Planning Bill of Material to explode forecast in ASCP 11i.10 .

I like to know if in addition to product familly and model bill of material , the planning bill of material can be used to explode forecast to lower levels and through several levels optionally in ASCP 11i.10 ?

Yes, Planning items and related BOM structures should be supported in 11i10 ASCP. The process is fundamentally the same as it is for Model items.
A key consideration is how you want to consume the resulting forecasts. Planning items are never entered on sales orders, so you will be consuming forecast at the component level below, which are typically models.
You may also want to consider product family relationships for these items. You can consume the forecast at that level and then explode to the lower level items.
For true subassemblies or component forecasting, it is often better to use safety stock in the short term and use a demand time fence to drop the forecast for product family members during that period.

Variant config - error Material ZZZ is not copied from the bill of material

Hello guys,
I try to obtain a material configurable in a new plant.
I have more errors and I don't know exactly if the problems are in setting of the variant configuration, or if the problems are in customizing.
When I try to make a Sale Document (Standard Order VA01), the following error occurs:
Material ZZZ is not copied from the bill of material.
Message no. V2003
Diagnosis
When the bill of material was exploded, it was established that no sales document item could be created for material ZZZ.
System Response
The system ignores the material during bill of material explosion.
Procedure
Check if the BOM explosion can be used without material ZZ. If not, delete the main item which lead to the BOM explosion. You may be able to enter an item manually in which the material ZZZ in the BOM.
What do you think it might the solution for this challenge?
Thanks in advance.

hello, friend.
the issue you presented is very broad and requires some more info, such as:
1. what are the item category groups of the material and ZZZ?
2. did you check item category determination in your sales doc type?
regards.

Explode Bill of Material on Purchase Order

When we create a standard NB purchase order, we would like to explode a bill of material for the 1 finished goods material and create MRP requirements for the warranty materials on the BOM. Basically, we want a requirement there so we can create a PO for these warranty materials. We have looked at subcontracting, but we are not wanting to supply these materials to a subcontractor we just want to purchase them from a vendor and bring them into our inventory.
We realize that we can explode the BOM if we start with a planned order. However on alot of occasions we skip over the planned orders and purchase requisitions and manually create the PO.
Does anyone know of a process to explode the BOM from the PO? or maybe a user exit on the PO that would allow us to do this.
We are currently on version SAP 4.6C.
Thanks,
Mark

Hi James,
As you rightly mentioned, the purpose of a BOM is to contain a list of materials. To create
a sales BOM. use T.code CS01.
Here you give the usage as 5 - indicates sales and distribution as there can be production boms also with a different usage.
After you enter inside give the components that make up your main material, say music system containing
Itemcat          material               Qty
l               2 mt wires                2
l               speaker                   2
so on, then save it.
For each of these you should have a material master created. For the main item ie., music system select the item category group as " ERLA " for header level pricing and
" LUMF " for item level pricing.
Maintain item category determinations in VOV4 as
<b>For item category group ERLA</b>
OR + ERLA                         -
> TAQ ( Header level pricing )
OR + Norm +     + TAQ (higher level item cat ) -
> TAE
<b>For item category group LUMF</b>
OR + LUMF                         -
> TAP ( Item level pricing )
OR + Norm +     + TAP (higher level item cat ) -
> TAN
This will setup the scenario you wanted. Now when enter music system in sales order with " 1 " quantity it will explode as
2 wires
2 speaker
as was the component quantity mentioned in CS01.
Hope it helps. Please reward if useful.
Thanks & Regards

Bills of material without plant.

Hi,
what is the impact to create a Bill of Material without Plant ?
Best regards

Hi,
Special features of group BOMS:
A plant check is not carried out for the materials in a
group BOM.
A group BOM is not exploded in material requirements
planning and in the production order.
Group bills of material are mainly created in the design
phase and then later assigned to one or more plants for
production.
A collection of bills of material that lets you describe a
product or a number of similar products.
The following bills of material comprise a BOM group:
All the variants of a variant BOM
All the alternatives of a multiple BOM

Bill of Material in IS-Retail

Can I use bill of Material concept inn IS-Retail Please explain and what arethe issues we face if we implement BOM in IS-Retails since I never found Menu Path from IS-Retail than SD Please give your valuable feedback

Hello Joseph
The BOM concept or something close to BOM concept is very much available and practised in IS retail
Like ERLA and LUMF the item category group determined is SAMM that is generic article in retail
The default item category determined is TAG that is also generic article
In t code VOV7 BOM config strategy and other details are maintained for this TAG
I am also learning retail hence i am not able to provide you the exact details
But it is very much there
Enter the main article in sales order and the subsequent articles exploding in sales order is there
The concept is practised but with a little difference

Bill of material change & Cost collector

Dear All,
In case of our client scenario,they are using REM with standard cost collector.
But the frequency of changing the bill of material is more , So is It necessary to change all the time
product cost collector.
Please suggest.
Thanks In advance
Regards,
Pravin

Hi Pravin,
Hope you are using REM with setting "Backflush with Standard Cost Estimate".
If the BOM Components changes frequently, For settlement the Variance will be more.
Planned Costs will be captured as per Std. Cost estimate, but the Actuals will very considerably.
If it is OK, then there is no need re-run the Std. Cost Estimate regularly.
Hence, your CO consultants role is crucial.
Hope this helps..

BADI after Bills of material change.

hi friend,
I need the name of badi which is called after every change in bills of material for material.
i,e In the TCODE CS02, after changing the quantity and given save, i need to send mail to concerned users intimating them about the change.
I tried using the badi... BOM_UPDATE with the method...Change_at_save, but this method is called before the data is saved into database.
ls help me in solving this.
thank u in advance.....

Hi,
it's quite easy:
Use FM CHANGE_POINTERS_CREATE_DIRECT to write change pointers. You need to define a own Z-message with WE81 and activation in BD50, a field assignment in BD52 is not necessary. Fill the MATNR into objectid, so you know what to search. Maybe the complete MAST key makes also sense.
BP_EVENT_RAISE - look into the FM help to find the transaction to define own events. Just call this FM with MANDT, because events are cross-client - then your job can have a look, if the event was from correct (sy-mandt) client.
Job planning is periodic, but not by time. There is a special option for the events - just have a look, it's quite obvios in SM37, you just have ignored this line up to now.
In the job you select the new change pointer - if there is no change pointer, then wait and select again -> that is the delay for the booking of the transaction. Then you can access the BOM (maybe with a little bit waiting again).
Set the change pointer status = X (FM CHANGE_POINTERS_STATUS_WRITE), so that you don't read pointers twice.
Works good in most times - if you don't wait enough for one pointer, it will be handled with the next run a little bit later (weeks, if no one changes a BOM? You can schedule a daily job for this, too).

Christian

PM - Equipment BOM VS Maintenance Bills of Material

Hi,
In Materials planning, Using maintenance bills of material have advantage , know that there's Equipment BOMs
& Functional location BOMs.
When & How to use the Functional Location BOM ?
When & How to use Equipment BO?
Can we use normal production BOM (CS01) replace all this equipment BOM / FL BOM?
TQ.

Hi,
Production BOM will have the Materials in Header as well as in Item level. Even BOM usage will be defined as Production.
In Equipment / FL BOM, BOM will be created against the Technical Objects. These BOMs will be used in Maintenance Orders. In these BOMs, components of the Equipments (For example, equipment will be motor. Components may be capacitor, rotor, casing, etc.,) will be mentioned with the qty.
Based on the type of motor, components can be different type. So BOMs will be maintained by the MDM people. Maintenance Planner will create the Maintenance Order & BOM will enable him to select the right component (There may be different type of rotors in Material Master, but based on Motor type, rotor should be selected in Maintenance Order).
As Maintenance Planner will not aware of the type of component, BOM will help him to select the right component.

Maheswaran.

C2 223 A valid bill of material could not be found for material 5089

Hi Experts
I have Production orders that use a phantom material 63955 with Std costing control. This material uses three materials (5089,5233 & 5235) of moving average control.
Material 63955 is a HALB and uses all the numbers 5089,5233 and 5235 which are ROH.
With costing material 63955 with CK11N or CK40N, the error is
C2223 A valid bill of material could not be found for material 5089 and the same for 5233 and 5235
Diagnosis
Material 5233 is marked as a phantom assembly. When the system tried to explode a valid bill of material for material 5233, it could not find one.
System Response
The system generates a normal reservation for 5233.
Procedure
Check the bill of material for material 5233
The 5* numbers do not have a bill of material and are purchased externally.
What must I do now please? These materials cannot be costed.
Kind regards
Dawn

Hi..
You check whether material 5233 have procurement type ‘E’ or ‘X’ and
special procurement type ‘50’ in MRP2 view of Material master.
Material 5233 with the above conditions is Phantom assembly.
If Material 5233 is material master for external purchasing, Material 5233
should have procurement type ‘F’ and special procurement type space.

A valid bill of material could not be found for material

Hi,
Our's is SAP release 605. While doing sales order cost estimate (CK51N) we are getting following error message:
A valid bill of material could not be found for material 1000000012
Message no. C2223
Diagnosis
Material 1000000012 is marked as a phantom assembly. When the system tried to explode a valid bill of material for material 1000000012, it could not find one.
System Response
The system generates a normal reservation for 1000000012.
Procedure
Check the bill of material for material 1000000012.
We have checked BOM and everything seems correct. please suggest where I am doing mistake.
Regards,
Bijay

Dear Bijay kumar,
Material 1000000012 is marked as a phantom assembly,so it must be set with a procurement Type E and special procurement
type 50 in the MRP2 view of the material master or else at BOM level.So as a standard behaviour the system is expecting a
BOM for the phantom assembly 1000000012.Check in T.Code CS03 whether you are able to find the BOM components for this
material 1000000012.If BOM is not found means you have to create a BOM for this pahantom assembly because during the GI
for the main assembly/product the system consumes the components of the pahantom assembly and not the phantom assembly
(as in general there wont be any stock maintained for this material 1000000012).
So check with this and revert back.

Lync Server 2013 Bill of Material

Message: I need some help as i am new in the field, but my company want to
explore the Lync 2013 enterprise deployment, so that we may offer to the

I want to create the Bill of Material for some users, which i
can present. Can some help me in knowing the link to do so.

I'll add this much, you've asked a very large question, one that would typically require days to weeks of engagement to scope out based on the needs and planned usage of each region. Session Border Controllers (SBC) alone will require
a needs analysis. You've got some great offers to help but you'll need to provide a lot of detail. One of the smaller keys I'll add is licensing. To ensure you've got the right server licensing, client access licensing,

How to create BOM(Bill Of Material) item data from flat file?

I have two flat files one is BOM(Bill Of Material) header data and BOM item data. BOM header is already created, now I want to create BOM item data with reference to the header data. Is there any standard direct batch input method in LSMW or Is there any standard BAPI or Is there any standard BDC report program to do the task? CS01 is the TCode to create BOM.

Hi,
The DI program works for create step CS01 and not for CS02.
Perhaps this ( adding items in header by Tx: CS02 ) could be achieved by a Recording step in LSMW.

How to Block Bill of material.

Dear Sirs,
Following is the scenario.
Some of our Bill of materials are Imported. These BOM are exclusively procured to manufacture certain Finished Products.
I would like to know how these BOM can be blocked or how i can block the issue of these BOM other than those fixed to manufacture Finished produces.
FOR EXAMPLE : FINISHED PRODUCT CODE   : FG1234
                            BILL OF MATERIAL              : RMXYZ
The above BOM is exclusively imported to manufacture FG1234. This BOM may be used to manufacture other Finished products also, but this should be allowed to Issue only for FG1234. How to configure or should we have to changes in maerial master.
Thanks in advance.

These BOM are exclusively procured to manufacture certain Finished Products.
If you use MTO, then it is possible.
The above BOM is exclusively imported to manufacture FG1234. This BOM may be used to manufacture other Finished products also, but this should be allowed to Issue only for FG1234. How to configure or should we have to changes in maerial master.
If you are using MTO Scenario, then you can achieve your requirement.
If you are using MTS Scenario, Then create a separate material code for each BOM, So that You can avoid using the other production order.

WEB ADI INTEGRATOR FOR Bill of Material

I am developing a WEB ADI integrator for Bill of material upload. The integrator will populate the data in a temporary table, validate it & write the error messages back to the table . On succesful validation the data will be sent to interface tables & then to base table.
The integrator uses a procedure & sends data to the procedure. Procedure then loads data in temporary table & does the rest of work.
To do this i need to know the following thinngs:
1. How i can track the line no of Excel?
2. How do I know that all data are loaded in temporaray table because the validation & rest of work will be done once all the rows of excel are transfered to temporaray table. i.e. How do i determine the End of File in Excel?
3. How do i write error messages from the table to the excel in web adi?
Any help will be appreciated. Please send me the sample scripts & web adi developer guide at [email protected],[email protected]

If you check the XML that Web ADI generates to upload a document you will note that each row gets a row number. It would be a matter of being able to keep track of that number in your table so that when you are reporting the error back you can include that number in the message so the code in the Excel spreadsheet can assign it to the correct row.
I would suggest trying to use even some of the basic validation mechanisms provided within Web ADI, as these will automatically return the error messages for bad data to the correct row in the spreadsheet.
Web ADI will take the uploaded data, perform any validation check defined within meta-data then push the data to your Interface table. There are plenty of examples in th shipped code of product teams then using the Import phase of the upload to perform additional checks and then push the data further. But if you can utilize the existing Web ADI functionality. The data never ends up in the table in the first place to require any clean up on your part.

Error while deleting Bill of Material

Dear Expert,
when i am deleting complete Bill of Material for a plant, i am getting error as Engineering change mgmt called with data that could not be interpreted
Message no. CC092 or some times Message CC 061with diffent message
Diagnosis
You have chosen an engineering change management function.
As the function module was called with an incorrectly configured interface, the data could not be interpreted.
if i ignore this error message & save it then it will delete whole BOM. But i unable to understand why this error getting. recently we have implemented EHP-3 also for FI Module & also implement SAP Note:1278790 to resolve for BOM creation error.
