
i want solution for alternative bom selection.
for eg.
i have material say X00100 which has two alternative components
                            A00100

first & if there is no stock then it will pick the material   B00100
please give the solution
marks are sure

Hi,
Try using this concept.
In BOM alternative items are assigned to alternative item group on the general
data.
In the production order in the general data tab page.
We can define the alternative items 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.
If value 1 is used( manual maintainence/ usage probability) depending upon the
availability you can manually with draw components.
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

Why won't my orders go through?I had no problem until March 2014 now I get charged and no coins or nothing happens after it says it went through

Why won't my orders go through? I had no problem until March 2014 then I got charged 7 dollars plus and got nothing. No coins. I put in a new credit card today it said it went through but got no coins

    Motherto2, I'm sorry to hear that you weren't able to turn your phone on! I know how important it is to rely on a phone, especially when traveling. I'm hoping this issue has been resolved, but if you still need assistance I can provide a few steps. First try clearing your system cache.
1. Boot into recovery
   o Press and hold Power, Choose "Restart" option
   o When screen turns off, press and hold Volume Down and Power
2. When the white HBOOT screen appears, use the volume button to move down to “RECOVERY.”
3. Press the Power button to select “RECOVERY.”
4. When the triangle and exclamation appears, hold the Volume Up and Power button at the same time.
5. Using the volume button, scroll down to “Wipe cache partition” and select it.
6. Select "Reboot system now"
If this is still not going thru, attempt an alternate master reset. http://goo.gl/MSrgE
If your phone is still not booting up after these steps, the device may need to be replaced thru warranty. Let me know if you still need assistance.

Alternative BOM selection in Subcontracting purchase requisition

Hi,
We have three alternative BOM for one semi-finished material.
We created production three production versions for respective BOM, and maintained the prod version in to subcontracting info record.
But without creating any production versions,
Can we select the BOM alternative at the time of creating subcontracting purchase requisition in ME51N,

Why do you want to select BOM at the time of PO creation ?
If BOM components differ based on quantity of finished product, then these FG quantity range can be specified in from-lot-size and to-lot-size fields of production version - and SAP will pick the appropriate PV based on PO quantity.
If BOM components to be provided to sub-contract vendor differ based on vendor, then specify that in the info record.

Alternative BOM picking at the time of creating sales order.

Dear All,
I have on requirment and it is as follows.
I have 3 alternative BOMS for one material in same plant.Now sales order is created for this materila which alternatibe BOM will system pick.
If there any possibility to customise alternative BOM picking at the time of creating sales order.Please let me know what settings do I need to configure for this.
Thanks for your support and time.
With Rgds,
Babu

hi,
this is to inform you that,
1. since you have 3 alternative BOM's. so by default system will pick up that BOM which is first according to hirearchy level at the plant level.
alternatively if the same material is going to be used for different purpose (PRODUCTION OR PLANNING), SECOND ALTRENATIVE bom will be picked.
2. you will have to assign the BOM which you want to pick add it to the picking list (ASSEMBLY OF THE PRODUCTS/COMPONENTS).
in CO27 - maintain the range of components at component level with plant as same for which you have already created a BOM.
create a sales order according - that alternative BOM will be directly assigned to the sales order.
please check and confirm.

Alternative Bom in Subcontracting Purchase Order

Hi Friends,
Can you suggest me how to pick alternative Bom in a Subcontracting Purchase Order.
Rgds, Krishan Raheja.

create the production version and assign that to sub contracting inforecord and system will pick based on the production version assigned to info record
Production Version
Key which determines the various production techniques according to which
     a material can be manufactured.
The production version determines the following:
     o the BOM alternative for a BOM explosion
     o the task list type, the task list group and the task list group
        counter for allocation to task lists
     o lot-size restrictions for repetitive manufacturing
