Dear both,

thanks a lot for your explanations, I wasn't sure if I have an issue or not but than I'll leave it like it is....cause we are working within process industrie and for use it´s required to have all components visible within the BOM, even they are marked as Bulk material.

Thanks

Hi Maike,

did you mention the Bulk Material in The components of the BOM ? Then sap will creates A resarvation for the Required material of BOM when ever A Production order is released for The FG material.

  Resarvation is  Just an information To the Material Planners About the Requirement of the material.

   resarvation will not have any direct  affect on the Material Movements. one resarvation no will holds all the require Materials for a Particular production order with quantities.

we can create Manual resarvations of a material for Future Purpose.

Hi,

yes the bulk material is part of my BOM. But I don't understand why the system creates a reservation for a material which is marked as bulk material, means it´s always available...

And when I check the reservation with transaction MB25, the reservation of the bulk material will be shown with movement type 261....but movements are not allowed....

So what should/will happend with these kind of reservations?

Should I delete those on a monthly or weekly base?

Hi Maike

The reservations table (RESB) is where all the production and planned order components are saved and read from.

If system don't create reservations for bulk materials, they cannot be displayed on the production order list of components.

If you don't need to see those materials on the list of component, you can remove them from the BOM and the reservation will not be created.

Otherwise, it is necessary to have a reservation even for bulk materials.

This reservation will be deleted from the database during the order archiving.

Hi Maike,

you can delete the reservations. it will not have any impact on any other object. resarvations is just to pass the information about the quantity requirements. other than this they will not have any other use or impact on the business.

as the standard behaviour system will craete Resarvations for all the components of the BOM. i think you can remove the bulk material from your BOM it will not have any affects on your process.

Thanks&Regards,

Venkat.
