Warrenties, items, BOM's

By using different service modules in a service organisation, I would like to know how to handle warrenty issues related to a MTL-System items sold through OE. Do we have to use BOM's with warrenty item flag and how do we continue if warrenty is different in time (first year gold, than silver and bronze)? who can give ideas or solutions to this...

Rene
Yes, you're right about having to create an item for a warranty, flag it in the item attributes as a warranty and then attach it in BOM to the physical item. When you define the warranty, you would also associate a duration to it (ie. you specify how long the warranty will be valid, which in your example would be 1 year).
The solution to your second question regarding the warranty being different in the 2nd year would be the following: create a non-physical item which will be the gold warranty, click the warranty flag in the service attributes and set the duration of the warranty as one year. Attach this warranty to the physical item in BOM. Create another item, which you do not flag in the service attributes as a warranty, but as a service program only. When the gold warranty finishes, you can then attach this service program, which has different coverage than the initial warranty, to the product.
Remember that a warranty in Oracle terms is free of charge for the customer, whereas the customer would have to pay for a service program. If the silver coverage which is applicable during the second year is free of charge, make sure that it has a 0 price associated with it (warranties do not appear on a price list, service coverages do)
I hope this helps.

Document structure, Document Hierarchy, Document line Item Bom

hi, All
I m confustion in the following,
1.Document structure,
2.Document Hierarchy,
3.In Material bom- DOCUMENT [CS01/2]
We can enter so many document in the above activities.
I m confusion with Document structure and Document in material Bom [CS01/2].
I linked documents in CS02 but Those will shows in DMS but Can't opens. I don't know what is the use creating link in CS02, even though this document not triggers Production order.
[For document structure needs Change number that i know.]
But actual use or application i dont know. Could Explain with Exmple.

hi,
niranjan,
I created a object link for Bom Item [STPO_DOC] and Bom header [STKO_DOC] using T-code CS01. This BOM item, BOM Header triggered in DMS. From DMS I am trying to display cs03, But system wonu2019t allow to display.
And secondly I am trying to link document from DMS to sap object- Material Bom [STOP]
But system wonu2019t allow.
How i can establish link materail bom and dms.

Configured Item BOM Structure..

Dear Techies,
I am facing a big issue for getting the bom structure for a configured item (configured thr the sales order form)..
when i use the hierarchial query in this case i get the correct result..
but my requirement is such that i hve to use the query below..
however it returns all the options in option class BOM..
However the ideal thing is that it shld only return the option selected.
That is i want only the related child items of the configured item (ie the ordered item in our case)
my query looks as below..
select a1.a1_item ordered_item, c1.c1_item,c1.c_desc1,c1_type, c2.c2_item,c2.c_desc2,c2.c2_type,c3.c3_item,c3.c_desc3,c3.c3_type

is there any field which can control this unrelated child items to the configured item 'XX'
Thanks in advance

shivjhan,
You can add sub-ATO to a parent ATO and if the supply type != Phantom, then you can generate indented ATO Item BOM.
However, the OC does not form a level.
So if your ATO model is
Computer ATO
- Hard Disk OC
      - 250GB
      - 320 GB
The * BOM looks like this
Computer ATO*12345
   -- Hard Disk OC
   -- 250GB
But you can do the following
Computer ATO
   - Hard Disk ATO
     - Hard Disk OC
         - 250GB
         - 320 GB
Now the * ATO will look like this
Computer ATO*12345
-- Hard Disk ATO*12346
   -- Hard Disk OC
   -- 250GB
Hope this helps,

Configured Item BOM

Hi guys,
When Creating Master Item-> BOM Attribute -> Configured Item /BOM
Can u plz let me know what's difference between following option
1.> Base on Item Sourcing.
2.> Routing and BOM are based of Sourcing ?
3.> Item Based of Model
4.> BOM Based of Model
How's its effect to Discrete Mfg / Repetitive Mfg ?
Thanks in Advance .....

Dear guru,
in the material master of the component the Base Unit Misure il PZ , but when we use the component in the bom (type position L) i need insert for the component the others UM.
Is possible use others UM in the item BOM for this component if before i upgrade the additional data the conversion UM?
Thanks a lot

- Material B (FERT)
I created a bom where :
Material B

Error in Rush Order type with BOM item!!

Hello,
I am facing a very strange error while creating a rush Order with BOM item.
System Error:
1. No item category available (Table T184 SO ERLA TAQ).
I except the error. I get next error as
2. Structure explosion for item 000010 is not possible.
After this BOM explodes with only first 2 Sub Items ( Item cat for main item is determind as TAQ and Sub Items as TAE) , where as the complete BOM has 7 Sub items.
I have made the required configs in item cat determination in T184 table for order type SO, as follows.
SO ERLA - TAQ for Main Item of the BOM
SO NORM TAQ TAE for the Sub Item of the BOM
The same item (BOM ) works very well in OR/BV kind of sales order types, by exploding the BOM to full level(i.e all the 7 sub items are determined).
Has any one come across such an issue. Please let me know what could be the solution?
Thanks in adv,
Shripad

Hi,
Thanks,
In vov7 for TAQ Item Cat. the structure scope is maintained as 'A'. And that's the reason for Standard order 'OR' , the BOM is exploding properly.
It is only with Rush Order , the BOM is not exploding correctly.

How to create SO by refer a QT with BOM items by BAPI

I want to create Sales order according to exist Quotations and I used the BAPI "BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2".
I tested for those normal case, no problem, but if in Quotation have some BOM material,
such as
in a QT 600000000
item        high item   materil   quantity
000010 000000     M1         2                    <--BOM header material
000020 000010     M2         2                    <--BOM son material
000030 000010     M3         2                    <--BOM son material
if a set the parameters of BAPI item and schedule line table like normal case
BAPI-ITEM table
item        high item   materil   quantity refer QT     refer item   refer category
000010 000000     M1         2            600000000 000010        B
000020 000010     M2         2            600000000 000020        B
000030 000010     M3         2            600000000 000030        B
if a set the parameters of BAPI item and schedule table like normal case
BAPI-schedule line table
item        schedule line    quantity
000010 0001                 2
000020 0001                 2
000030 0001                 2
after BAPI executed
Sales order will be
item        schedule line materil   quantity
000010   0001             M1         2
000020   0001             M2         2
000020   0002             M2         2
000030   0001             M3         2
000030   0002             M3         2
i checked the logic in BAPI
for the first item (BOM header item), system will automatically add its all son item to schedule line table due to BOM master
and for those automatically added items, they have no reference doc(Quotation), so the second and third Quotation items' status is still open, just the first item's status is completed in SD flow.
anyone know how to solve it?

Hi Ram,
Do you need to make changes in already existing rows or you need to create a new row for every line item?
I think when the first time your view is getting displayed the node which is bound to table uie is empty and hence the table is grayed. If you want input enabled rows then you need to bind few empty rows using the supply_function of the node.
data lt_tables type wd_this->elements_table.
data ls_table like line of lt_table.
append ls_table to lt_table.
append ls_table to lt_table.
node->bind_table( lt_table ).
Here table is the node which is bound to the table uie.
Now when the first time view is displayed you will have 2 rows ready for input.
To add more input enabled rows create a button and add empty lines in the action method assigned to button.
Thanks,
Abhishek

How to create a single sub-item SD BOM

Hi All,
I know how to create Sales BOM.
In both
Above Structure (ERLA) & Below Structure (LUMF)
Now i want to create sub item bom for a particular sub item. (eg. I have A,B & C sub items but i want to create order only sub item A)
[ let say-
i have a laptop in Above Structure (ERLA) & HD,Processor & other laptop component int below structure (LUMF) level.
Now i want to create Bom only HD .
when i will create bom only HD price will fetch in order,delivery & billing
How to do this process .
Please help me
Thanks In Advance
Santanu Giri

It looks some important info is missing.
- what is the BOM structure ? What level is the pricing / Delivery carried out? Iam sure it cant both i.e. pricing @ main item - sub item because you have mentioned ERLA & LUMF.
As you already aware-
Item cat group ERLA is only used in main item MMR, if the main item is relevant for pricing / delivery. & then sub item item cat group should be NORM.
similarly, if you want to delivery subitem & price is @ subitem level, then main item ,item cat group LUMF ,sub item item cat group NORM.
now explain your requirement in a better way as possible.
Thanks,

BOM item number - not repeat the item number

Hi Friend,
I wonder if you can block the registration of the same item with item number in the BOM,we have some problens with other software that comunication with SAP.
Thanks
Exemplo:
Item            Material
0001           ABCDEFG
0001           HIJLMNOP   (this is problem, because there are two itens with item bom = 0001)
Edited by: Marcelo Marcelo Alexandre Oliveira on Oct 18, 2010 8:00 PM

Hi,
You have to go for a user exit for this purpose.
remmeber in case item is being changed with chnage number(with history req), it might show multiple line items with same bom item( but it will be for same bom compoennet)
Also i guess for alternate and discontinuation bom componenets line item number remains the same.

WBS BOM

Dear Gurus ,
In normal change management situations (while having an open production order), when we make a change to main item BOM or internal phantom, we use a change number with release key which we reflect to production order using COCM.
In WBS BOM, the change is being done by creating a new WBS BOM for phantom (so that we make a modification without changing the original phantom). This change, however is not reflected correctly using COCM. It does not display any procurement elements.
I was only able to reflect the new BOM when i made Read PP master data in production order. Is there a way to affect it using COCM or a simliar method?

Keshav

Dear Gurus,

Changes made in BOM are not reflected in Configurator.

Hi all,
When i update minimum and maximum quantities in BOM, the new values are not reflected in the configurator.
I have found a patch (patch# 4410573) for this issue in metalink and applying that patch did not resolve the issue.
I have logged an SR with Oracle for this and Oracle support have asked me to run "Refresh Single Configuration Model" concurrent program and see if the changes are reflected.
This program has 2 parameters one for folder and the other for Configuration Model Id.
When i try to run the program, for any of the folders, the value set for the parameter Configuration Model Id does not show any values and hence i am unable to run the program.
We don't have a separate instance for COnfigurator.
Do i need to do any set up so that my Configuration model is reflected in the LOV?
Can anyone please help me on this?
Oracle Apps version: 11.5.10.2
Configuration software build: 11.5.10.25.43A
Regards,
Sreekanth

Hi Jason,
Please see my comments below
Jason said*
Support is correct. If you haven't run the Refresh a Single Configuration Model concurrent program for your model, then the new BOM attributes will not be visible in your model. Changes to items/BOMs are not directly reflected in the configuration model. You must "refresh" the model to see the changes.*
Even without running the "Refresh a Single Configuration Model" concurrent program, in some scenarios, changes are being reflected in Configurator.
Ex:
When i change only minimum and maximum quantities, the changes i.e. new minimum and maximum values are not reflected in Configurator.
But, when i also change any of the following fields along with minimum and maximum quantities, new values are being updated in Configurator with out running the refresh program.
effectivity_date, disable_date, component_quantity, planning_factor, component_yield_factor and optional class
Can you please explain this?
Also, i have already tried executing the query by commenting the enclosing_folder check. But still, the query is not retrieving any records.
Basically, the sub-query that fetches devl_project_id itself is not retrieving any records.
Jason said:+
Based on the SQL above, the only criteria for importing a model is that the item under the folder must be:+
a. A Model (PRJ = Project)+
b. The Model cannot be deleted (Deleted_flag must be '0')+
c. And the model must have been imported from Oracle apps, e.g. it cannot be a non-BOM model (orig_sys_ref is not null)+
Can you please tell how can i check whether model is imported into configurator or not and if it is imported from where is it imported?

Equipment BOM

Hi,all,
I m maintaining equipment BOM for spare parts planning ,where all item category has been mentioned as "L",now from maintenance order I want to generate Purchase Requisition by changing the item category as "N" after selecting the specfic item from that equipment BOM .But item category field of the maintenance order is coming greyed mode ?how can I change the item category from "L" to "N" to trigger PR??
Also is it possible to create Purchase Requisition from t-code ME51N with reference to an equiment for which I have maintained BOM .Is there any field to enter equipment no from where I can retrieve the spare parts list ?Please give ur valuable suggestion how to proceed.
thanks in advance.

rajib

Hi,
BOM item should be maintain with item category u2018Nu2019 or while assigning component to order instead of double clicking on item (BOM item) , Just copy the material (ctrl+c) and assign category :u2018Nu2019 and quantity manually.
In case of second issue: You cannot create a PR with reference to Equipment and there is no field in PR to assign Equipment. If you are having cost centers assigned to equipment in 1:1 ratio, you can assign cost center in account assignment of PR item.
Or else you can go for a standing order that is one standing order is to be assigned to each equipment and same can be used for account assignment for procurement.
In case of capitalization of expense you can go for asset as account assignment.
If you are not looking for account assignment and just want to retrieve the PRs connected to Equipment then you can think of tracking no field.

BOM and stock posting

Hi
Client has several assembly BOM's. They also also defined as Sales items (not inventory or Purchase items).
Whenever these items appear on an A/R invoice, you will also find that invoice no in the stock posting report with the exception of one BOM (CEDel). When this item (BOM) appears in an invoice, the invoice won't be on the stock posting list. There is no difference whatsoever in the various BOM's (assembly) and the item masters are also exactly similar. The problem started after the client updated the price for that item but we have been unable to find out if that had anything to do with it.
I have logged a support call with SAP but maybe someone else has had a similar problem?
Regards

Hi
The client is on 2007 PL 8.
The BOM's all contain child items which are stock items.
BOM 'BM40' contain the following:
CEYA - Cement - stock item
BAGPM - Bag empty premix - stock
PIYA - Pit Sand - Stock Item
BOM 'CEDel' contain:
CEYA - Cement - Stock Item
DELS - Delivery Charge - Sales Item
When I do a stock posting report for 'CEYA' (Cement), invoices containing BM40 appear in the stock posting list but invoices containing CEDel are missing from the stock posting list.
This problem only started from 1st June (unfortunately only discovered recently) after prices were updated.
Regards
