Sales BOMs

Hi,
We are running SBO2007A PL5 and have abandoned our use of Sales BOMs as we have had a large number of issues with using them in our Radio Beacon integration.
What we are wanting to do is use the parent code from the BOM as an actual item, so our customers can continue to order using the same item code they have always used.
I have found that if I attempt to tick inventory item, it won't let me because transactions have occurred. But if I tick asset item, and then untick asset item, inventory item ticks automatically and I can then update. I have tested then running transactions using this code and it all seems fine. Note this is after I have removed the BOM.
Is there any reason I couldn't do this?
Thanks,
Michael

Michael,
I do not see why you should not use this method if this really does the trick as you are not actually violating any rules. I have worked on a few SAP RB implementations and I exactly know how things work.
I am curious as you have decided to discontinue using Sales BOM....why did you not look at assembly BOM which fits in RB as built to order item.
Pls let me know

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.

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 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.

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

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,

Problem with Sales BOM

Hello All,
The problem is related to Sales BOM where in the Item Category Group we maintain ERLA and the free item gets populated with the main item in the sales order with a different item category and the pricing is shown as statistical.
Now I want the system to show any error message or stop the next proceeding whenever the stock of the free item alongwith the main item or viceversa is not available or if there is any partial availability in case of free item & main item or viceversa.
Please suggest how to configure this or if any routine or user-exit need to be maintained for this.
Thanks & Regards

hi
check the Sale order User Exit and code your logic and make use of it

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
