Change configurable link of material BOM

Former Member

Dear ALL EXPERT,

We have a semi-finished material which is linked with a configurable material(Plant specific configuration).

From CS12 it was linked with configurable BOM.

An example:

Configurable material: GAA000

Semi finished material: GBH015

BOM: GBH015

Item: 10 = Y-SMPL

Item: 20 = YAB01

Item: 30 = YAC01

IN BOM stages for GBH015 we need to change the item 10. It will replace with YAA01.

In CS02 it is showing "BOM can only be change via standard product GAA000"

In CS23 it is showing "No selection made for usage of material GBH015"

Can anybody advice me?

Thanks and B/R

Bishnu Dey,

Your material GBH015 is a material variant and doesnt have its own BOM, what ever characteristic values you assigned in MRP 3 view of material GBH015 are deriving selection of components from BOM of configurable material GAA000.

If your requirement is to have item 10 as YAA01 instead of Y-SMPL, you need to make this replacement in BOM of GAA000 using CS02. But this changes will be applicable for all the material which are material variant of GAA000, so please first check  how this change will affect other products and then make change.

Also , as configurable material GAA000 is having super BOM , it may possible it will have more components similar to Y-SMPL and there will be a selection condition ( object dependency to select those, you can look for dependency which is selecting Y-SMPL , add you new component YAA01 in bOM of GAA000 using same position 10 and assign the dependency assigned to Y-SMPL at this level too and delete/change from earlier selection to make sure this both should not be selected.

seems you are new to variant configuration , i suggest go through help.sap.com to explore more on this topic as well as you can use below links to know more on material variant.

reply if you need further help.

Dear Ritesh,

Thanks for reply.

Actually Y-SMPL is used for creating some sample order.

YAA01 maintain huge material with inventory stock. Whenever we make any order as per BOM the requirements will carry into BOM components from configurable BOM.

The problem is made by our MM staff who is in-charge of create the material master with assignments class in material classification. But he select the wrong class into GBH015 during create material master.

Now is okay.

Thanks for your kind reply.

With best regards
