Super BOM 2008-09-01 09:49:35 Use The bill of material (BOM) of a configurable material contains all the components that are required to manufacture the material. The BOM contains components that are only used in specific variants (variant parts), as well as components that are used in all variants (non-variable parts).This is why BOMs for configurable materials are known as super BOMs. Features When you maintain BOMs f Read more:Super
Selecting BOM Items 2008-09-01 09:48:10 Use There are three ways of selecting variant parts in the BOM of a configurable material:You enter the variant part as a BOM item and assign selection conditions to it You classify the variant part in a class and enter the class as a class item in the BOM. You use the classification data of a material or document as a selection condition. A bike has different rear lights: § Dtoplight Read more:Items
Classification as a Selection Condition 2008-09-01 09:47:44 Use You can classify the materials or documents that you enter as components in a BOM in the Classification
System. The bolts that are selected for different variants can be classified in class BOLTS and entered as BOM items. You can use the classification data in variant configuration as a selection condition. In BOM maintenance, you just define in the BOM item that the item’s Read more:Condition
Selection from a Class Item 2008-09-01 09:46:52 Use You have various options for selecting a specific material or document from a class item (sometimes called "specializing" a class item).The class item is automatically replaced according to the characteristic values assigned when the material is configured. This means that object dependencies for the class item must make values for the characteristics of the class known. If the system fin
Selection from a Class Item: Example 2008-09-01 09:45:51 Create characteristic REARLIGHT_TYPE, with values Dtoplight Plus, Toplight, and FER. Create class REARLIGHT with class type 200. Define the following additional data for the class:· The class can be used in bills of material (BOMs).· The base unit of measure is piece.· The item category for the resulting material is L (stock item).You have created 3 materials – R1220, R1221, and R1222.

Finding Objects in a Class Item 2008-09-01 09:45:05 Procedure You can start the function for finding objects in a class item from the result screen, or in a multi-level, interactive configuration, you can select the class item from the Confign structure:Select the class item and choose Find objects.You see the characteristics of the class. You can enter characteristic values as search criteria.Choose Find object again.You see a list of objects t
Variant Classes 2008-09-01 09:44:41 In variant configuration, a class is used to hold the characteristics that describe a configurable material. By linking the class to the configurable material, you allow the material to be configured using the characteristics of the class.You can only use a class in variant configuration if the class has a class type that supports variant configuration. In the standard R/3 System, the class type f Read more:Classes
Defining Classes as BOM Items 2008-09-01 09:44:00 Purpose You can use class items to control the selection of variant parts in a BOM. Variant parts are classified in a class, and the class is entered in the BOM as a class item. When you configure the material, the class is replaced by a suitable variant part.Class items can help you to simplify maintenance of BOMs for configurable materials:You only enter one item for the class, instead of sev Read more:Classes

The Configuration Profile 2008-09-01 09:43:05 Purpose You maintain configuration profiles for configurable objects to define central settings for configuring the object. You can create several configuration profiles with different settings for an object. If an object has several configuration profiles, you must select a profile during configuration. You can only make changes to a configuration with the profile that you first used to config Read more:Configuration
Controlling the BOM Explosion in PP 2008-09-01 09:42:17 The following factors determine how a BOM is exploded:BOM usageBOM applicationFilter defined in the configuration profile BOM Usage When you create a BOM, you must enter a usage. This usage defines which application areas (for example, sales and distribution, engineering/design, or production) a BOM can be exploded in. For example, the standard R/3 System supports usage 1 for BOM explosion i Read more:Controlling

Single-Level BOM Explosion 2008-09-01 09:40:59 Purpose The BOM is exploded on one level on the result screen in the sales order. Other configurable material can be contained in the BOM and these can be configured. However, the BOMs of these materials are not exploded in the sales order.You can combine this setting with Process: Sales order when dealing with configurable material of the BOM that you want to assemble in a set structure. See Read more:Explosion
Multi-Level BOM Explosion 2008-09-01 09:38:45 Purpose The setting BOM explosion: multi-level means that multiple levels of the BOM of a configurable material are exploded in the sales order, if the configuration profiles of the configurable assemblies also support BOM explosion. You can configure assemblies across multiple levels.Variant product MULTIMEDIA_WORKSTATION supports multi-level BOM explosion. The BOM contains configurable materi Read more:Explosion

Bill of materials 2008-09-01 01:21:27 Bill of materials (BOM) is the term used to describe the "parts list" of components needed to complete a saleable end-item. BOMs are hierarchical in nature with the top level representing the sub-assembly or end-item. For example the end-item BOM for a Personal computer would list the computer, its major sub-assemblies (board, chassis, modem, keyboard, display, etc.) as well as additional material
PP Faqs -II 2008-09-12 05:44:06 Q: How to configure the planning calendar for the ATP calculation where goods are shipped every other working day?A: Use Transaction MD25 and define calculation rule for every other working day. Check the lot size settings in OMI4 and maintain relevant data in MMR. Q: We have two different production lines with different operations. One production line works 5 days a week and the other 7 days a we
Bills Of Material PP 2008-09-12 05:43:20 Q: We have a BOM - 'A' with two packing materials 'X' and 'Y'. For 1000 units of 'A', 1 packing material of 'X' is required and for 50 units of 'A', 1 packing material of 'Y' is required. Base quantity of 'A' is defined as 1000. How can I define 'X' & 'Y' or in fact 'A'?A: Make the base quantity of 'A' as 5000. The resulting component quantities would be 5 of 'X' and 100 of 'Y'. Read more:Bills
Work Centers PP 2008-09-12 05:42:58 Q: Can we have more than 6 standard values in standard value key?A: One way to achieve this is to create another operation step using the same work center. However this shall be with a control key that is not a milestone. When the milestone operation is confirmed, the previous operations up to the next milestone are automatically confirmed. To get the desired number of standard values , all the 'n
Routing - III 2008-09-12 05:42:39 Q: Can we use same routing for materials undergoing the same process/operations? Can we avoid separate routing for each and every material produced?A1: Presume that there are 50 products and the fabrication shop uses a set of 10 machines. If all these products use the same settings of the machines, Reference Operation Sets (task list type S) can be setup for common processes that use the same work Read more:Routing
Routing - II PP 2008-09-12 05:42:20 Q: Scheduling times can be defined in the material master record by;# entering the in-house production time. This value can be updated from the routing by the system.# entering the setup, tear down, processing, and interoperation times. If these values are maintained, the system determines the in-house production time on the basis of lot size.How do you get the system to update this value from the Read more:Routing
Routing - I PP 2008-09-12 05:41:59 Q: We have deleted a group key in an operation in routing and the same does not appear for this routing (CA02). But we noticed that entries are maintained in table PLPO and the deletion indicator is not set. How does the system remember this deletion of group key?A: You may look at the tables PLKO, MAPL and PLAS. Read more:Routing
Sales & Operations Planning PP 2008-09-12 05:41:40 Q: We defined SOP in months. However during SOP transfer to demand management, our independent requirements are appearing in weeks. How can we correct this from weeks into months ?A: Check transaction OMPA for general split. OMPS - based on the MRP group. Ensure that MRP group assigned to the material. Delete any allocations in these tables. Then periods will be transferred to Demand Management wi Read more:Sales
Demand Management PP 2008-09-12 05:41:24 Q: Sales quantities in SOP for certain days are transferred into Demand Management
and are shown as planned independent requirements. We need to keep the settings in SOP and change the periods in Demand Management? We would like to have a rolling horizon, for ex: the following 4 weeks on a daily basis, after that on a monthly basis. What is the best way to do this?A: Use the automatic period split
M R P - IV PP 2008-09-12 05:41:05 Q: We have a lot size procedure here which is creating more order proposals. How do you set the limit value for maximum number of MRP order proposals per date in IMG?A: Under customization, try materials management->consumption based planning->maintain all plants
M R P - III PP 2008-09-12 05:40:44 Q: What is the difference between "planned consumption" and "Unplanned consumption"? Can safety stock calculation be done on either of these?A: While customizing movement types (OMJJ) it is defined as to which set of consumption values gets posted during the material movement. For some it may always be the total consumption and for some it is always the unplanned one and for some it is dependent o
M R P - II PP 2008-09-12 05:40:23 Q: We want the system to run a single level MRP automatically on receipt of sales order. How to configure triggering event based MRP?A: This can only be run if material master has planning strategy 41 (made-to-order) in the MRP2 view. We need to run for other MRP types. We have to create a user exit in the sales order processing (VA01) to start MRP based on data from our sales transaction.
M R P - I PP 2008-09-12 05:40:03 Q: We have an assembly 'A' using a subassembly 'B'. 'B' in turn uses raw material 'C'. Item 'A' is an MPS and is duly marked in Material Master. Item 'B' and 'C' are marked as 'PD'. When demand for 'A' is entered and MPS is run , upto which level the requirements are taken care of?A: MRP can be run depending on your requirement. For example:Single Item / Single Level from MPS - Transaction Code MD
Production Orders-IX PP 2008-09-12 05:39:24 Q: We get an error message "Control parameters for scheduling not defined" while creating test production Orders. Why?A: Before you attempt creating Production
orders, configure yourOrder types- Transaction Code OPHJOrder type Dependent parameters - Transaction Code OPL8Backorder Scheduling - Transaction Code OMIHScheduling Levels - Transaction Code OMIF
