Use ot alternate BOM

Hi
We have alternate BOM of a GF material, How can i use boththe BOMS in MRP run, and If we run MRP 2 time for the same material Ist time i use BOM no 1 and in IInd run change the BOM and run the MRP what will be the impact on my PR`s
Thanks

Dear Sir,
Other way of doing is that make one production version active and then run MRP and then the other.Go to C223 and make inactive or make it inactive through MRP-4.Avinash Sir, please be free to call

Use of Alternate BOM in Plant Maintenance

Hi All,
Please let me know the use of Alternate BOM in SAP PM.
Sundar

From SAP Help.
The BOM structure is reflected in the different technical categories of BOM provided in the PM system:
Simple BOM
The first BOM that you create for a technical object or material has no defined technical category and a simple structure. It is described as a "simple BOM".
Variant BOM
Variant BOMs have a more complex structure. They are used to group together several BOMs to describe different objects that have a high proportion of identical parts.
Multiple BOM
Multiple BOMs have the most complex structure. They are used to group together several BOMs to describe one object, for which different combinations of materials are used for different production methods. Multiple BOMs are usually used in production planning and have little or no use for plant maintenance.
Note: There is no concept of Alternative BoM for PM.

Scheduling Agreement Alternate BOM usage

Hi all,
For a FG material , i have 2 BOMs available for that.
I make a scheduling agreement for Subcontracting process while maintaining schedules ME38 , automatically system is picking the first BOM present for that material , but i want to use the alternate BOM to be picked for that particular vendor or for that Scheduling agreement. So should I maintain any thing else for that agreement .
With Rgds,

Hi,
Maintain two production versions, one for each BOM you have, Assign the default production version to the subcontracting info record
When you create subcon PO, the default production version is used. If you want to change it, go in the item level "Material Data" Tab,
click "Re-explode" and choose the production version you want

Issue in Exploding Alternate BOM while creating Planned Order to PR

Hiii All,,
I have maintained a two BOM's for a finished material one for In House production and one for Sub contracting the components for the Two BOM's are different.
i have maintained Two Versions for the finished material also.
when i covnvert a planned Order to an Sub Contracting Purchase Requisition alternate BOM doesnt explode. i have also maintained a production version in the Purchase info record. Still the main BOM explodes.
i have to manually change the planned order and give the other production version ie not the Inhouse BOM.
After creating the PR then again i have to go planned order and change to the normal InHouse BOM.
Please Provide me the solution.
Thanx & Regards,
Kumar Rayudu

Hi
In order to explode your alt BOM in your PR do the following.
1. Maintian alt BOM
2.Maintain a Version using this alt BOM only. Do not select any routing /rcp group.
3.Give this Version name in your Inforecord (ME11).
4.Set the "MRP" field as "Record Relevant to MRP " in your Source List for the material.
5.In the material master, select the procurement type (MRP2) as " X " ( ie, both proc types).
I am sure it will work for you

Alternate Bom for a finished product has huge varience in cost estimate

Hi all
I have created alternate BOMs for a finished material. One is local raw materials and another has imported raw materials. Goods are produced using both these boms but in one period i can release cost estimate of one BOM. Thats why there is a huge variance in cost estimate when alternate BOM is used for the material. kindly give me a solution as to how i can fix this issue.

       What are all the configuration set-up is required to automatically and manually select the Alternative BOM while creating a Planned and Production Order ?
   What are all the configuration set-up is required to automatically and manually select the Alternative Routing while creating a Planned and Production Order ?
Please provide me an understanding on above questions will be grateful.
Thanks in Advance

Dear Madhan Shah,
If you are new to the FORUM kinly read the rules first, so that in future you wil avoid posting mulitple questions in same thread.
What is Alternate BOM ?
If you have more than one BOM for same material then each BOM is created as alternate BOM
EX - The BOM for producing sample will not be same as BULK so based on lot size you will have this.
What is Alternate Routing ?
If you have more than one ROUTING for same material then each ROUTING is created as alternate ROUTING
EX - The ROUTING for producing samplING will not be same as BULK so based on lot size you will have this.
How do I create Alternate BOM ? Please give me a step by step procedure
First create a BOM in the CS01 and save it.
Again create a BOM for the same material, the system will give you a message telling Alternate bom created.
You can see the alternate bom number.
How do I create Alternate Routing ? Please give me a step by step procedure
First Create a Group and Group counter 1
Add the second routing as Group counter 2
You can define the Alternate routing / group counters based on the lot size or validity
What are all the configuration set-up is required to automatically and manually select the Alternative BOM while creating a Planned and Production Order ?
What are all the configuration set-up is required to automatically and manually select the Alternative Routing while creating a Planned and Production Order ?
For above 2 questions
NO configuration is requried
Creat PRoduction version in C223
Here you define in each production version which is the BOM and routing it has to use.
Each production version you can define it with a lot size or valdiity period.
IN the MRP4 against the selection method you can define how the production version has to be selected.
Kindly let me know your feedback , if answered kindly close the thread.

Alternate BOM in Sales BOm Costing

Hi,
When we create sales order with alternate sales BOM we face a problem.I am using Alternate BOM 5 in sales order .But Costing is happening for Alternate BOM 1.By default Costing is taking Alternate BOM1 irrespective of alternate BOM i am using in sales order.
At the time of sales BOM costing system should take alternate BOM5 .how to do this?
Regards,
Guru

You can use Mixed Costing for this. Maintain Procurement alternative by CK91 & Mixing Ratio CK94 for the version you want to cost

Alternate bom items

Hi, created a bom with 2 roh materials as bom items. For the first line item, alt item group 01 maintained as 1 (priority),2 (strategy-100% check), 100 (usage probability) and for the second line item maintained the same settings. Now wants system to pick the roh material, which is having more stock (more qty). when I create production order, system is selecting only the first line item. Pls advise how to rectify the same.

Hi,
The setting of the priority of an item within an alternative item group determines the sequence in which material components are reserved in the production order.
Strategy is to determine how the items within an alternative item group are selected for the withdrawal posting. Use the same strategy for all alternative items in an alternative item group.
Your requirement of withdrawal posting for ROH which has highest stock is not possible in standard system.
But
Strategies for withdrawal postings are supported with:
1) Withdrawal according to usage probability (manual changes possible) or
2) Withdrawal if availability is 100%
So in your case if 1st item is available 100% then the system considers only 1st
If it is not available then only it searches for 2nd item 100% availability
Hope you have understood the system logic

Production order for alternate BOM and Routing

Hi All,
In my business(Discrete) scenario I have alternate bom and routing has group counters. some times i should use first BOM and First group counter. Then next Bom and next group counter. But lotsize is same( prodcution version how to assign).
When creating production order i should select which ever i need.
Regards,
S.Suresh.

Hi,
For your requirement you can define your Order Type Dependent parameters OPL8 as:
Production Version : 1 Manual Selection of production Version.
In this case every time when you creat your Production order System will ask for the Production version to be selected. You need to select the PV manually then only you can proceed further.
This setting is applicable only when the Production Order is Created.
It will not effect the Planned Oredr creation via. MRP Run..
Hope this helps..

Alternate BOM in Sales order?

HI Dears,
I am in a Pharma Company and i have one product with same raw material but in a diff. pack means i have a material said A with raw material AA & Packing Material BB and second one said A with raw material AA & Packing Material GG. {The product is same but in different pack (For Exam. : Paracetamol Tablet in 10x10 pack and 1000's pack)}
By useing Alternate BOM i creat the both products. But When i creat sales order (VA01) their are no any indication for alternate BOM (BOM version).
Please solve my problem as soon as .
Thanks
Sameer Kumar Pradhan

Hi,
You cannot create alternate BOMs if your working with Order BOM in MTO scenario.
If you have created alternate BOMs in MTO scenario and wants to select this automatically from MRP then define prod version or selection criteria of BOMs in MRP4 view in Material master and please remember that 'Dont create any Order BOM from CS61".
If there is no order BOM created then MRP (MD50) selects the available Material BOMs. If order BOM is created then this only will be exploded from MRP.

While Create PO alternate BOM Issue

HI All,
While Create PO Iam not able to find alternate BOM which have mainained 1 2 3 BOMs.
System is showing only 1 Deafule BOM Could please let me know how fix this issue.
Alt BOM is Universal -usage and alternate 1 2 and 3.
BR,
Nagaraj K

Hi Nagraj,
If several alternative BOMs exist, there is no possibility
of selecting the desired BOM interactively. Instead,
selection can be controlled via the following mechanisms:
- SELECTION BY QUANTITY:
A lot size interval for which the BOM is valid can be
entered in the BOM header.
A prerequisite is that the Selection method indicator is
not set in the material master record (MRP 4 view).
- SELECTION BY DATE:
Can be set in the IMG under Production -> Basic Data ->
Bill of Material -> Alternative Determination -> Define
Alternative Determination for Multiple BOMs (transaction
OS32). A prerequisite is that the Selection method
indicator the is set to 1 in the material master record
(MRP 4 view).
- SELECTION BY PRODUCTION VERSION:
Can be used if the same material has different BOMs with
different suppliers.
You create different production versions in the material
master record of the assembly (pushbutton in MRP 4 view)
and assign an alternative BOM to the versions on the
detail screen. You then enter the valid production
version in the info record in each case.
If NO selection mechanism has been defined and several
alternatives exist, the FIRST one found is pulled.

How to Switching Alternate BOM to Primary BOM

Dear All
Need help...
I have already try to switch from alternate BOM to primary BOM. but why it can not effect anything? any step that i mis?
my step is :
1. Navigate to the Substitute Components window. choosing the Substitutes button from the Bills of Material window.
2. Enter a substitute item for the component.
3. Enter the quantity of the substitute item needed to replace the full component quantity.
its correct ??
Best Regards,
The pooh

MRP plans according to primary bom. If you run ASCP constrained plan, you can set the plan options such that it will look at alternates as well.
If you run MRP or unconstrained bom, you will have to change the primary bom itself (via ECO or BOM changes).
You can also consider using the alt. bom when creating the work order manually.

Alternate BOM

Dear Friends,
I am creating alternate Bill of material for FERT, but system is throwing following error.
BOM CAN ONLY BE EXTENDED VIA MASTER RECIPE
Please guide me how to crate the alternate BOM for the same.
Regards,
AMit Shirsath.

Hi
If this message is only warning then just go ahead and change the BOM. If this is a warning then change the BOM from receipe but it is not possible to create an alternate bom.
The creation of alternate BOM is not possible because the existing BOM is already used in the calculation. Let me know why you want to create alternate BOM? If possible i may suggest other way round solution

MRP Plan - Alternate BOM vs Substitute Component

We have certain situations where ITEM B (length 5 in) can be used in place of ITEM A (length 3 in) in which just the amount cut off differs. To be recognized in MRP planning and work order creation, should an alternate BOM be used or a substitute component?
Is there a general rule of thumb that indicates when to use which feature?

Dear PP watson,
1.While giving the PIR's in MD61,after entering the values click on the schdule line tab page and then in
the top menu click on settings--->prod.version,now against the PIR enter the prod.version whould be
considered.
So this will be considered during MRP run.
2.IF 2 prod.versions exists for the same lot size and validity dates then the system always picksup the
first prod.version during MRP run.
3.IF you want the system to consider the second prod.version,then lock the first prod.version before
taking MRP run.
4.If quota is maintained in MEQ1,then as per this you will get the output in MRP.
Points 2,3,4 is generally used if PIR's are assigned without any prod.version.
Come back with your queries.

Alternate bom explosion

Dear Gurus
When giving a work order to a subcontracting item the BOM of the item is exploding but the system is choosing only first BOM is there any way so that the alternate bom can be exploded.
Regards
Sandip Sarkar

Hi,
As per SAP standard, always the first priority is for alternative 1. If you want to select the alternative 2 or 3, you can change the status of alternate 1 & 2 as Inactive. Then the system will pick alternate 3.
Otherwise you can define the lot size, like lot size 1to 10 alternate 1, 11 to 25 alternate 2 like this, or you can define the valid from and valid to for each alternatives. Otherwise you can use the production versions.

V. Suresh
