Hi Gurus,

pls Define BOM and give breef explanation.

hi

Bill of material form an important component of the Production Planning SAP PP module. In many SAP interviews candidates are asked to explain the concept of Bill of material. discussing the same below. What is a Bill of Material BOM in the SAP Production Planning PP module? Answer: In a layman's language, a Bill of Material is an complete list of components that make up a finished manufactured product. The Bill of material consists of the item number of each component, quantity required in the manufacture of a component and the unit of measure of the item. Such individual components which make up a manufactured product has a specific name in SAP. They are called Bill of Material Items BOM items. SAP R/3 allows creation of various categories of BOM Bill of Material. Some of the categories of BOM include, document BOM, material BOM, equipment BOM, Sales Order BOM and Functional location BOM.

Hi Naresh,

BOM ---> Bill of Material.

A Bill of Materials (BOM) lists all the items that go into a finished good or subassembly. The Bill of Materials can simply list only the Materials and Quantities being used to manufacture a finished good or sub assembly. Furthermore it can be structured in a manner indicating all the the steps of assembly. This can let the bill of materials look like a tree with the finished good or subassembly as root. Items in a subassembly can be parts whose amounts whould be counted as natural numbers of pieces or if it is simple materials being used, measurements of mass, length or volume. bills of Materials are used as documents supporting the assembly process. They also play a role in MRP I, MRP II and ERP inventory and resource management systems.

A bill of material (BOM) describes the different components that together create a product. A BOM for a bicycle, for example, consists of all the parts that make up the bicycle: the frame, the saddle, wheels, and so on.

Best regards,

Hi,

Bill of materials (BOM) is the term used to describe the "parts list" of components needed to complete a saleable end-item.

BOMs are hierarchical in nature with the top level representing the sub-assembly or end-item. For example the end-item BOM for a Personal computer would list the computer, its major sub-assemblies (board, chassis, modem, keyboard, display, etc.) as well as additional materials needed for a complete saleable product -- shipping box, user manual, packaging, packaging labels, etc.

Hi,

The term itself says that Bill of materail.

Bom is nothing but a list of materails needed for aparticular product.

Let us consider a system.

Entire system is nothing but a product.

Inorder to prepare a product we need some components like monitor, CPU etc.These are are level 1 components.

And inorder to make a CPU we need the RAM, Motherboad etc.These are the level 2 components.

The tode CSMB shows the entire BOM explosion.

I think this is useful for you.

Reward points if useful.

Thanks & regards

Hi

A bill of material (BOM) describes the different components that together create a product. A BOM for a bicycle, for example, consists of all the parts that make up the bicycle: the frame, the saddle, wheels, and so on.

Process Flow

When you enter the material number of a bill of materials that is relevant for sales order processing, the system displays the material that describes the whole bill of materials as a main item. The individual components are displayed as lower-level items.

There are two ways to process a bill of materials in Sales. Once you have entered a bill of material in a sales order, the system runs pricing, inventory control, and delivery processing at:

- Main item level if the material is assembled, or

- Component level if the material is not assembled

The type of processing used by the system is determined by the item category group that you enter in the material master record for relevant materials.

Processing at Main Item Level

If you want the system to carry out pricing, inventory control, and delivery processing at main item level, enter ERLA in the Item category group field of the Sales: sales org. 2 screen in the material master record of the finished product. This means that the components only function as text items and are not relevant for delivery. The following graphic shows how a bill of material is processed at main item level.

Processing at Component Level

If you want the system to carry out pricing, inventory control, and delivery processing at the component level, enter LUMF in the Item category group field of the Sales: sales org. 2 screen in the material master record of the finished product. In this case, only the components are relevant for delivery. During processing the system automatically creates a delivery group. The latest delivery date among all the components becomes the delivery date for the entire delivery group
