BOM Mass Copy from one Usage to other Usage

[former_member222014]

Hi friends,

I have a requirement where Planning BOM will have multiple Alternative as Fiscal year progressing. Suppose current year Planning BOM with usage 6 will have Alt.BOM1, at the end of next year it will have Alt.BOM2 . So in order get next year Planning BOM, at the end of year my client wants to copy Actual Production BOM usage 1 Alt.BOM1 to Planning BOM Alt.BOM2.

I am planning to create a LSMW program to copy from Usage 1 to Usage 6, But first Alt.BOM with Usage 6 I can create by Copy. But when I go for Alt.BOM 2 with usage 6, it wont allow to enter Material, Plant, Usage only allow Alt.BOM for reference data.

I can find this standard behavior, but is there a way we can write a program to have reference materials details and target materials details like Material, Plant, Usage.

or we need to plan extract all Actual BOM usage 1 data and load freshly for usage 6 ....

Please let me know your inputs.

I tried BAPI

CS_CL_S_MAT_BOM_CREATE_BY_COPY in SE37, I am getting the below message

BOM 254 : Bill of Material not valid.

Thanks

Hi Nag, could you solve your problem by a abap program or standard functionality?
