MRP & BOM Explosion - Material Types

[former_member351306]

Hi

I've material M1 with procurement type F and sp proc key 40 and material type is HAWA(Trading Goods). I've a valid BOM assigned to it and I've all the config relevant for MRP and BOM is carried out - atleast I think so. My problem is that when I run MRP for this material M1, I do not get the BOM exploded? I'm told that (I'm not sure though..) BOM explosion is only possible for FERTs and HALBs and also the procumkent type E or X - is this true?? Can you pl.confirm if this is correct? If yes, How should I plan for HAWA and it's components? During MD02 - I'm selecting planning mode as '2' (re-explode BOM & Routing). I do have a valid prod version too - is this a must?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

thanks a lot

BE.

Hi Brian,

F- Used for External Procuerement in general.

And based on the Special procurement type some times you can enforce to ignore the BOM, and Routing .. Please double check this key what exactly it means.

Basically Materials like Tradinggoods you generally don't add BOMs but infact you will enforce like Packing materials will be added to this using Sales order BOM.

Hope this helps.

Maybe you can use SAP Note <a href="https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/13023">13023</a> as a checklist
