Integrate material dependency and ECN in SAP

73 Views Last edit Jun 14, 2020 at 11:57 AM 2 rev

We manufacture Genset (Header material), which has Components like Canopy, control panel, Engine, base frame etc. in the BOM.

Lets say we change the design of Canopy and create a new ECN number through CC01 for the same. We get a revision level and add it to the material master of the Canopy. As we don't change the material code of canopy, we do not make any changes to BOM of Genset (Header).

The problem now is, there is another component in BOM lets say the control panel, which is dependant on the design of the canopy. If Canopy design is changed and required change in design of control panel is not done on time, there could be mis-match in physical.

Thus our requirement is -

1. A facility within the BOM of Genset, where we can mention that Control panel is dependant on Canopy; and

2. After meeting above requirement, when we try to change or create ECN for Canopy, system should prompt to verify all the dependant materials of Canopy.

I. Are above requirements feasible in SAP (our version is SAP ECC 6, EHP8)?

II. If yes, what are the steps to complete the same?

Thanks in advance...!
