Sales BOM Quotation Can't be Rejected

Hi Experts,
I want to Reject a Sales Quotation which is having a Sales BOM. Even if I put the reason for Rejection on the Reason for Rejection Tab its not working. Still I am able to create a Sales Order based on the Rejected Quotation.
This issue is only for BOM normal Quotation I can Reject. Its working perfectly.
Waiting for your help.

Hi John,
Once tthe Draft Quotation was changed and resaved are you sure it was saved as a draft again ???? or was it saved as a final document. Only when you save the draft document as a final document it cannot be seen in the draft document list.
Please check the same.

  • Dicount condition multiplies with quantity in sales bom(quotation)

    hi,
        i am trying to create a quotation for a sales bom(va21) while i give condition type rb00(discount value) as a header condition (eg.rs 50) it multiplies with no of line items(eg. 10 line items) in the sales bom and gives and shows my discount as rs 500 rather whereas its only rs.50 for the entire document, and also for regular materials if i have 2 different line items. need help .
    regards
    leo

    Hi Cond type:RB00 is header/item conditon
    means, it can be entered manually at the header level & this amount will be copied to each line item.
    if you want Rs.50 is for entire doc-
    then use the group condition/header cond. - Cond type:HB00
    this will solve your prob-
    RB00 acting properly as desired.

  • Sales BOM in Quotation

    Hi Friends..
    In my existing ERP i am configuring Quotation scenario.
    I am now able to process all the functionality of Quotation, but for SALES BOM.
    I am unable to explode sales BOM in Quotation.
    Can anybody advice me whether Quotation can be with Sales BOM or Not?? if it is possible then i am using LUMF Category group for the BOM in Sales Order, and it is giving me the perfect results as required.
    Now can anybody help me in customizing the Item category in Quotation for SALES BOM Exlosion??
    i hope whatever i have mentioned is enough to give you idea about the scenario.
    expecting answers from the experts in the forum.

    The customizing of item categories depends on which item u want to be priced (main item or subitems).
    check these things:
    1. in VOV4 for main item category: check the extent of explosion in BOM structure scope field.
    since you are using main item category group as LUMF
    the standard setting in system is that main item is not priced and sub items are priced
    sales doc typeLUMF__+__>>TAP (not relv for pricing) - Main item
    sales doc typeNORM__+TAP>>TAN (Relv for pricing) - sub items
    ensure that the respective item category groups are set in Material master record(view sales:sales org:2)
    hope it helps, let me know if u still face problem. And if it helps give some points

  • Can sales bom contain sales bom?

    Hi,
       Can any tell me in SAP standard can one sales bom's item is another sales bom's header? For example, material code " A" is the header of sales bom, it has 3 component materials: A1, A2,A3. If A3 is another sales bom's header, it has 2 components:B1, B2. Can this suppose support in SAP ?
       When i entry material code "A" in sales order, will it bring out  A1,A2,A3, B1,B2 ?

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 3rd Part Dropship Scenario with Sales BOM

    Hi
    We have a 3rd Party Dropshipment scenario with Sales BOM with susequent Debit
    Characteristics of Sales BOM
    Sales BOM is created
    Header Material is Valuated but non-inventorised (Accounting and costing view should exist)
    Component Material is Valuated and inventorised
    In Sales order, Pricing is done at the header material not at the components level
    During Billing we get the COGS for the header material (cost coming from VPRS)
    No VPRS exist at component level instead we have copy of VPRS just to capture the value in COPA for our reporting
    Process
    1. Sales Order created with Sales BOM exploded in sales order.
    2. At the Item level Purchase requisition is created.
    3. PR for the components is converted to PO
    4. Vendor Delivers the components to Customer.
    5. Statistical GR done in our system.
    6. Invoicing is done in MIRO
    7. We directly do the Billing. Billing is created at header level. Revenue and COGS is reported at Header level only.
    We are stuck when we are doing the Subsequent Debit (can be for any unplanned cost). For Susequent Debit we are not able to report differential COPA at header level.
    Normally whenever you do subsequent debit in case of 3rd party dropship for normal material, COPA document automatically attached to Billing. This is happening because of the behaviour of VPRS condition type. In our case VPRS only exists at header level and not at component level but replenishment is for components. Subsequent debit is also happening at component level. We need it to be reported at header level.
    We need some solution to this.
    Please advise
    Regards
    Neeraj
    Edited by: NEERAJ BHARDWAJ on Dec 2, 2011 5:12 AM

    Hi Raj,
    Please clarified your requirement here, you mention that you wanted to valuated COGS at actual cost of PO? That sound more like actual costing here and what is the reason for this requirement?
    Is this MTO with variant configuration?
    If this is MTO with VC, Yes - we do cost Sales Order and here is the brief steps:-
    Price Control S
    a) Sales Order Creation - Normally when you save this will be costed and marked automatically. Note that condition type EK02 will represent the cost here
    b) Run MRP based on Sales Order requirement which resulting planned orders, PR, etc
    c) Convert PR-PO, Planned Order -> Production Order
    d) Confirmations, GR on PO which valuated according to the SCE Costing in step a)
    e) PGI will be based on the GR value on step d) which is also your SCE Costing
    f) Any variance between PO and SCE need to be settle.
    Thanks,
    Ong Yang Lim

  • Sales BOM and Incompletion Log

    Hi SAP experts.
    We are on ECC 5.0. Wer are exploding sales BOM in sales orders. I have a requirement that if for certain reason a BOM fails to explode for a particular line item then that item should be go an incomletion log. I was able to select field VBAP-STKEY (BOM ORIGIN) in incompletion procedure at the item category level.
    However the problem i have with this is even if the BOM explodes the order is set to incomplete once I add VBAP-STKEY to the incompletion procedure. I find the VBAPSTKEY also gets a value of 5 in the table however the order is stil shown as incomplete. I am not sure if this is a bug.
    If it is not possible to control this via incompletion log is there a way to ensure that if a sales BOM does not explode in sales order the system should not create delivery for that line item.
    Any response will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Praful

    Dear Praful
    You can try with this.
    Go to OVA2, block "Sales-Item" and double click on "Procedures".  Again block on "Standard Item" and double click on "Fields".  There maintain as follows:-
    Table::Fld name::::::::Description:::::::::Screen:::Status
    VBAP:::UEPOS:::::::Higher-level item:::POST::::::04
    thanks

  • Sales BOM - Delivery Quantity check during post goods issue

    I am working on a problem in my company.  We are running ECC6.0 ehp 4.  We are using standard ERLA functionality with sales bom (5) for product kits.  Delivery manager has requested that we investigate a system check during delivery post goods issue.  THe problem is that when shipper processes delivery, if they have to backorder they update pick and delivery quanity on the TAE item.  They should also update TAQ delivery quantity, so that backorder amount is correct.  If they make data entry error, backorder quantity is incorrect.  The delivery manager has tried a number of attempts to re-train and correct mistakes.  He is now asking that SAP issue a hard error if TAQ and TAE delivery item quantities are not the same.
    I have searched on SAP Notes, Forms, and Google and do not see solution.  I know that at delviery item category there is a minimum qty check for the item category.  I've not found a user exit or configuration point that checks quanities.  Does anyone know of out of the box solution?  Or where would I put in custom user exit?
    Test Case
    Create Standard Order
    Enter Material with Sales BOM
    ITEM A     Qty 10
    BOM explodes with Item categories
    ITEM A     TAQ parent
    ITEM B     TAE child
    Create Delivery
    Delivery has item categories TAQ and TAE
    TAE is pickable, TAQ no pick
    Process TAE
         Pick quantity of 5 items
         Change delivery quantity to 5 items
         Forget to change TAQ delivery quantity
         Pack 5 items
    Post Goods Issue the delivery.
    Is there are requirement/routine than can be run at time of PGI that checks TAQ delivery quantity is the same as TAE delivery quantity.  If quanities are not the same, show hard error and message do not allow PGI to complete.
    Thank you
    Tony Romain

    I tried setting that field in the sale order this morning.  By defaulting it to "C"; I was able to get warning message for TAE line.  I was able to post goods with TAE and TAQ, being different quantities.  I need the check to determine if TAE and TAQ delivery quantity are different.  Using this fields seems to be line specific.  Thanks for the suggestion.  I now know what that field does to the delivery.
    I rewarded points.
    Thanks,
    Tony

  • How to transfer Sales BOM from ECC to APO DP

    Hi,
    Demand planning require Sales BOM from ECC. Sales BOM in ECC will not have Routing & Work center, then how a PPM with Sales BOM can be transferred.  If i have to create a dummy routing & WC for those sales BOM it will be tidious job to create all the master data. Is there any way to transfer the BOM alone from ECC to APO.
    Please throw some light on it.
    Thanks & Regards
    Shan

    Hi Somnath / Ritesh,
    Are you sure about ciffing Sales BOM(usage 5)to APO as PDS ? Did you test it or your comments are based on SAP documentation?
    I tried to CIF Sales BOM as SNP PDS, it is creating PDS with only parent item.Child items are missing.I have not used any production version here.
    If i use production BOM(usage 1), it is creating PDS with both parent and child items.I have not used any production version here also.
    SAP says BOMs can be ciffed to APO as PDS. No productions versions are required. but it has not mentioned about BOM's usage. May be , Is it by default production BOM?
    One more question, Is it possible to create production version with BOM usage 5? It has no meaning right..
    I think system does not allow you to create production version with BOM usage 5.
    I also tried with BOM usage 2. In this case also it behaves like sales BOM.
    looks like only production BOM can be ciffed with proper BOM structure in APO.
    if required i can send you the link to share screen shots.
    Pls comment..
    regards,

  • Cost of Sales BOM

    Hi SD Gurus,
    Need to know how to calculate the cost of the sales BOM that I have created. When I create a sales order for the sales BOM, it explode all the components in the sales BOM. All of them have condition type VPRS which state the cost of the component but the actual FGD sales BOM does not have VPRS condition type in them. The item category for the sales BOM is customised as ZTAI, Banded without pricing.
    I tried looking at the header and there is a VPRS conditon but it is for the whole order. The order may or may not include other sales order item that is a Sales BOM.
    Am i missing something here. Pls help and points will be awarded. Thanks

    Hi all SD Gurus,
    Thank you very much for the fast response.
    I think my SD config person did not check the "determine cost" in VOV7 for that item category. Will ask him to do so but am interested in the below suggestion also.
    at parent level, in which case all the sub-items pricing components are collated (totaled) into the parent item.
    Dear Kookie,
    Can you advise how to perform the above also from a cost perspective, i.e. adding all the VPRS found in the sub items and adding them to the main item

  • 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.
