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.

Multiple Material Selection linked to Equip BOM

Dear Experts,
We have Equipment BOMs.
Now there is a requirement during Material selections in From To fields, that if I select the option 'Material by Equipment BOM' the list of materials under that particular Equip BOM should appear. (Exactly the way 'Material by Material Group' etc do) for this I need to have the above option in the Menu. i.e. Material by Equipment BOM. How do I achieve this?
Kindly help.

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!

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

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

Problem in Material create through BAPI

Hi All,
For creating MATERIAL first used BAPI_MATERIAL_GETINTNUMBER for material no generation and for creation material master BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA.
<garbled code removed>
Moderator message: Post relevant portions of the code only!
My problem is material no is not created and passing into second bapi.
Help me out of this
Edited by: Suhas Saha on Jun 17, 2011 8:01 PM

Hi Venkatesh,
*Use This Bapi :BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEREPLICA and pass values as mentioned below.*
Use this method to create new material master data or change existing material master data. Every time this method is called, data for one or more materials can be transferred.
When new material master data is created, the material number, the material type and the sector must be sent to the method. Furthermore, a short text and the language in which the short text has been created, have to be entered. When data is being changed, only the material number need be entered.
In the header data, at least one view has to be selected for which the data is to be created. Depending on the selected view, additional mandatory parameters that have been defined as such in Customizing have to be created. If not all mandatory fields are field with data, the method ends with an error message being displayed.
First, the appropriate fields in the tables (for example, CLIENTDATA) have to be filled with data by the user. These fields must also be flagged as the method data can only be written to the database if this is the case. The user must also provide data for the appropriate fields that have been selected in a checkbox table (for example, CLIENTDATAX). Checkbox tables exist for tables that do not contain language-dependent texts (MAKT, MLTX), European article numbers (MEAN) and tax classifications (MLAN). More than one data record can be created for a material in these tables (for all materials transferred to the method).
If a structure contains fields for a unit of measure (for example, structure CLIENTDATA, field BASE_UOM), language indicator (for example, structure MATERIALDESCRIPTION, field LANGU) or country identifier (for example, structure TAXCLASSIFICATIONS, field DEPCOUNTRY) then a similarly-named field ending with _ISO also exists. In doing so, the user has the option of using the internal SAP code or the ISO code for units of measure, language indicators or country identifiers. ISO codes are converted into an SAP code for further processing. The ISO code is only used if the SAP code is not displayed. In Customizing under "General Settings", a clear assignment has to be made between the ISO codes and the SAP codes for the following activities, if you want to use ISO codes:
If a structure contains fields for units of measurement (such as structure CLIENTDATA, field BASE_UOM), language indicators (such as structure MATERIALDESCRIPTION, field LANGU), or country indicators (such as structure TAXCLASSIFICATIONS, field DEPCOUNTRY), there is always a field of the same name with the ending _ISO. This makes it possible to transfer either the internally used SAP code or a standardized ISO code for the units of measurement, language indicators, or country indicators. ISO codes are converted to an SAP code internally for further processing. The ISO code is used only if the SAP code is not transferred. If you use ISO codes, there must be a unique assignment of the ISO code to the SAP code in the following activities in Customizing for Global Parameters:
Check Units of Measurement
Define Countries
If long texts (for example, basic data texts, internal notes, purchasing info texts, material notes or sales and distribution texts) or customer-specific fields have to be created for a material, some specific characteristics have to be taken into consideration. These characteristics are detailed in the documentation for parameters MATERIALLONGTEXT and EXTENSIONIN.

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.

Problem loading material master (IS Mill) data from ECC to BI

Hi Gurus,
We have a problem loading Material master data from ECC to BI 7.0 SP 18.
The scenario is :
The ECC is with IS Mill... due to which the Material field MATNR is of length 40 instead of standard 18 characters.
That is data element MATNR has 18 chars and its output length is 40 chars.
When is table MARA browsed using SE16, the material with more than 18 chars.... shows only first 18 characters and are ended with !.
OMSL setting shows length as 40.
When the extractor checker runs 0MATERIAL_TEXT or 0MATERIAL_ATTR it gives correct output ..... which is more than 18 characters... not ended with !
Till here no problem.
On BI side, after replication of the datasource, i checked data element MATNR ... but it has length as 18 chars and output length as 18 chars.
OMSL setting cannot be set more than 18.
Infopackage has pulled data till PSA successfully. I checked the PSA data .... here to the material with more than 18 chars is ended with !.
When the data is further pushed to 0MATERIAL infoobject, it throws following error for all materials irrespetive of its length (example below):
0MATERIAL : Data record 768 ('SIT_PL_B01L_10_01!E '): Version 'SIT_PL_B01L_10_01! ' is not valid
0MATERIAL : Data record 165 ('RLIRS52 E '): Version 'RLIRS52 ' is not valid
Diagnosis
Data record 768 & with the key 'SIT_PL_B01L_10_01!E &' is invalid in value 'SIT_PL_B01L_10_01! &' of the attribute/characteristic 0MATERIAL.
System Response
The system has recognized that the value mentioned above is invalid, and has processed this general error message. A subsequent message may give you more information on the error. This message refers to the same value, even though it does not state this explicitly.
I did search for SAP note related to this... but could not find any.
There is one SAP note (Note 960868) which mentions about this, but the correction was then shipped with BI SP 9.... we are running on SP 18.
Requesting you all experts for help.
Best Regards,
Deepak

Hi,
follow bellow steps:
1. you need to activate the Datasouce in BI side.
Goto RSA1> Datasource> Select Datasource> Double click> Check fileds and Activate.
2. Replicate the Datasource into BI side.
3. Check the RFC connections by useing SM59.

Selection of BOM During MRP

Dear All,
I have three alternatives of BOM.The lot size and the validity period for all the boms is same.Now during MRP Run the system only selects the first alternative and plans the depending materials of that BOM.
I want to set the system in such a way that i can able to select any alternative of bom and carry out the MRP Run.
Please help me ..
Regards
Prashant

Hi Prashant,
With same valid From & To Date and Same Lot Size,
In this case system will select first BOM alternative.
If you want to choose a particular BOM then go for production version ,assuming that u r not willing to change the lot size or valid from & to date,then u lock the production versions which you dont want to show to the system before running MRP except the one which u r willing to choose.
We cant choose manually the prod.version during MRP.
Assuming that in MRP4 view of FERT material u have given option 2 in BOM slection method.
The other way is u manitain different lot size and acccordingly the production version will be selected by the system.
I hope it will help you.

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.
Regards,
Tejas

I would like to understand if we can select a BOM by Vendor

Hi all
I have the following query:
In our subcontracting process we are often producing similar codes on two different vendor locations.
So would like to understand that if we can select a BOM by Vendor
u201CCan't select different BOMs in R/3 for different vendors producing same codeu201D?
thanks and regards

Hi all,
This would probably work but in my client we do not use production versions. This is not for the standard subcontracting process. This would mean that we would have to implement a completely new process involving Product costing as I am not sure if production versions created for subcontracting products would have any impact on them.
could you please tell me if there is no other option to get this to work without using production versions?
I have put a quick example to explain the problem in more detail...
For Finished product 9791070 I have created a BOM with two alternatives:
1 & 2
Each alternative is using a different component...
When creating the Subcontracting PO the system automatically picks the component from alternative BOM 1
Please let me know if there is any other option within the PO creation process or within the PIR to use alternative BOMu2019s without the requirement to create production versions.
thanks in advance

Problem with Materialized Views after an export

Hi @ everybody,
At an Oracle 11g R2 (11.2.0.3.0) instance, all actual CPU's/SPU's are installed, on a Red Hat 6 Machine i have a problem with Materialized Views from a schema, which i have exportet from an old database machine on Oracle 10g (10.2.0.1.0) to the new machine.
I've exportet with the old exp and imported with imp, because i know, that i get some strange errors because of the materialized views when i'm using the new expdp and impdp tools.
At the old machine the materialized views are so programmed, that they get an update of data at a defined time like this:
START WITH TRUNC(SYSDATE) + 21/24
      NEXT SYSDATE+1
...But after the export this "update function" of the materialized view is not available. So i have deleted that views and recreated them with the START WITH parameters. So now they are running.
But why do i have this problem?
Is this "START WITH" somewhere written as a job or so in, for example, DBMS_SCHEDULER or something else? So i had forgotten to export these jobs or where is that defined?
Is this a bug?
Thanks for answers and help!
Best regards,
David

I can't remember the error of expdp/impdp. That is some days ago, i have to rebuild this.
I think in my scenario for the import i don't need the TABLE_EXISTS_ACTION, because by importing at the new server i've just createt the naked tablespace for the data and the users, not more. So he didn't has something to overwrite.
And i have to tell you: i'm just the dbA. The desining of the tables and materialized views is many years ago by installing the old server. I'm just to young in my company to know about the design of the instance and why it was designed so.
Anyway: my problem is, that after the import of the schemas to a new server the "START WITH" option in the materialized views is not there anymore and i just want to why so i can think about a solution for that and create it with the database designers of my company.
EDIT: And here are the SQL Statements for creating the Materialized Views:

)The own differences i can see is at the "header". In the new one is the NOCOMPRESS LOGGING Option and in the first line the code has the columns diretcly defined.
But, i think, for my problem this line is determining:

Material Reservation Through Bom

Hi Gurus,
I have a requirement that when am going to create a order i need to take material from E-BOM only and some of oil and greese i have to select from componets tab, from components tab i dont want to select any other material, so please hlip me how to enhance this task.
please help me on this it ld be very helpful for me.
Regards,
Rahul

Hi,
am using this user exit, when we are entering material in component tab other than E-BOM material, when we are saving it throughs an error it is not in BOM list when am going to delete it from component tab the system doesnt allow me to save the order.
>> i want check list when am entering material in component tab other than E BOM, system thoughs an error that it is not in E BOM,
Eg:
In components Tab: System should Check here only
Material No>>Enter>>It is in BOM
Material No>>Enter>>It is NOT in BOM

Selection of BOM for a purchase order based on Vendor

Hello Gurus,
We have one material which when ordered from two different vendors should have different components. To make this simple and easy for person creating Purchase Order how should it be implemented?
How should we create BOM that it automatically picks up the right components when a Vendor is chosen in the Purchase Order? We don't want to create two different materials and different BOMs under it. As it is for same product. Please give guidance on this.
Thanks
Regards
Sreepati Hari

Hi Hari,
Read the below SAP documentation for the mode of selection of BOM:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
So based on the above you can clearly understand that it is not possible to have BOM's tied to the Vendor. What you can do as a work around is, i.e. before creating the sub-contracting PO :
1. Change the lot size to ensure the BOM you want gets picked
2. Change the validity dates
3. Change the status of the BOM in header, i.e. make the BOM which you do not want as Inactive
4. As mentioned by you, have different materials & BOM for them.
Hope the above helps.

Vivek

Dismantling of material from equipment BOM

Dear Experts
I am a beginner in SAP PM. I have one PM scenario. How to implement in SAP.
I want to dismantle one temperature gauge from one equipment for repaired, first I have to dismantle the gauge from equipment and after repairing I have to reinstall the gauge on equipment. How to proceed for that?
My temperature gauge is maintained in BOM for that equipment. How can I dismantle material from equipment BOM and reinstall that?
Thanks

Hi Iqbal
In IQ01 for the 'material' Temp gauge I created one serial no and equipment. I installed that equipment(temp gauge) on pump as sub equipment. Then before repairing, in IE02 itself I selected dismantle and dismantled. Is it the way you were mentioning?
Alternatively when I use the t-code IE4N it gives the following error massage: -
