Template Bill of Material

Hi Experts,
In Sales Quotation,i choose Template BOM ,but item shows all are in same color so its difficult to identify Finished Product and raw materials. so can we show Finished product in red color and raw materials in paint color in Template BOM which is shown in similar Sales BOM.
Regards
Sudhir Pawar.

that would not be possible, in SQL you would probably be able to find a way to do this but that would take too much time and effort.
Why not rather just add a row udf next to the item code and a formatted search into that udf field that updates to specify it as a component or parent. Only problem here is where the parent is maybe a component of another BOM. But you could probably get that to work with exclusions in your where clause

Able to Remove Bill of Material when there is existing Production Order

Hi All,
Is this logical?
A bill of material (AAA) is created with a couple of components attached. Then production orders are raised against this Bill of Matierial (AAA). SAP B1 still allows user to delete the Bill of Material (AAA).
According to the usual standard in SAP B1, the master cannot be deleted when there is document attached to it.
How is this so?
My version is SAP B1 8.8 SP 0 PL21
Regards
Jessie

Hi Jessie,
Yes, it is very logical, since SAP treat BoM not as a master data in usual way master data as you know. Keep in mind that even in BoM table, OITT and ITT1, SAP use the item master data code as a BoM code. If your finished goods is AAA, then the Code field in OITT and Father in ITT1 also same with AAA.
Which means, it is the Item master data - Item code is the actual reference to Production Order. Try it by yourself, if you already assign AAA in Production Order, you can't delete it from Item master data. When you assign the item master data in production order as the finished goods, system actually only copy respective raw materials from BoM and copy it into the production order. Consider it as a template, not a transaction - master data relation.

How to create BOM(Bill Of Material) item data from flat file?

I have two flat files one is BOM(Bill Of Material) header data and BOM item data. BOM header is already created, now I want to create BOM item data with reference to the header data. Is there any standard direct batch input method in LSMW or Is there any standard BAPI or Is there any standard BDC report program to do the task? CS01 is the TCode to create BOM.

Hi,
The DI program works for create step CS01 and not for CS02.
Perhaps this ( adding items in header by Tx: CS02 ) could be achieved by a Recording step in LSMW.

How to Block Bill of material.

Dear Sirs,
Following is the scenario.
Some of our Bill of materials are Imported. These BOM are exclusively procured to manufacture certain Finished Products.
I would like to know how these BOM can be blocked or how i can block the issue of these BOM other than those fixed to manufacture Finished produces.
FOR EXAMPLE : FINISHED PRODUCT CODE   : FG1234
                            BILL OF MATERIAL              : RMXYZ
The above BOM is exclusively imported to manufacture FG1234. This BOM may be used to manufacture other Finished products also, but this should be allowed to Issue only for FG1234. How to configure or should we have to changes in maerial master.
Thanks in advance.

These BOM are exclusively procured to manufacture certain Finished Products.
If you use MTO, then it is possible.
The above BOM is exclusively imported to manufacture FG1234. This BOM may be used to manufacture other Finished products also, but this should be allowed to Issue only for FG1234. How to configure or should we have to changes in maerial master.
If you are using MTO Scenario, then you can achieve your requirement.
If you are using MTS Scenario, Then create a separate material code for each BOM, So that You can avoid using the other production order.

WEB ADI INTEGRATOR FOR Bill of Material

I am developing a WEB ADI integrator for Bill of material upload. The integrator will populate the data in a temporary table, validate it & write the error messages back to the table . On succesful validation the data will be sent to interface tables & then to base table.
The integrator uses a procedure & sends data to the procedure. Procedure then loads data in temporary table & does the rest of work.
To do this i need to know the following thinngs:
1. How i can track the line no of Excel?
2. How do I know that all data are loaded in temporaray table because the validation & rest of work will be done once all the rows of excel are transfered to temporaray table. i.e. How do i determine the End of File in Excel?
3. How do i write error messages from the table to the excel in web adi?
Any help will be appreciated. Please send me the sample scripts & web adi developer guide at [email protected],[email protected]

If you check the XML that Web ADI generates to upload a document you will note that each row gets a row number. It would be a matter of being able to keep track of that number in your table so that when you are reporting the error back you can include that number in the message so the code in the Excel spreadsheet can assign it to the correct row.
I would suggest trying to use even some of the basic validation mechanisms provided within Web ADI, as these will automatically return the error messages for bad data to the correct row in the spreadsheet.
Web ADI will take the uploaded data, perform any validation check defined within meta-data then push the data to your Interface table. There are plenty of examples in th shipped code of product teams then using the Import phase of the upload to perform additional checks and then push the data further. But if you can utilize the existing Web ADI functionality. The data never ends up in the table in the first place to require any clean up on your part.

Error while deleting Bill of Material

Dear Expert,
when i am deleting complete Bill of Material for a plant, i am getting error as Engineering change mgmt called with data that could not be interpreted
Message no. CC092 or some times Message CC 061with diffent message
Diagnosis
You have chosen an engineering change management function.
As the function module was called with an incorrectly configured interface, the data could not be interpreted.
if i ignore this error message & save it then it will delete whole BOM. But i unable to understand why this error getting. recently we have implemented EHP-3 also for FI Module & also implement SAP Note:1278790 to resolve for BOM creation error.

Sub items of bill of material is not copying in sales returns

Dear All,
Regarding sales returns with referance to invoice consist bill of material sub items are not
copying in to sales returns order because invoice is not consist sub items of bill of material those which are relevent
for delivery but relevent for billing and pricing
For this issue make subitems of bill of material to be copied in to billing without pricing to solve the issue.
If not can create the sales returns order with referance to sales order consist bill of materials to copy sub items along
with the main item.
but client wants to create the sales returns with referance to invoice irrespective of the bill of materials
we need to customize the zprogramme to get sales order No. if invoice consist bill of material to copy sub items from sales order to sales retuns order.
With out z programme can we copy the sub items of bill of materials from invoice to sales retuns order.
But invoice consist only main item of bill of bill of material relevent for pring not relevent for delivery.
sub items are relevent for delivery but no relevent for billing and pricing.
Please provide the solution.

Hi,
Main item relevant for billing not for delivery
sub items relevant for delivery not for billing
Here you can flow sub items in to invoice but do not add item value to invoice net value
You can control this through statistical indicator in item category detail VOV7
Under business data tab Statistical value maintain X or Y
Then even if sub item have price then at invoice time it will statistical (just at item level) system will not add it in net value of invoice.

Explode Bill of Material on Purchase Order

When we create a standard NB purchase order, we would like to explode a bill of material for the 1 finished goods material and create MRP requirements for the warranty materials on the BOM. Basically, we want a requirement there so we can create a PO for these warranty materials. We have looked at subcontracting, but we are not wanting to supply these materials to a subcontractor we just want to purchase them from a vendor and bring them into our inventory.
We realize that we can explode the BOM if we start with a planned order. However on alot of occasions we skip over the planned orders and purchase requisitions and manually create the PO.
Does anyone know of a process to explode the BOM from the PO? or maybe a user exit on the PO that would allow us to do this.
We are currently on version SAP 4.6C.
Thanks,
Mark

Hi James,
As you rightly mentioned, the purpose of a BOM is to contain a list of materials. To create
a sales BOM. use T.code CS01.
Here you give the usage as 5 - indicates sales and distribution as there can be production boms also with a different usage.
After you enter inside give the components that make up your main material, say music system containing
Itemcat          material               Qty
l               2 mt wires                2
l               speaker                   2
so on, then save it.
For each of these you should have a material master created. For the main item ie., music system select the item category group as " ERLA " for header level pricing and
" LUMF " for item level pricing.
Maintain item category determinations in VOV4 as
<b>For item category group ERLA</b>
OR + ERLA                         -
> TAQ ( Header level pricing )
OR + Norm +     + TAQ (higher level item cat ) -
> TAE
<b>For item category group LUMF</b>
OR + LUMF                         -
> TAP ( Item level pricing )
OR + Norm +     + TAP (higher level item cat ) -
> TAN
This will setup the scenario you wanted. Now when enter music system in sales order with " 1 " quantity it will explode as
2 wires
2 speaker
as was the component quantity mentioned in CS01.
Hope it helps. Please reward if useful.
Thanks & Regards

How to get currently logged in user on 'Bill of Material' Form in Add-Mode

Dear All,
                I am using a UDF on 'Bill of Material' Form in SAP. This UDF is named as Current_User. I want in this UDF the user name that is currently logged in to SAP. I am able to get user name at form load event. But when 'Bill of Material' Form comes in ADD Mode, the user name doesn't display. What can I do for this problem.? Here is my code:

            BubbleEvent = true;
            try

Hi,
You need not to write any sdk code for this task. You just create a user query as mentioned above and save it with some name.
Then Open the Bill Of Material Screen, just click in the required field, then click alt + shift + f2 to assign a Formatted Serach.
Then Select 3 rd Option       "Search in Existing User-Defined Values According to Saved Query"
Then Click on the button "Open Saved Query"
It will open the Query Manager. Select the Saved Query.
Enable the Option "Auto Refresh When Field Changes"
In the Drop Down list, select the Value "Parent Item"
Then Select the Option Refresh Regularly or Display Saved Values.
This will automatically put the user code if the parent item is selected.
You an achieve this by without SDK Code.
PS:
There is a change in the Above Query:
Select USER_CODE from ousr where userid = $[USER]

System did not find a valid bill of material

Hi All,
I have a requirement in which the client needs to supress the standard SAP message(information) which appears at the time of creation/change of sales order.
Message :The system did not find valid bill of material.
I am working on user exit : MV45AFZZ--> USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_VBAP.
Could you please help me with any structure/table where we can pass any parameter field in order to supress this message?
Thanks
Kishan

XVBAP for detail table
vbap for header table.
also,you need to use user
exit MV45AFZB USEREXIT_SOURCE_DETERMIN

Hide all the components in bill of material for all the transaction

Hi experts
I have requirement where my client does not want to share the bill of material details across the organisation. Hence they would not like to see bill of materials components details for particular set of materials.
Also, when any material documents or any other related transctions are posted in those production order, they want that only authorized user should view those components of BOM.
Please help me in this regards
Let me know if my question is unclear.
Thanks

yes.. particular set means a group of materials but they do not have a common material group assigned to them in the material master.
And as you mention, i need to do something in the mentioned transaction. How to do that..
because there should not be any loop holes for any users to get the information to identify BOM.

More than 3 decimal in Bill of Material component quantity

I want to know whether we can use more than 3 decimals in quantities in Bill of Material. I heard that it was an issue in SAP but is that issue still exist in ECC 6.0.
Regards

Dear,
During maintaing the unit of measure in T-code CUNI we can define No. of decimal places to which rounding should be performed which specifies the number of decimal places to which this measurement unit should be rounded.
System will not allow more than 3 decimal places in satandard SAP.
You can use a larger base quantity of 100 or 1000 in the BOM header (instead of 1).
That would eliviate your issue with the 3 decimal places in the component quantity.
SAP always takes the base quantity into account during requirements calculation.
Hope clear to you.
Please refer this link,

Production - Multiple Bills of Material for a FG Product

Hi,
In SAP B1 - It is not possible to create multiple Bills of Materials for a FG product.
Is there any workaround to address this issue?
At our location we have multiple alternative combinations of components which can be used to create the same FG product.
One alternative is to create Special Production Orders (but with no BOM). Is there a better option?
Regards
Manish
Edited by: Manish Chaturvedi on Apr 1, 2009 12:51 PM

HI Manish,
Your Bill of material is dynamic so just try to solve this by alternative items(Raw Material). i hope it will work.
But in SAP B1 standard there is no work arround. you have to change the BIll of material every time. or make one udf in the title level with the name version 1,2,3 ..... and save it in the system. and pick the BOM which you will needed at the time of Production.
I hope it will solve your question.
