Validity Date of BOM code.

Hi,
I need to know the tables or the functionality which can help to find the validity date of a BOM code. I am a BW consultant and have tried tables like MAST, STAS, STPO but could not find the 'valid to date'.
Plz guide,
Regards,
Saurabh Diwakar

Dear Saurabh,
1.IF you are using ECM - Engineering Change number for BOM Creation/Change means then the valid to
Date can be tracked.
2.The default valid to date for any component in a BOM will be 31.12.9999.
3.Suppose using a Change number say for EG:500000000105,if you are deleting a Component in a BOM
means then the same details can be obtained from the table STAS.The valid to date will be the valid from
date of the Change number.
4.Also check this link - [Table STAS along with Change Number|Re: Latest BOM]

Validity Date at BOM componet

Dear all,
I'm strugling on changing the valid-to date for a BOM component.
Let me explain in detail what the scenario is and what I've done so far.
I have a BOM header "Z" with 5 different components, Y, X, W, V and U. Validity dates should be as follows:
- Y --> 02.04.2010 to 31.12.9999
- X --> 02.04.2010 to 31.12.9999
- W --> 02.04.2010 to 31.12.9999
- V --> 02.04.2010 to 20.02.2012
- U --> 21.02.2012 to 31.12.9999
I have created a change number with validity date 21.02.2012, but when trying to change BOM components validity dates fields will be grey and won't allow me to do the necessary changes.
Could you please guide me with the necessary steps that I need to follow or where my issue would be? - I have already been checking the forum and followed some of your tips(checked config and so on, and everything seems to be ok).
Thanks a lot in advance for your help on this one as it's quite urgent to solve this so we can test it, as we need to provide with some explamples on how material variances report will be affected to client ASAP.
Kind regards,
Mario

Hi Mariete ,
you just need to create a change number with the valid date you want for component , example if you create a change number valid from 01.01.2010 and if you use it for changing BOM , all the changes you made will have this validity date.
its not possible to input validity dates, so all the times it will be greyed out , you can control it as discribe above.
in you case you need to create 2 change numbers , 1 with valid from date in 02.04.2010 and use it for component Y X W and V
and others with validity date 21.02.2012 and use it for component U.
another thing please keep in mind if you BOM is created in todays date or date which is greater then 02.04.2010 will be a problem , so suggestion is while creating BOM , use a change number which is valid from 02.04.2010 and cause of it all 4 components will be automitacily hace valid date 02.04.2010.
and after creating this BOM with 4 component use a second change number and add component U.
please check i hope it wil help you.
Thanks

Change validity dates of BOM version

how can i change a validity date of a BOM? ( valid to )

Hi,
Production Version is the one method. In prod version w can give valid from date & to date.
So system will select the BOM accordingly.
Another option without using Prod version Check in OS32. Define alternative determination of BOM.
In this you can give valid to date for alternative BOM.
Ex: MAT alt 1 valid 10/07/08
MAT alt2 valid 30/12/08
For this selection you have to select BOM selection by - Date in MRP4 view of material master.
So system will select the BOM automatically according to valid date .

That is what I have done for a material.
Apart from making Routing again after deleting the BOM, do I need to take care of any other thing?

Please suggest me the T-code or any customization to change the same.

Dear Pawar
This are the basic IMG settings in order to used the engineering change management
features.
x refers to a tick.
First setup the control data in OS54.
Revision sections
Fields :-
Revision level active            x
Ext. revision level              x
Higher revision level            x
Object Management Record sections
Fields :-
Object maintenance               x
Assign alternative date          x
Overide value/assignment date sections
Fields :-
Only with leading change mst.    x
Setting the Revision level active is to activate the engineering change management for
material master. If you do not want the engineering change management for materials,
remove the tick.
With a tick in "Higher revision level", the new revision level has to be always higher
than the old revision.
Secondly, setup the external number range in OS53.
If you use the internal number range, then remove the external number range.
Third, define the status for the change master records in transaction SM30 - V_T419S.
Change No.     Chg        Date Chg     Dist. Lock      Description
Status         Poss
1             x            x             ' '         Active
2            ' '          ' '            ' '         Inactive
3            ' '          ' '             x          Locked
Fourth, define modification parameters for the BOM in OS27.
Fields :-
BOM Validty Maint.               x
EC Management Active             x
History Requirement             ' '
Unit Piece                      PC
The rest of the fields are blank.
If the History Requirement is tick, every time during creation of the BOM, SAP will
prompt your for an ECN number as is compulsory.
Lastly, define fields selection for routing in OP5A.
PP task lists: initial screen -> Change number -> Transaction code -> Tick Req.
Setting the Transaction code fields Required indicate that you have make the ECN number ........
Hope this will help you one of our friends gave me this

ALE BOM. Updates ALL! items with validity date & change no.

Hi All,
We are having problems where ALE-BOM sent with change in validity date (with change no) to a particular item. What happens is that ALE-BOM will instead update ALL! items with the same validity date and change number.
Next,when we process ALE again for the same BOM with a different validity date(with change no), then only that
particular item is updated with validity date and change no.
Would anyone know what could be the problem that when changes are sent for the first time all items are updated?

Neeth

Dear:
The error itself telling you the correction. You profit center which is assigned to your cost center has a validity date less than the one you are now assigning.You can check in KE52 against the profit center assigned to your cost center master data. However the best thing is to go to KS01 and create this cost center with desired validity date.
This will resolve your issue.

Unable to generate IDOCs in BD30 for BOMs because of Validity Date

Hello everyone,
I am having a unique issue with our Bills of Materials. After they are created and set to active, they have validity dates that go from 2001 to 9999. When I go to BD30 to distribute the BOM to the external systems I am getting the following error message:
No bill of material exists on 08/25/2009 for 2557B27H02/FBLR/1/01
Message no. BOM014
Diagnosis
You want to distribute BOM 2557B27H02/FBLR/1/01 via ALE. However, the BOM is invalid on 08/25/2009.
System Response
The system does not distribute the BOM.
Procedure
Check the BOM's validity.
If you want to distribute all BOMs with the change status for another key date, enter another valid-from date on the initial screen.
If you only want to distribute a certain BOM with the change status for another key date, enter another valid-from date or a change number on the selection screen.
We get this for any BOM in this system.
This is our QA environment and do not have this problem in our Development system. BD30 finds the BOM we specified but claims it is invalid on that date.
We are trying to figure out if there is another status or approval step that I am missing here.
SAP v4.7 level 19
Thanks and points awarded for helpful answers!

Hi
Enter a lower validity date like 8/25 2004 and try. If not check if there is any change management activated. Also check the ignore distribution lock. Please revert for further discussion

In Service contract, to change the valid form date on service code level.

Hi.
I want to change the price valid form date on service code level ( i.e. in condition) in Service contract.
I know i can do that with ME32 transaction but i have lot of Service contract with more then 10,000 line items
Is there any way that i can change in mass based on Service contract no. wise.???
Thanks in advance..

Please check in KON* series table in SE16N transaction. I guess KOHN table may help you out. You can see other similar tables.
In any one of the table you will find validity data.

BOM - Low Validity Date

Hi All..
what is the significance of activating BOM Low Validity Date (OS27) ..??
Is it required if SAP online activities are started as on date..??
While uploading BOM with LSMW, whether we have to maintain BOM validity dates (from n to) ..?
or system will take from date as data upload date and to date as 31.12.9999..??
looking forward to early reply,
LN

HI,
If you tick the Low Date then system will take the default date defined(which is 01/01/1900) whenever new BOM is created or edited.
It is nothing but the lowest processing date,if this field is not ticked then system will take todays date as the lowest procseeing date
I dont think you need to maintain them in the LSMW,you can maintain them as default vlaues
Hope this helps

BOM Validation date

Hi All,
In BOM creation, the validity of all the component are from current date to the max. of 31.12.9999 but I want to have
1. Specific Duration for Compenent of a BOM and
2. Specific Duration for that BOM
Can it be possible?
Sekhar

Dear Mr.Sekhar,
1.As far I know I dont think we can fix the Valid to Date for a BOM.
2.Even Using ECM you can not fix the Valid To Date for a BOM.
3.Using with or without ECM you can change the Valid From date of a BOM while
creation itself .
4.If you do so then the BOM will be valid only from the date which you entered
while creation.
5.ECM is used only to track the Changes that happened for BOM items along
with the date effectivity.BOM history can be obtained.

Valid To Date in BOM

hii
Can we change Valid To Date in BOM??By default it is 31.12.9999.i want to change it to 25.5.2007.
Thanks
varun

Hi Varun,
As per my observation, we cannot set valid to date for a BOM. When you delete the BOM then the deletion date will becomes valid to date, the same will apply to items within BOM.
Thw work around is you can create production version in MRP4 view and set the vaild from and valid to date for this version and assign this to part with BOM details. Now the BOM will be picked up as per the validity of the version.
You have to give BOM selection criteria is "selection by production version" in MRP4 view.

How to change Valid to date in BOM

Hi Sap experts
I have two questions:
1. How to change the valid to date in BOM for either header or component material.
2. If the answer of the above question is NO, then from where the system takes the value for valid to date in BOM. If its default, then where that default date is actually set in?
Thanks & Regards
Akhtar Shaikh

Dear Akhtar,
If ECM is not activated then deflaut systems takes Valid to-date as 31-12-9999
It is inbuilt in program designed by SAP
Valid from date will be the date which you are creating BOM
If ECM is activated then you can go with required dates ( with change numbers )

Valid to date for BOM Header and Item

Hello everyone,
I have been searching for "valid-to" date for BOM header and Items since several days but no luck ..
I know we can see it using transactions cs11/cs03 etc. But i wish to know the table where they are stored. As I need to extract them to BW.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Anuj
In table STPO,the field AEDAT gets updated only when a change number is used,otherwise the valid to date will be shown nil here.
