Variant Bom

Hi All,
             Please let me know about variant bom in pp. and how it will use full for pp with example.

Dear
In variant bom is nothing but the list of variants involved and with special features called Obj Dependencies
Suppose u take a ex of Car or desktop
here to manufacture car we required Tyres engine colour model of car these all nothing but variant these variants u assign as a configurable materials and we assign in one level or next level with item cat as N
so variant bom consists of list of variants with combination of configurable materials with class items and object dependencies
so its other way called super bom
Please follow the link to no u better understanding

  • Distributing Variant BOM (bills of material) with ALE

    Hi all,
    we need to distribute variant BOMs from one client to another in the same system. But in SAP standard it's not possible to distribute variant BOMs with ALE.
    Has anyone an idea, how we could manage it?
    Best regards!

    Have you tried message type : MATERIALBOM_CREATEBOMGROUP ,but i think you need to create custom program.

  • Routings for Variant BOMs

    Hi,
               I've created a variant BOM for material T-F. The variants are T-FX, T-FZ, etc. Now I need to create routings for the variant BOM. Could u guide me how to create routings for these variants, Whether I've to create individual routings for all these variants, or a single routing is enough?
          awaiting for ur replies.
    Thanks and Regards,
    R.Jeyaraman

    Hi,
         For variant configuration, you create routing in the normal procedure. But assign the object dependencies(Selection conditions) in the operation, operation sequences wherever it is needed to select a particular variant.
    You can also refer  for more details:

  • For Variant BOM & Variant configuration

    Dear All,
    Is there any tool to upload Variant BOM & Routing in standard SAP. Is it complete manual ?
    Regards
    Aniruddha

    1. Since youare using class item you will hvae one more characteristics called Plastic type in the Class
    2. You can maintian one variant table, in which you can maintain Plastic Type and specific Gravity
    3. Now using this you can try to infer the value and using a procedure you should be able to calculate the weight for the BOM item.
    Kindly let me know for feedback

  • How to remove the Variant BOM?

    Dear All,
    I am currently having the variant BOM. I need to create alternative BOM for all the BOM headers.
    I cannot create it till i remove the variant bom tag from the BOM headers.
    Kindly let me know the procedure to remove the Variant BOM tag from the BOM header materials.
    Thanks.
    Aditya.

    Hi,
    As you have already maintained alternative BOM for materials system will not allow you to create variant BOM as already alternative BOM is present for the same.
    So you need to delete all alternative BOM for required materials. Then you can create variant BOM for those materials.
    You can delete BOM's on mass basis also. Use CS28 for the same.
    Hope this will help you.

  • Multiple BOM and Variant BOM

    Hi Gurus
    Just a small question...
    Can we change the technical type of the BOM from V(Variant) to M(Multiple).
    As that field is always grayed out in editing mode (CS02).
    If we can change, how ??
    Thanks Vineet

    Dear Vineet,
    If a product has more than more than one alternative BOM(more than one BOM for the same BOM
    usage) for that products under the BOM header you will be able to see the technical type as M -
    Multiple BOM.
    You cannot change this.
    variant BOM
    Production Planning and Control (PP)
    A combination of a number of bills of material that lets you describe a product, or several products that have a lot of identical parts.
    The variant BOM describes each object completely, for example, the product "lamp." Each variant BOM contains all the components. This type of BOM is not configurable.
    Procedure
    The system allocates technical types:
    according to the number of alternative BOMs
    When you create the first alternative for a BOM, the technical type is not yet defined. If you extend the BOM by creating an alternative, the system automatically assigns the technical type multiple BOM.
    according to the transaction
    If you create a BOM using the Create variant of... function, the system assigns the technical type variant BOM. After this, you can no longer create alternatives for the BOM.

  • Difference in the Material variant  BOM Qty during Standard Cost estimation

    Hi SAP Experts,
    We are trying to estimate the cost for the material variant, but the BOM exploded
    during the cost estimation, the quantity differs slightly with the BOM exploded
    during CU50.
    What might be the reasons for difference.
    Please give your valuable Inputs.
    Thanks
    Best Regards
    Siva

    Dear Mr.Kumar,
    <b>For any material in the material master , for Price
    Control indicator in Accounting 1 View we can either
    maintain S or V.</b>
    <i>For In House Manufactured materials we maintain S
    (Standard price) & for Sub contracted or bought out
    items we maintain V(Moving Average price).</i>
    <b>During cost roll up & release as far I know we cant
    split like 70 & 30% and we can do the costing.</b>
    So either you have to use the moving average price for
    both inhouse & bought out.
    <b>Because 1 material cant have both standard price &
    Moving Average price.
    Because bought out item's doesnot have standard price.</b>
    If your vendor is ready to give the material(Finished
    product) using the same amount which you spend for
    producing inhouse,then no issue,you can use
    standard price.But Practically it doesn't occur.
    I hope this will help to clear your doubt.

    Hi,
    Have you created the Variants for the Configurable material.?
    If created then link them BOM Using Tcode CS40.
    IF not
    Create the variant product as FERT and classify this material in Basic Data view 2 and MRP3 View
    by Clicking Configure variant.
    Then Link the with BOM Usin Tcode CS40.
    And Check What Dependecy type you have maintained for BOM Component Selection.
    It should be '"SELECTION CONDITION"

  • Reg. Creation of Super BOM

    Hi all,
    Pls tell me how to create Super BOM.
    I am using ECC6.0
    My Requirement is i want supply a finished Product for Eg. Car which has many variants like Colour,Engine Type etc.,I have to create Variant BOM that is Super BOM for this Fin.Product Car.
    Here it is tedious for me to create all type of Variant materials in the material master.So By using Variant BOM my work will reduced by creating Finished Product car single item in the material master.
    But i am not fully clear about how to create this form the materail master to linking to the Super BOM.
    So pls. help me by sending me the Flow of this item from material master to Super BOM.
    Take the same Example.

    Hi,
    1 Create characterstics in CT04.
      EX: colour(red, blue, green), engine etc., with characterstics value.
    2 Create class in CL02 with class type 300. And assign all characterstics in class.
       EX: car
    3 Creat object dependecy in Cu01.
       Assign the condition type.. it should consists of charater = 'char.val'
    4 Create material master with variant material type or create normal finished material and            activate material is configurable in basic data 2. Assign classification view with the type of 300.
    5 Assign configurable profile in CU41. for variant material
    6 In BOM assign variant and non variant material then for variant material assign object depency.

  • 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.

  • T COde CS15 : Report is not showing the "Alternative BOM No" for some BOMs

    Hello Guru,
    I am facing a problem for the transaction CS15, when I use this transaction, in the output for some materials, system is not showing "Alternative number" of BOM.
    I cheked Deletion indicator, status of the BOM, validity period etc.
    But unable to get the reason why system is not showing alternative BOM number for the some materials / BOMs.
    Thanks to give your expert comments or solution.
    Thanks in advance
    Hemant

    Hi Hemant,
    please check in CS02 if those top level BOm's which dont show alternative BOm number in CS15, do they really have alternatives?
    the most probale reaosn why alternative is not shown is they dont have any alternate BOM or they are variant BOMs.
    please check.
