How to delete a BOM?

[Former Member]

Hi,

Could anyone please tell me how to delete a BOM and the transaction which we use please?.I need to drop or delete a complete BOM

Thanks in advance.

I don't think BOMs can be completely deleted. You can change the status of the BOM to Historical or Inactive or mark all the items for Deletion. No matter what they will be there in the tables, but they are just marked for deletion like the material master deletion. To completely delete a BOM, you have first make it one of the above(there is also delimiting the validity of the BOM), and then may be archive it. I don't know the archive object for it, but check in tcode SARA.

Hi,

I think you can delete Material BOMs in change mode one at a time.

Pl take a look at the following <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/ea/e9bc124c7211d189520000e829fbbd/frameset.htm">sap help</a>

Suresh has posted the link to the help on this subject. Please check if that works for you. If you ECM(Engineering Change Management) active, then I don't know if you can delete it completely.

Why do you want to delete the BOM? What is changing in the BOM? Can't you just update the BOM with the new information if it is for the same material, plant, usage combination?

In my system, there is no change manangement turned on for BOMs, so deleting BOMs completely is not a problem. You go to CS02, enter the material, plant, usage and hit enter. Now from the menu, choose delete. That's it.

Create a program that removes BOM allocations to plants for a specified range of BOM materials and plants.

The selection screen should contain the fields:

Material number (from - to and multiple selection) - entry should be required/mandatory

Plant (from - to and multiple selection)

BOM usage

Alternative BOM

The program should utilze the entered information.

Then remove the BOM allocations specified in the selection screen.

After the program run the should be a list displayed that contains the following information:

All errors that have occured while deleting allocations

All BOM - plant - BOM usage - Alternative BOM combinations where the allocation has been deleted.

Hi Rich,

Thanks a lot for your information. It is the easiest way to delete a BOM when we have different alternatives.

In transaction code CS02, put the required information i.e. Material, Plant, Usage and Alt BOM and opt the "Delete" option from "Material BOM" drop down menu.

Go to transaction code SARA and enter the "Archiving Object" as "CS_BOM" and click on WRITE button.

Create or edit an existing variant where

a) Archive Material BOMs - checked ON

b) Bill of material = BOM number from database table MAST/STKO

c) Plant = as per requirement

d) BOM Usage = as per requirement

e) Alt. BOM = as per requirement

f) Selection by del. indicator - selected

g) Production mode - selected

h) Delete with Test Variant - checked ON

i) Detail log = Complete

j) Log output = List

Schedule job as per requirement through button "Start Date"

Setup spool parameters as per requirement

Execute transaction code SARA and a Background job will get scheduled accordingly and will perform the required task.

By clicking on "Job" button the details of the job can be verified.

Thanks and regards

if you have an equipment BOM, enter to TCODE IB02, put the number of the equipment to enter to the BOM. Once into the BOM go to the menu Equipment BOM -- > Delete delete-bom.png.

If you have a Functional Location BOM use the TCODE IB12 and follow the same Steps.
