Referencing Sales BOM on Contracts

Hi All,
I have tried searching but have not found many specifics to answer my question. We wish to create quantity contracts for sales BOMs which have pricing at the "parent" item and we pick and ship the "child" items. I have assigned the same item categories we use on sales orders, ZTAH (parent) and ZTAC (child), to the contract order type.
I have entered the BOM on the contract and it explodes and prices per usual. I am able to reference the contract when creating an order for the BOM, such that each line on the order contains the contract document in the referenced field. However, the BOM on the sales order does not decrement the contract quantity for the "child" items. I have compared the item category configuration and copy control between ZTAH, ZTAC, and the standard BOM item categories, and don't see what the problem could be.
Any help is appreciated!
J

dear friend,
please run t-code VTAA for your contract/order types
and have a look at item details - do you have 'A' in "Copy quantity" field?
i also recommend to test the fileds "Cont.item copy made" and "Copy product select" (if still doesn't help)
good luck!
p.s. in the item category configuration do you have any settings regarding the Bill of Material?

Link sales Order with contract

Hi,
We have created a sales orders using va01,but without referencing to contract.
is there any way to link these sales order to the old contracts.
Pls help,
Thanks

Hi,
If your sales order has subsequent documents then it is not possible to link to your old contracts.For such orders this option will be disabled.
For those order that don't have subsequent orders:
Goto VA02 T.Code.
Enter the order number.
Enter.
Ensure that the customer numbers are same in both.If not change the custoemr numebr in order.After that Click on Sales document-->Create with reference.While changing the customer the taxes will be redetermined.
Enter your contract number.
Click on copy.
New material will be added here to your old one.If you want then you can keep this or delete the material of your order and then save.
Or you can assign your sales order to contract also.
Goto VA02,Enter your order number.Edit-->Assign contract.Her you can assign either Header or item also.

Creating a Sales BOM in SAP CRM 7.0

Hi All,
How to create a Sales BOM in SAP CRM 7.0 system? What is the transaction code for it ? I want to define a high level Package material in the BOM and 3-4 low level items in this BOM. What are the steps to achieve this ? We do not have ECC system connected to CRM and we are using CRM 7.0 as stand-alone system.
Thanks in advance.
--R D

Hi R D,
Please could you let me know how you achieved this. I am trying to do the same thing. But when I assign products in the component relationship, it does not explode when I use it in a contract. Please let me know if the solution you used.

Use of Sales BOM to force ATP against Bulk Material?

Background:
Our business was recently acquired, and we have migrated to the parent company's R/3 system. In our previous MRP system (R/2), we planned, produced, and shipped a single bulk Material ID in Trucks, Rail Cars, Flexi-Bags, and Iso-Tainers. In the new system, specific Material IDs are now required for each of these modes. However, we do not store the inventory in these modes, nor do we wish to plan at this detailed level.
Considered So Far:
Initial suggestion was to use A.T.O. to look through a BOM and automatically create production orders for each customer order. However, this seems to add additional complexity that we do not really need, and makes changing order dates more challenging (have to move both the order and the accompanying Prod. Order).
Desired Outcome:
Order is entered and priced based upon the mode-specific Material ID, but inventory is relieved from the Bulk material. In our previous R/2 system, there was a field on the material master called "Std.Prod." which stood for Standard Product Link. We used it for synonymous products where we produced and inventoried under one name, but sold under several different names. The customer materials were set up as type SALE and referenced the inventoried material, set as type FINI, in this Std. Prod. field. Thus, at the header level, the user saw the SALE material, but for planning and at the batch level, the system showed the FINI.
Options?
I am told that, due to the amount of custom coding and user exits surrounding outputs and interfaces to EDI and other external systems, the use of Material Determination would require too much testing and potentially too much development work. But, is it the best / correct solution to the problem? Because right now, I don't have the ability to perform ATP against the inventoried Material, so nothing confirms. Would the use of a 1 to 1 Sales BOM offer anything different?
Many Thanks in Advance,
J.P.

Hello JP
Material Determination (MD) works with Consignment orders, only you need to assign a MD procedure to the requisite sales document type in config ( TO code OV14). Product substitution, which is a specialized form of MD, makes use of special item cats like TAX and TAPS or TAPA and TAN for main and substitute items respectively, but you can always make copies of them and use them with consignment orders also in conjunction with item category usages like PSHP. PSEL, PSA1 and PSA2. There could be resultant issues, but unless you test you won't know them all.
Your second question about 'Sale would go against the finished good (Truck / Rail material) while the production costs go against the Bulk', brought a new realization in me. You are ordering, pricing and delivering Truck or Rail materials, but those requirements have to be converted to Production orders for bulk material, so from a Sales and Distribution (SD) point of view you don't need anything extra, therefore work with you Production Planning (PP) consultant to convert the requirements at PP end?? May be without resorting to MD or BOMs in Sales, you can work with your PP consultant and with standard config or custom development, you may realize your desired outcome.
Also as long as cost is maintained in the sales Material (Truck for example) with due regard to the additional costs in converting Bulk to truck, you should be fine. Follow the example below:
Standard cost of 1 ton , say X, is stored in Bulk Material master.
Now if there is no additional cost and you just load the bulk material into a truck and if a Truck is 10 ton, then Truck material would have 10X in its material master for cost.
But if there is some other material and/or labor involved in converting bulk to Truck and their cost is y, then you will have (10x+y) in your truck material. Also it is worthwhile to capture the additional cost in the Production/Assembly order via components and operations.
Your problem is not insurmountable, but you need to assemble a team of SD. PP, MM and CO experts to design an integrated solution for you.

Wrong Availability check for Header Item in Sales BOM after BOP

Hi Guys
I am stuck with a very weird problem. Request your advice:
I have a Sales BOM with one item Lets header is 'A' and Item 'B'. On creation of Sales Order ATP check is performed and both the line items (with A and B) the committed qty and committed date.
Now when BOP runs, it deletes the allocation of A and changes it to '0'
Details:
'A' is a non stockable product
Req:
1. I am not sure whether I should include A in BOP selection, however even running it only with B it deletes the allocation of A and the committed qty changes to '0'
Can you please suggest the solution or standard way of running BOP for Sales BOM
Thanks in advance

Thanks for writing in Prasun
Yes I created a new Filter type however when you add a STO category and then you change the fields to include item category you will get the same error. I am also in V 5.0 of SCM
Normally we use SAP_NetChange filter type. So is it possible to restrict using item category for this filter some how!
On the otherhand I also wonder these should not ATP relevant as the header item is non stockable item! And I guess there should some catch to exclude if not item category as you mentioned!
So the order categories included are:
Customer Inquiry
Customer quotation
Sales Order
SD Scheduling Agreement
SD Scheduling agreement w/external
Contract
Delivery w/io charge
Independent requriement
Release from customer in plant
STO
Deplyometn release
TLB release for purc ord
Fields
Product
location
distribution centrer
MRP area
product Hierarchy
Location hierarchy
supplier location
These are std filter type and I cant be modified.. however we restrict our filter to location only!
Kindly advice!
Thanks in advance

How to transfer sales bom from SAP R/3 to APO?

Hi Experts,
I just want to ask how to transfer sales bom from R/3 to APO? if i change my bom usage to 5 and use this BOM in my Production version be enough to send it to APO?
Also, this is my first time using sales bom, could you please help me understand how sales bom work in APO planning?
Thanks so much.
Mylene

Hi Senthil,
Thanks again for your reply. I was trying to CIF sales BOM in APO but only the header material are being created in APO. The component are not added in PDS. This is how I create it in SAP R/3:
1. transaction cs01 --> enter header material, plant and BOM USAGE =5
2. inside cs01, i entered components, quantity for each components and ITEM category = L (stock item)
i also eneterd base quantity for header material
3. create production version for header material with routing and this BOM
4. create and activate material CIF model for header and components
5. create and activate PDS CIF model for header and components.
After doing all these steps, PDS is created in APO but I only have the header material (no components)
I tried changing BOM to other bom usage and components were populated in PDS.
Am i missing nay steps? Thanks.
Regards,
Mylene

Error: Sales BOM / delivery document creation via DI API

Running into an error from SAP when trying to post a Delivery Note document object via the DI API.
-5002 -You cannot add a document with a bill of materials that does not include all components
I have a Sales BOM on a Sales Order. All components have been included within the Delivery Note object. When calling the document Add() function, SAP is pushing back with the error above.
Does the fact that the components of the Sales BOM are also BOMs themselves make a difference in whether the DI API fails or succeeds in posting the Delivery Note?

Does the fact that the components of the Sales BOM are also BOMs themselves make a difference ?
I believe the answer is YES.
Thanks,
Gordon

Schedule Lines for Sales BoM Material

Hi All,
When i trying to maintain the multiples schedule lines for the Sales BoM Material(Both Header and Item), system is not allowing to maintain it.Please guide me how to achieve this?

Hi,
"Schedule Line allowed" is enabled at Item category. The Requirement is If we have multiple schedule lines for BoM Line Item, we are not able to maintain. Suppose the Order Quantity is 50 Units and we need schedule line of 10 Quantity each month. We are not able to maintain. System takes the complete 50 quantity and do the availability check and proposes the availablity Date. We are not able to maintain different schedules manually.

Sales BOM Header line item confirmed without components in Delivery

Hi Experts,
The issue is about the delivery is created with the single component for the Sales BOM where as it contains two.
We have analyzed the issue and checked that the missing component would have not been available in the stock during the time when the delivery is created and hence is not included(Header material and single component is included in the Delivery).
The user's concern is; when there is no stock for any one of the component, then it shouldn't have confirmed the header material. Kindly suggest.

Hi Azam,
It seems to me that you want to use Delivery Group for Sales BOM where If Mat A = Mat B + Mat C and Mat B Availability date is 20/07/2014 (DD/MM/YYYY) and Mat C availability is 25/07/2014 then Main line item should be confirmed with 25/07/2014.
If any one sub Item is not available, then Any of the item from the Grouping should not be dispatched.
If this is the requirement then, In Item Category (VOV7) for main Item update Create Delivery Group field with X and your requirement will be fulfilled.
Do let us know the result after testing.
Regards,
MJ.

Sales BOM is not working for one Distribution Channel

Condion Type "VPRS" should not appear in Sales Order, Inquiry, Contract

Hi Gurus,
Normally when you create Sales Order/Inquiry/Contract, in the Condition Tab VPRS Condition Type will appear and show the cost price of Materail from the Material Master.
My Client requirement is, VPRS Condition type has to be calculated as "Statistical" Contion but IT SHOULD NOT APPEAR IN THE CONDITIONS TAB IN THE SALES ORDER/INQUIRY/CONTRACT.
Thanks,
Bala

hello, friend.
try sapnote 105621. this is about restricting view of condition types (i.e. vprs) in sales orders by creating anauthorization object for cond types..
i wish to discuss our experience with this, as we had the same business requirement.
first, we simply deleted vprs from the PP. this did not affect financial accounting, until the client decided to implement std cost estimates. we had to bring back vprs.
now, we did the sapnote, which required joint efforts among SD, ABAP and BASIS. although we were able to restrict view of vprs in the cond tabs at itm level, this was still visible at header level. also, a resourceful data encoder can always find ways to view the same in, for example, the document flow or materials movement data.
however, try this and maybe you will get it right.
regards.

Sales BOM & Free Goods Material

Hi There are 2 materials X & Y
For few distributors it goes as Sales BOM
1) if you enter 5 qty of X , it picks 2 Qty of Y also in Sales Order
i have Created Sales Order BOM for same.
item category group of X is ERLA
item category group of Y is NORM
For few distributors it goes as Free Of Charge materials
2) if you enter 5 qty of X , it picks 2 Qty of Y also in Sales Order
both are Free
Now in both cases material code X is same & i cannot change item category group of X as ERLA
How to achieve this?

Sales BOM And Free Goods workaround

we have 1 good with a sale BOM and we want to give the Same good away as a free good, so if the customer buys 10 he gets one free, however there is a problem with the BOM not exploding. Can anyone suggest a workaround this.

Hi
I think this is a standard sap issue.
When we give a free good the item category becomes TANN. Now BOM material will have different item category. TAB.
Now for BOM category material, i think there is no free good item category. Probably u can try creating a new category which wil be a free goods category and which will carry all the characteristics of BOM mateerial.
Furthermore i think this will be issue only with exclusive free goods. But if u have inclusive free goods then there will be no BOM issue as there will be no other line item added for free goods.
Kind regards
Sandeep

Sales BOM And Free Goods

hi,
I have the following problem, for one of our materials (Norm), we have a sales bom for a material (Nlag). however with the same material, we have free goods of the same main material inclusive. what happens now is that i can only explode either the sales bom or the free goods, but i require both to eplode together.

Dear Reshigan Govender,
This cannot be taken as a part of the standard functionality. For this development is required.
Do let me know in case of any queries.
Hope this helps you.
Do award points if you found them useful.

Rakesh
