Selection of BOM During MRP

Dear All,
I have three alternatives of BOM.The lot size and the validity period for all the boms is same.Now during MRP Run the system only selects the first alternative and plans the depending materials of that BOM.
I want to set the system in such a way that i can able to select any alternative of bom and carry out the MRP Run.
Please help me ..
Regards
Prashant

Hi Prashant,
With same valid From & To Date and Same Lot Size,
In this case system will select first BOM alternative.
If you want to choose a particular BOM then go for production version ,assuming that u r not willing to change the lot size or valid from & to date,then u lock the production versions which you dont want to show to the system before running MRP except the one which u r willing to choose.
We cant choose manually the prod.version during MRP.
Assuming that in MRP4 view of FERT material u have given option 2 in BOM slection method.
The other way is u manitain different lot size and acccordingly the production version will be selected by the system.
I hope it will help you.

I would like to understand if we can select a BOM by Vendor

Hi all
I have the following query:
In our subcontracting process we are often producing similar codes on two different vendor locations.
So would like to understand that if we can select a BOM by Vendor
u201CCan't select different BOMs in R/3 for different vendors producing same codeu201D?
thanks and regards

Hi all,
This would probably work but in my client we do not use production versions. This is not for the standard subcontracting process. This would mean that we would have to implement a completely new process involving Product costing as I am not sure if production versions created for subcontracting products would have any impact on them.
could you please tell me if there is no other option to get this to work without using production versions?
I have put a quick example to explain the problem in more detail...
For Finished product 9791070 I have created a BOM with two alternatives:
1 & 2
Each alternative is using a different component...
When creating the Subcontracting PO the system automatically picks the component from alternative BOM 1
Please let me know if there is any other option within the PO creation process or within the PIR to use alternative BOMu2019s without the requirement to create production versions.
thanks in advance

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.
Regards,
Vivek

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

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

Selection of BOM and Routing in Cost estimate

Hi
I have an issue with the cost estimate run. We are using CK40n for cost estimate.
The selection method in MRP 4 is defined as 3 (only by prod version) and the version indicator is maintained in the costing views also.
When we run the cost estimate the system is chosing a different BOM and routing other than the ones defined in the prod version.
Following are the details of the prod version defined.
0010 Prod version
Lot 0 to 99999
BOM Alt 1 usage 1
Routing Grp 1234 counter 1
0020 Prod version has
Lot 0 to 99999
BOM Alt 2 usage 1
Routing Grp 1234 counter 2
0030 Prod version has
Lot 0 to 99999
BOM Alt 3 usage 1
Routing Grp 1234 counter 3
Ideally system should choose the first prod version.(alt 1 and usage 1 and Routing 1234 grp coutner1). This is not happening.
System for some reason is choosing the BOM with Alt 1 and usage 1 defined in 0010 prod version but the routing from a different prod version 0020 grp 1234 counter 2.
I have checked with all the relevant settings but i am not able to understand why this is happening.
This is not the same when i create a prod order. System chooses the first prod version when i create the order.
I have checked the priorities defined in the customising, and also the details in the costing varaint using CKC1.
What settings do i need to check to ensure that it works fine? Can you please let me know.

Vithal,
While doing the costing run, SAP checks if you have maintained the "Production version to be costed" [MARC-FVIDK] field in Costing View. It will use this Prodn Version for cost estimate.
If you have not maintained the prodn version field, then it will use the values maintained in the "Quantity structure data" section on costing view. i.e. it will use the BOM alternative..and recipe information from here.
If you have not maintained above values then system picks up the first BOM alternative (MAST table) and first recipe information (MAPL table) it finds for the material-plant combination.
Might be this is what is causing the problem for you. Also according to my knowledge SAP cannot decide the Lot Size for Prodn Version while doing the costing run. You need to tell the system what data to be used for costing.
Try and revert back.

Problem in material selection in bom

Hi,
we have finish material A,semi finish B, raw material C1,C2,C3.
we have created material BOM for semi finish B.
material      usage      alternative BOM          component.
B                  1                    1                             C1, C2.
B                  1                    2                                C3.
I created bom for finish material A using semi finish B mentioning alternative bom 2. it is not picking the component which is there in alternative BOM 2 i.e. C3.
in cs11, it is showing only C1, C2.
Can you solve this. it's very urgent.
thanks/regards
vish

Dear Vishwanath,
For Product B ,while checking in CS11,in the input parameters,after entering the material ,plant , enter alternative BOM value as 02
and then application - PP01 and check the output that you are getting.You can see C3 been displayed.
For Product B maintain 2 production version's with different Lot size say production version 1 with BOM alternative 1 with C1 & C2 for
Lot size range 1 to 100. and let the production version 2 be with BOM alternative 2 with C3 for lot size range 101 to 500.and the BOM
Selection method in MRP4 view should be 2 for product B,now create a planned order for B for LA type first for a quantity of 10 and
then for a quantity of 200,check which BOM the system is picking.
Doing the configuration settings in OPPQ - at plant level for BOM selection ID and routing selection id affectes all the materials.
So check with the solution which I have given and revert back in case of any more help.

Selection of BOM with Production version

Hello friends,
I have Finish product say A with two alt. BOM and Production Version 1 & 2
i have semi-finish product say B with two alt. BOM 1 and 2 in the BOM of the Product A
Now when i create PIR in MD61 for product A with production version 2 selection,how the system will select the component B
with alternative BOM 2
please suggest

Hi Mangesh,
The production version is selected based on the setting you are maitaining in MRP-4 view for Dependent Requirement Selection Method. The selection will be based on the Validity dates, Quantity i.e. based on the Lot sizes, and based on the production versions.
If both the versions are having same date,lot size etc, then the system will select the first version by default.
IF you do not want any version not to be selected then you can lock that version in MRP-4 view or in C223.
Thanks and regards
Muru

General task list: component selection from BOM - possible in batch input?

Hi experts,
for the assignment of non-stock material to general task lists I have followed the advice from message[6115684|Re: General Task List Components;.
So what I have done is:
- Include non-stock material in BOM
- Assign BOM to general task list header
When clicking on the "Component selection" button in the task list components, I can select a component.
When entering the material number of the component directly though, I get an error: "Material type X and line item type L not compatible" (CO135).
I would like to upload the general task lists with a batch input recording, but I can't figure out how to select components.
Any thoughts?
Kind regards,
Andreas

Hello,
We have the same requirement to load tasklists (change & create). We are using the function modules EAM_TASKLIST_CREATE and EAM_TASKLIST_CHANGE. However, i cannot get a non-stock BOM item to process. Has anyone got this working?
Thanks,
Clay.
EDIT: Found the answer - simply fill in the fields for BOM on the component (STLTY, STLNR, STLKN, and STLAL).

How to select another BOM in Planned Order Based Production Order

Dear PP GURUS / EXPERTS,
I am using following Scenario: I have alternate BOM for FG and Maintaining Finished Material with Production Version in MRP4.
Now, When I run the Forecast based Planning (MP30) and go for Single Item Multi-Level MRP Run (MD02 & MD04) it takes 1st Alternate BOM.
Now, I create the Planned Order Based Production Order (CO40), but due to some reason - WE WANT TO CHANGE THE BOM. instead of 1st BOM We want to use another BOM For Production.
How can we achieve this.
Please Help. THANKS IN ADVANCE.
DSC

WE WANT TO CHANGE THE BOM. instead of 1st BOM We want to use another BOM For Production
create two production version ( PV)and assign the 1PV 1st BOm and 2 PV 2nd BOM
System will create a Plan order for PV 1
IF you want you can change the Production version 1 to Production version 2 in Planned order itself ( in MD11)
Or reread the master data for production order by selecting PV 2

How to find out Subcon PO select which BOM

Dear ALL,
My question is how to find subcon PO select which alternative BoM, item details seems at material detail components tab but which atlernative BoM ?
Regards,

Dear,
Check in table ENT5177 table for changes.
In table MAST, STPO and STKO you can check how many alternatives you have.
(I am not sure, system not available to check).

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 .

pradeep.

Selection a BOM in REM

I have created an alternative BOM, and I would like to know if its possible to select automatically a BOM after cheeking the availability of same components.
I need a bom selection pop up.
What is the best way to do this?
And when i have to select the alternative bom.
Thanks

Dear Omar,
Create 2 Production versions with a combination of say for Eg: Prod.Version 1 - Alternative BOM 1 & Rate Routing,
Prod.Version 2 - Alternative BOM 2 & Rate Routing.A different Lot size can be used for this 2 production version,or if you want to
maintain the same Lot size for this 2 Production versions then the selection of the required production version can be made by locking
one of the Production version,so that the other can be selected.
I hope this help to solve your issue,if still problem exists,revert back to Forums.

Query related to selection of BOM (Production BOM or Sales Order BOM)

Hello All
Am having a scenario wherein the FG is having 5 components out of these 5, two are subassembly and 3 are raw materials, 3 of these components are customer specific i.e. 1 suby assly and 2 raw materials are customer order specific, now what i wanna know is that how shall i decide the BOM, will it be a Sales Order BOM or normal Production BOM. If i go for a Sales Order BOM, can any body tell me the processing of Sales order BOM. For the above FG the packing materials are also cutomer specific and that too is included in BOM. Any help in this regard shall be highly appreciated.
Regards,
J K Tharwani

Thanks for your reply.
I would like to know am using strategy 52 for this FG, so that i can have option to procure order specific components after sales order arrival, and components which are not specific to the order can be procured before sales order arrival. Where am confused is if am planning with FG1 i.e. am entering PIR for FG1 and am procuring order independent components before sales order arrival and suppose if the sales order arrives for FG2 for which components i have procured before sales order arrival is same but the remaining components which are order specific are different from that of FG1, then how the MRP shall behave. How the requirement for the FG2 shall be met. Kindly throw some light on this scenario.
Expecting a positive and prompt response.
Regards,
J K Tharwani
