goods receipt of packaged material but goods issue for package items

Hi ,

I have a package item say Pak1 . It has 2 material components sub1 and sub 2  (made it as non valuated) . I can't order sub1 and sub 2 items separately. Hence I create a PO with material item PAK1 , valuated with cost 100 USD  with account assignment as Inventory . Now when I receive it in inventory , I want the  BOM to be exploded automatically and inventory entries should be 3 . One for PAK1 with cost and other two entries for sub1 and sub 2 with quantities as maintained in BOM (value zero as it is non valuated) . Since customer issues mostly the sub items , he needs them to be inventorised .

One way to do this is to include all the items of BOM and main material in PO , make sub items as free goods and do GR .  But problem with this process is once all these items are in inventory , the relationship doesn't exist . Hence if sub items are scrapped or not returned etc , ideally the main item PAK1 , inventory value and count should become zero. Other method is to charge off pak1 to CC.  But usually pak1 will be in inventory till it is issued

Can anyone suggest better method  to handle this ?

Hi Prasad,

I am sorry to inform you that what you want is not possible. SAP won't allow you to keep packaged products on stock and the items. In this case, you have two possibilities:

1. Buy them in MM als poducts with subitems and keep the subitems in stock.

2. Using Product Package functionality in SAP CRM. In this case you define products packages from CRM and do a multilevel ATP check in APO. This Multilevel ATP will let you "see" the packages on stock and the items in those packages. You can then execute the assembly of packages in EWM.

Product packages used to be a function for Utilities and Telecom industry, but is now generally available in CRM as a business function.

Hi Prasad,

Since it has been a while since I had a look at this functionality, the correct terms could not come to mind. The functionality you are looking for is not calles Package sales, but Kit sales and Kitting in APO and EWM. As said in my previous post, you will need the SCM suite to execute this process properly.

Kits in the Sales Order - SAP Library
