Prototype manufacturing BOM

Dear Sir.
How r u ? I am facing a problem in sample BOM.
Here they want sampling materials without creating BOM and routing.
how to do prototype manufacturig BOM.
pleae give me suggestion
Thanks & Regards
Sudha

Hi,
You can create a Engineering BOM for your proto type purpose. Once you finalised the components and process, you can create a Production BOM. Engineering BOM will not be considered for the production orders.

Difference between Service BOM and Manufacturing BOM

One fundamental question
What is the difference between Service BOM and Manufacturing BOM. Also what is the difference between Manufacturing BOM and Engineering BOM.
Why should a business create these 3 kinds of BOM's for their operations. cant 1 kind of BOM suffice ?

This is a business definition that your business people should be able to tell you.
Both are BoMs - it's just a question of which parts are defined under each category.
Usually, "Service" BOMs are created by service org personnel as and when required, eg at new item introduction or new option introduction.
"Manufacturing" BoMs are created by Engineering personnel and are the ones used when creating an order for a machine.
Hope that it helps.
Cheers,
TC

Is it possible to set BOM's Assy Qty to zero

Hi All,
We have a requirement that a consumed material is cannot defined how many qty would be consumed.
For example, a SFC will consume a component material (like Ink). User will mount a bottle of ink onto a machine when the ink is empty. In other words, they cannot define how many consumed qty of each SFC, just replace with a new Ink when the ink is empty.
I would like to ask is it possible to record a SFC assemble which Ink inventory_id and don't care consumed qty? I have tried to set Assy Qty to zero, but SAP ME does not allowed.
Thanks!

SAP has never recognized this legitimate need in BOMs. There are multiple reasons why they should allow quantity zero:
Reasons Why You Need Qty 0 in BOMs
1.      A/R Materials (As Required): Lubricants or Adhesives required to build a product are not rationed out by the drop, or by the bottle, but left to the assembler to determine the appropriate quantity based on SOE instructions. On the drawings, Engineers will call out A/R (as required) in the qty box.
2.     Variable qty items: Shims or trimmer balance weights are issued as one each, but cannot be determined until the assembly of the product occurs. As appropriate, differing quantities are issued to the product to fit the need for the specific machine being built.
3.     REF Materials. Quite often, assembly drawings will need to show the mating interface with other parts of the machine which are not actually part of the assembly. In this case, we would show the interface as u201CREFu201D on one assembly, but as quantity u201C1u201D on another assembly.
4.     Tooling: Tooling needs to be tracked and linked to the assemblies that it is used on. But it does not get consumed on a one-for-one basis with the assembly. So we want to use SAP where-used capability by linking each tool within each BOM where it is relevant, but show the quantity as u201C0u201D. On the drawing tooling is called out as REF.
5.     Must Choose Optional Choices: On u201Cassemble-to-orderu201D products, one of several different choices may be needed for various parts of the machine configuration. These u201Cmust chooseu201D options are items where the machine will not be functional without one of the available choices (such as three choices of tires on a car. The way these options are handled on the drawings is by showing them with Alpha characters in the quantity field where you u201Cmust chooseu201D one of the u201CAu201D items, one of the u201CBu201D items, and one of the u201CCu201D items to have a fully configured, workable machine. On the BOMs, we call out all the choices as qty 0, with a note to refer to the customer sales order for which choice has been made.
6.     May Choose Optional Choices:   On u201Cassemble-to-orderu201D products, in the case where an option is a u201Cmay chooseu201D option you may either order or the option or not; the machine will operate fine either way. In this case the option would show on the drawing with an u201C*u201D in the quantity field and on the SAP BOM, you would call out quantity u201C0u201D with a note to refer to the customer sales order for which choice has been made.
7.     Acceptable Substitute Items: In some cases two interchangeable part numbers may be acceptable to use in the product. For example, two manufacturers make RF drivers that are fully compatible and work fine in our machine. But Field Service required the use of two distinct part numbers for reliability tracking, so the drawings allow for either part A or part B to be used. Depending on the current cost/reliability/availability of the two parts, we will designate one item as quantity u201C1u201D in the SAP BOM and the other item as quantity u201C0u201D. On the drawing, you call out one item as quantity u201C1u201D and the other as quantity u201C*u201D with a note explaining the ability to substitute one item for the other as desired.
8.     JIT KIT support: In order to efficiently procure and build product, we may create documents that are u201Csetsu201D of material that can be procured on a single PO. So we end up with one set of drawings depicting way the machine is built and resides in the field for the next X years, and another group of drawings defining sets of material in special packaging aiding in efficient build of the product. On both groups of drawings the quantity would be u201C1u201D (or whatever qty is needed on the machine) but in the SAP BOMs, only the JITKIT BOM would have a quantity >0. The manufacturing BOMs would call out the u201Csetu201D as qty 1 but all the individual pieces of the set would be called out as qty u201C0u201D. In that way when you look at the where-use of a component in one of the sets, you would be able to determine what assembly drawings the item appears on, and also which drawing is the u201Cactiveu201D driver of the material.
9.     Request to move certain items to later in the build process: Assembly drawings usually show the assembly in the finished state, as the assembly will look out in the field being used by the customer. But internally in the factory we often desire the assembly to be built to an unfinished level with some pieces missing to allow for easier testing of the full product. Or we may choose not to put the final cosmetic touches on a machine until close to the shipping point in order to avoid scratching or denting of exterior surfaces. For example, a modulator assembly will be built with recyclable in-house panels and only have the finished panels swapped out for the recyclable tooling panels at the clean, pack, and ship operation. Other assemblies will have access panels omitted altogether to allow for easy access for machine tuning in final test. These missing panels would be added at clean, pack, and ship. So in the SAP BOMs, we change the quantity from u201C1u201D to u201C0u201D in the assembly BOM, and create separate BOMs showing quantity u201C1u201D with the clean, pack, and ship items that complete the assembly built days or weeks earlier.
We have more than 25,000 occurrences of these types of needs for quantity zero in the BOM. Our work around (until this SAP "bug" is fixed is to assign qty .001, then uncheck the production and costing relevancy within the BOM (Item Status Long Text).

Zero quantity in BOM

Hi,
I been through many thread for BOM component quantity zero, but i need suggestion for my specific case.
some stock materials they treat as consumables (those have high price items used in shop floor)so they want category as consumables in BOM and want to enter specific material number with zero quantity.
i can create "C" category by avoiding back flush option for them but how can we give zero as quantity.
Any suggestions specific to consumables in BOM?
Thanks in advance.

SAP has been very backward in not recognizing the need for quantity zero in the BOM. Every other system I have been exposed to over a 30+ year career in Materials Management allows this capability. Oracle allows it. Baan allows it. APICS classes speak of the need for it. Only SAP seems to not "feel the need". I think this is because somebody at SAP 30 years ago said that because you can't divide by zero, we (the programmers) can't figure out how to calculate certain things. Well in 30 years, I figure they could have written the code necessary to ignore calculations for costing and other things whenever you bump into quantity zero. What, maybe ten lines of code would cover that?

Is it possible to change Item Category of BOM component

Hi,
We are in the process of implementing Guided Structure Synchronization (GSS). GSS helps in Syncing Source BOM (Engineering BOM) to Target BOM(Manufacturing BOM).
During the creation of EBOM, designer may not have complete information about the Item category, So by default it is set as "L"(Stock Item). When MBOM is created, It should have correct Item category. Using GSS, while synching operation from EBOM to MBOM, Item category is also copied and it is not allowed to change.
Is there any way to change the Item category before Sync operation in GSS.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
OmPrakash

Hi Omprakash ,
BADI used is /PLMB/GSS_FIELDCONTROL .
    Conflict is created based on Postion type. SAP recognizes this conflict and gives conflict in Reconsliation workbench.
    When user solves this conflict , BADI /PLMB/GSS_ACTION for our customer defined Action.
     In this Implementation , Target Vertex would be deleted and New Vertex is created.
    Key Mappings has to be adjusted with new Vertex.
   I have seen some side effects of this Solution. I am trying to solve them.
Thanking you,

Manufacturing

If youu2019re looking for a company that has the proven expertise in custom manufacturing and prototype outsourcing, youu2019ve come to the right place. OSI is not only a prototyping manufacturer but a full service sourcing company that can take care of all of your manufacturing needs.
For more information please visit [outsource product development|http://www.outsourceindustries.com] or [custom manufacturing|http://www.outsourceindustries.com/manufacturing/]

Control the process with Outside Process Work Orders. You create a Work Order and a parts list in the normal way but have a two step routing, the first step is the Outside Process done by the Third Party and the second step is receipt of the goods back from them (JDE will not allow an Outside process to be the last step on a routing)
With the first operation you will need a OP item number, this is part number which is made up of the Item being manufactured plus the characters OP plus the operation number, this part number represents the service that the 3rd party is providing and is set up as a Stock Type X, Line Type X
When you run R31410 to attach the parts list it will automatically raise a Purchase Order on the 3rd party
You can then issue the parts to the Work Order in the normal fashion and since you have a P/O for the manufacturing process this will acount for the 3rd party labour

BOM type assistance

Is there a place that I can go to find out clear information on the differences in BOM types such as when to use a 1. Manufacturing BOM as opposed to when I should use a 2 Engineering BOM. I am VERY new to this and want to make sure that I am using the correct BOMs! Thanks in advance

HI Krishna
You Have Only One Option Which IS Production BOM
The Production Bill of Materials (BOM) represents a finished product (parent) comprising different inventory components (children). During the production process, you turn the components into the finished product. Select the Production BOM to include the product in the MRP run and to process standard production orders.

BOM Resources Sharing across organization

Frnds
My Client is in 12.1.3 , Is there any set up in Oracle manufacturing (BOM, WIP, INV) , which can help in sharing Resources (machine. Human) across Organization
with required accounting too ??
e.g
Inventory organization – INV1 and INV2
now if any discrete job in INV1 or INV2 needs any resource then it should be issued from common resource organization. Also that resource accounting will be done in that specific balancing segment other than balancing segments specific to inventory or WIP valuation accounting
Any help would be a great help
Regards
Abhi

What is the version of apps you are using? Fact: in R12, for average costing organizations, if you refer original order line to RMA the cost of return is same as original order line. also there are some more features that relate to the revenue and COGS recognition.
That apart we may have these options:
1. Make branch warehouse organization as standard cost. Use the cost as of the start of the year. Now when you return the goods into this org you always cost at standard. At end of the year, you update your standard cost to be equal to the average cost of new item at the time of the year. Depending on whether your average cost is higher or lower you will have increase or decrease in inventory value (hence other account).
2.Use cost hooks creatively (have to test this): Cost manager always checks whether cost hooks are used or not (there are two types one for cost and one for accounting). In the accounting one, if it returns -1 means hook is not used (I guess). So have a piece of code in there that inserts record into mtl_transactions_interface of branch organization. The transaction type you use here is average cost update (even if you have no quantity you can do this). Call the online transaction manager right after that to make it completely online and still return -1. I will confirm after testing this.
3. If 99% of the times the machines are are new, can you make Branch as Subinventory in that A Organization rather than different org?
4. I see a distant possibility of using order line workflow. Is this branch warehouse only for returns? If that is the case do you refer the original line Id to the RMAs? But the logic remains the same : Using transaction interface for the average cost update.
5.Your idea is also a great one. Why don't you automate that same thing in the order line workflow. Under certain conditions automatically perform inter org transfer to branch as soon you receive into Org A using transaction interface.
Thanks

Control Cycle information missing in COR2

Hi experts !
I encountered an issue in all client about reservations update with control cycle values for alternative items.
We use alternative items in a standard manufacturing BOM. (Strategy 1; probability of usage 100 % and 0 % for the others). These alternative items are WM managed and the control cycle are properly maintained.
When we create the process order, reservation items are created for all items (even for items with a required quantity to 0 which are the ones with probability usage 0 %) in RESB.
When releasing the process order, when the system is reading the control cycl information, only the reservation items with a required quantity different from 0 are updated with the WM info : Staging ind. (BERKZ) , Warehouse No (LGNUM), Storage Type (LGTYP), Storage Bin (LGPLA)
I could not find any customizing functions to manage reservations and control cycles.
I looked for a SAP notes but could not find ant soving our issue.
Do you have any solution to our issue ?
Regards and many thanks for your help...
Philippe

Dear,
Please refer the OSS Note 1136321 - COMAC: Double Transfer Requirements in WM Material Staging
Or you can raise the issue to SAP in that case.

Moving parts to a specific work station on an assembly line

Our company recently purchased the latest release of Oracle. We have all modules available. We are in the process of designing our future business requirements. One of the requirements is to be able to list all items at the work station level electronically. Unfortunately we have engineering BOM's rather than manufacturing BOM's. The way the BOM's are set up the individual parts are used in several different work stations and possibly entirely different departments. How do we get parts to the right workstations without restructuring the BOM's?

Our company recently purchased the latest release of
Oracle. We have all modules available. First off, what piece of software are we talking about? Oracle the company sells a whole lot of different pieces of software. Among the biggies
- Oracle the database
- The Oracle application server
- Oracle Collaboration Suite
- Oracle Applications Suite
- PeopleSoft
Based on your use of the term "modules", I would tend to suspect that you either purchased the Oracle Applications Suite or PeopleSoft.
This forum is for questions regarding the Oracle database. It appears, though, that you're interested in information about configuring one or more applications from the Oracle Applications Suite or from PeopleSoft. If so, you would want to post the questions in a forum dedicated to that particular product.
If you are really asking about the Oracle database, can you define the term BOM?

Questions regarding the best module could be studied

Hello ,, I found a teacher will give me a course in the oracle EBS , and he choice me two programs:
1- Study financial Module then the projects module (bills – management - costing )
2- Study financial Module then the supply chain then manufacturing (BOM , process … etc )
he will give me information on the databases and give me the general details on the administration of the system .
The question now:
1 - Which is better in the market that I am training to become a system administrator in a company or to become a system implementer .
2 – which is better study first program in the project field or the second program in the manufacturing ,
FYI , my previous knowledge that I have experience in the both fields ( projects & manufacturing ) cause my work as Director of computers in a company.
Thank you in advance

Hi user;
You need to decide what you want to do in future, which one comes to more closer to you to be system admin or working on client side as functional consultant. Those subjects totaly different.

Pre-configuration API

Hi,
Would anybody know of Pre-configuration API's ? I want to call the preconfiguration BOM process to create preconfigured BOM in Oracle BOM. This is due to the fact that
we are using the CPQ tool to configure and Quote BOMs.
I want to create the configured BOM Item and their Bills/Routings (manufacturing BOM) in Oracle Inventory and BOM before creating the Sales Order in OM.
I am looking to use API which is used for Preconfiguring Bills in Oracle BOM.
Appreciate any help,
Thanks,

Windchill SAP Interface - tips?

Hello, our PDM is Windchill and we are currently implementing SAP ECC5.0 (+ XI+...).
We want to exchange Material and Manufacturing BOM from Windchill to SAP ECC5.
We heard about CAD Interface . Does someone know how to do thru XI? Should we provide a Webservice via a proxy to encapsulate the functions of CAD? In this case which functions?
Or perhaps another connector could be used.
Thanks for your help,

Hello Fanelie,
there is a very good interface Windchill - SAP available at MHP.

Change Planned order components

When we change a component in a planned order that is different from the manufacturing BOM, is there a way to distinguish what component was changed.

Hi Ramesh,
There is no transaction available to compare Production Order component list to BOM Component list. You need to create a Z report for yourself.
If it is just comparing 2 BOM's then you can use transaction CS14.
Hope this helps...
