BOM Download with prodution order to SAP ME

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

I am having an issue with transfer of BOM with production order to SAP ME and would appreciate your inputs.

The issue is as follows:

I have a product assembled on two different routing. BOM is same and is assigned to respective routing in SAP ECC material master production versions.

I am not sending the BOM to SAP ME and in system rule maintenance, setting for "Ignore BOM update" is set to FALSE.

When I send a production order with routing 1, a corresponding BOM is created in SAP ME and operation assignment is also mapped in the ME BOM.

But when I send a production order for same material on 2nd routing, BOM with assignment of operations from 2nd routing is not created. Instead it refers to the 1st BOM only with assignment of operations from 1st routing.

In both cases correct routing are getting copied though.

I have checked the Request and Response trace report for production orders. In request, components with correct operation assignments are coming. for both the production orders. In the response for 1st production order, BOM reference is coming correctly (either it refers to an existing BOM with same operation assignment or creates a new one).

But the response for the second production order picks up the existing BOM with operation assignment of 1st routing and not creating a new BOM.

As per the help documentation, it is supposed to create a new BOM when there is a difference in operation numbers in BOM downloaded with production order.

Can some guide me on this please?

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

Looks like the issue recently fixed by SAP Note 1920504.

Hello Sergiy,

Thanks for the inputs. I did have a look at the SAP Note mentioned by you. It does describe exactly the same problem that I have encountered. My Basis colleague is looking in to it.

I will revert back once I am done with this.

But in the absence of this, I was able to get a simple work around by creating two alternatives of BOM (same BOM components) and assigning to two production versions of same header material. In this case order download creates two BOMs.

Thanks for the iput.

PS: I have posted another issue. Would be nice of you if you could give your valuable inputs on this too.
