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!
Regards
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

BOM explosion in subcontracting order according to revision level

Hello experts
I have different revision levels available for a subcontracted material, e.g. the BOM of this material has different versions depending on the validity date.
When a BOM explosion is carried out in the subcontracting order (either in the purchase request or in the purchase order) the selected version of the BOM is done accordingly to the delivery date. It does NOT take into account the revision level even when I change it manually.
Do you have any idea if it is possible to force SAP to consider the revision level instead of the delivery date for the BOM explosion ? (custo, user exit, BAdI, ...)
Many thanks
Amaury

Hi
BOM explosion in Subcon PO will be carried out automatically when you select the item category L.
If you want to control the BOM selection based on the Alternative then you can go with Production version option and get the help from PP consultant to create the production version.
Assign the production version in Subcontracting Inforecord.
Click the BOM explosion button the switch to alternative BOM during the PO creation.
Hope it helps

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

CO01 CREATE SHOP ORDER MANUALLY SELECTING ALTERNATIVE BOM

Hi, I can see how to set-up alternative bom selection when using mrp to create shop orders automatically but when we are manually creating a shop order and there are two alternative boms how do I select the second alternative at the time of creation, our set-up defaults to alternative 1 and gives no choice to select the other. Each alternative has different components of course and allocated to different operations.
Hope you can advise me, thank you.
Craig Wood

Hi Craig Wood,
u can select desire alternative bom while creating Production order manually by creating two production versions for your header material. Do the following settings..
1.create two production versions and assign your alternative BOM - Mrp view of MM01.
2. define BOM selection Ind = 2 in (By production version) In Mrp view.
3.then define selection of production version = 1 (Manual selection)for your order type and plant - in OPL8
4. Now create pro ord , give your qty and date`s then sytem will show one pop-up window here u can select the production version .

Selection Of BOM & Routing at the time of production order creation

Hi guys,
Please clarify how i can go about for the following mentioned scenario
I have one Master BOM(Finished Product Level) & alternative BOMs for that,similarly i have one Master Routing & alternate routings for the same finished product
At the time of production order creation is it possible for me to choose one of the BOMs & One of the routings of that particular finished product without creating a production version?
Awaiting for a quick response
Vijai

Hi vijai prasad shanmugam ,
In the material master MRP-4 view under the BOM selection you can maintain on what fatcors you want the BOM to be selected Viz. Selection by order quant.,Selection by explosion date.Selection by production version etc.
As far as the master recipe is concerned ........ I guess that if there are more than one valid master recipe maintained then SAP will prompt to select the one manually.........
But it the standard practice to maintain the production version ....... for the similar situation to the one that you have mentioned.
Please Let me know if I can help you in any way regarding this........
Please reward the points......... in you find the ans helpful.....
Thanks

Cofiguration step for SubContracting Order Cycle (SCO)

Pls,provide me the the configuration steps of SCO(Suncontracting Order Cycle)

Sub Contracting Cycle
(1) You have a material that can be procured externally, and you have maintained BOM with components. Any waste generated and received during subcontracting process can be maintained as component with negative quantity. (special procurement type should be 30 in material MRP2 view for the mateiral you are getting back from subcontractor)
(2) You create a subcontracting PO (PO with Item Category L). You can also maintain Purchase Info Record for Subcontract category for material and subcontractor.
(3) You make a transfer posting to issue components for SC PO. Material is sent to subcontractor. As material remains under your ownership, system does not make any value entry. But quantity is shown as "Material Provided to Vendor"
(4) You receive finished material against SC-PO. You also specify components consumed in manufacturing of finished goods. Additionally, if you have negative components in BOM, now you'll also receive subcontracting by-products. There are three events, so three accounting entries are generated:
DR FG Stock/ SC By-Product Stock
CR Change in Stock (FG/ SC By-Product )
(for finished goods received)
DR Subcontracting Charges
CR GR/IR Clg
(for moneys payable to Subcontractor)
DR Consumption (Components)
CR Change in Stock (FG/ SC By-Product ) 0
(material provided to Vendor is now charged to expense)
(5) You do the IV for SC Invoice, and the process is complete.
Process of Subcontract in MM
Sub-contract business process:
You want to buy material from the supplier (processed material/ assembled item) , but for some reason (quality of certain item / price ) you will give some component to vendor .
Vendor shall process the item / use the item provided & supply the final item.
SAP process:
1.Create the finished goods material code.
2.Maintain the BOM for the material.
3.Create PO with item category as "L" .
4.Issue material to vendor with movement type 541
5.Receive the material against the PO with movement type 101.
6.MIRO to account for vendor's invoice for the service charge& material used by him.
Note:: At the Time of GR 543 Mvt is up dated for Raw Material.
Can anybody tell me how a process has to be given to subcontracting?
Suppose, I have 3 operations 1)weaving 2)dyeing 3)cutting & packing
if no 2 process (i.e Dyeing) has to be given to subcontracting, what process should i follow ?
The following process to be followed for subcontracting.
1. Item code(material master) to be created at the stage of before dyeing.
2. Item code(material master) to be created after Dyeing as subcontracted item.(F30)
3. Bill of material to be created for the material(2) calling for material(1)
4. Info record and source list to be created for material(2) with the corresponding vendor
5. PO to be released for material (2)
6.Along with PO the material(1) to be issued to vendor
7.On receipt of material when GR is made the stock with vendor will get updated.
How to Create a Subcontract Order?
To create a subcontract order, proceed as follows:
Enter the material you want to order and the item category for subcontracting (L) in the order item.
Press ENTER to display the screen for component processing.
Enter the components that the vendor requires to manufacture the product.
Please note:
u2013 You do not need to enter the date required for the components. This date is proposed by the system when you press ENTER.
It is calculated as follows:
Delivery date of the item - Planned delivery time
u2013 If you do not want the quantity of the components to be changed if the order quantity of the end product is altered, set the indicator Fixed quantity (column F).
u2013 You can determine whether the components are available on the date required by selecting Edit -> Availability check.
If you entered a bill of material as the material in the subcontract order, the components are created automatically.
If you want to determine the components in the bill of material at a later date (for example, if the bill of material is subsequently changed), choose Item -> Component -> New BOM explosion. The existing components are deleted and redetermined in the bill of material.
Save the purchase order.

BOM, Routing and production order

Hello Guru,
we notice something, our material 1256 has maintain four alternative bom as of this date:
Alt BOM       MRP4 Prod version BOM stat       PV lot size Routing Grp    Route Lot
1                          ACA                            02                 0 to 0             5000001            0 to 999
2                          ACB                            02                 0 to 0             5000002            0 to 999
3                          ACC                            02                 0 to 0             5000003            0 to 999
4                          ACD                            01                 0 to 0             5000004            0 to 999
can the difference be of lot size can be a factor why still even though alt BOM 1 with PV ACA was still pick when we do CO01 and CO41 in creating production order? we have already set-up in master data MRP4 tab Selection method = 3 which a expert also advise us to do for those inactive bom material not create a order, but doing this still not solve our problem
and also does in MRP4, under the selection method, INDIVIDUAL/COLL can affect the selection of production version when creating order? what does the following works:
blank = ?
1 = individuals requirements only
2 = collective requirements only
thanks a lot

Hi Ryan,
- As all the production version containes same Lot size.So system will pick first which system finds in C223.
So each time you will find default selection of Production version ACA in Plan Order and Production Version.
blank = ?
1 = individuals requirements only
2 = collective requirements only
Blank means Individual and Collective both.
What I have observe with this selection is whenever you are going to plan for MTS system will plan with collective requirement and in case of MTO it will plan with Individual requirements.
May be others have some other idea (Actually I also want to verify it).
- No there is no impact of Individual/Collective requirements on Selection of Production Version.

BOM explosion in sales order

Hi Experts,
I have met a problem in BOM explosion in sales order.
I have maintained the BOM with usage 5 and the conversion between header material and component of the BOM. But in the sales order entry, no matter how many qty I entered for the header material, after the BOM explosion, the qty of component is 1.
Can anyone help?

Hi,
Go to CS02 and select ur bom and go to components give 1 that means 1;1

BOM explosion in process order

Dear PP experts
In my scenario, the sales order and process orders for the corresponding line items got generated by uploading some details of master contract through some Z code. The client provide me details regarding the BOM for the process orders from their third party software, which process through XI. I have to trigger that bom into process order. for that i first maintain the bom details in CS61 and then trigger the "Read Master Data" in process order manually. Now i have to do it automatically. means when the BOMvdata flows from third party software, it should get updated in cs61 and simontaneously "read master dat" should get triggered. how can i do this. please suggest

How to transfer posting with reference to Subcontracting Order?

Hi, Experts,
Regarding to the SAP SCM510 handbook, in the section of subcontracting,it mentions 3 ways to post the provision of components from own company to stock for vendor:
1.) Transfer posting with reference to subcontracting order
2.) Monitoring of Subcontracting stock(using t-code ME2O)
3.) Transfer posting without reference to PO(using movement tyep 541 + O)
For the items 2 and 3, I can understand the processes but for item 1, I don't know how I can perform Transfer posting with reference to subcontracting order? Anyone can explain me on the processes?
Thanks in advance.
Fanghua

Shetty,
Thank you for your help. I am really a new SAP learner. I wasn't aware of the transaction code MB1A, MB1B and MB1C etc. But I tried the way you mentioned, it works.
My initial conern on this is really from the Enjoy transaction - MIGO. I tried to select the tranaction - Transfer Posting but it doesn't have Purchase Order(or subcontracting Order) as reference.
How can I transfer posting with reference to subcontracting order in the transaction - MIGO?
Thanks.

BOM in standard PURCHASE order/requisition

I would like to use BOM as a specification of a "group" of materials procured many times in the same or similar configuration.(eg. servers with specific configuration listing all parts).
Is it possible, to use material BOM in standard purchase order (NEITHER SUBCONTRACTING NOR PRODUCTION ORDERS) as a kind of "recipe" for eg. server configuration.
What I would like to achive is to reduce ammount of work in document entry. Instead of entering 30-50 position for each purchase requisition/order, I would like to use for this material BOM.
Is it possible?
If not, what other object can serve for preparing a list of materials to procure?
How the buttons "BOM Explosion" and "Components" can be turned on on standard purchase order/requisition?
Thanks in advance for help.
Best regards,
Wojciech

Hi,
To the best of my knowledge - BOM's are used in the context of value addition say - a manufacturing or processing involved in converting the inputs to the final prodcut.
While configurable items are used in a scenario where in a simple putting together / packaging in to a kit kind of activity is involved.In this scenario the final product is packaged to the requirements from picking the items of choice from the available prodcut list.
As it seemed the requirement as indicated in the question are in line with this concept I had suggested this solution of usage of Configurable materials.
I have not come accross a scenario of BOM and BOM explosion in Procurement excepet for Sub contracting.
How ever , I appreciate if any one can share information on BOM & Explosion in Purchase order.
Hope this information helps.
Thanks & regards

BOM EXPLOSION IN SUBCONTRACTING SCENERIO

Hi,
To all Experts,
This is regarding the bom explosion in subcontracting P.O(scenerio).Scenerio prob. is explained as follows -
1) I have an assembly which includes the semifinish & raw materials.
2) By cs11 it explpodes whole BOm
3) When i made P.O. for job work order(subcon.), in mateial data view it displys only the semifinish components(i.e. component or explode bom) ,but not the raw,which we want to send to vendor.
so due to above,how we can determine, what the material we are sending to vendor?
In short i want to explode the bom in po,in which it displys the semifinish as well as its raw.
So please suggest a propper solution for above query.
Hoping suggestion quickly
Thanks in advance
Manish

Hello Manish,
Could you please tell me how you have resolved this problem. I have the similar requirement.
"want to explode the bom in subcontracting po,in which it displys the semifinish as well as its raw."
we are exploring the PHANTOM ASSEMBLY but still no luck.
When i set at BOM item level - Phantom Assembly off indictor and Spec. Procurement 50
system is still requesting for transfer of Phantom Assembly instead of components to the vendor.
Thanks in advance

Changing BOM-items in Process Order not allowed

that Hello,
Mi client is asking me if it is posible, once created a Process Order, upon modifying the order (COR2), that the user can not change any of the cuantities and batches of the material list (BOM) updated in the Process Order.
Is there any way one can protect the material list from being modified once created, or once liberated the order?
Is it posible, moreover to just protect the BOM ítems updated in the Process order but let the option open to add exta BOM ítems manually.
Is there a userexit or a Badi one can use to acomplish this?
Thanks for any reply.
Aart

Hi Aart,
Yes, you can use BADI to protect the BOM items from not to change the BOM items in Process order.
In one of our project we have taken the help from the ABAPer, has has done the same thing.
Then we have acheived the same requirement.
You check with the ABAPer, he will help you for the requirement.
