Stopping of Plan order creation for material which does not have a BOM

[Former Member]

Hi

Is it possible to stop creation of Planned order for materials with procurement type E and does not have a BOM. Any exit or enhancement?? Pls advice

Thanks & regds

Hi,

I have similar opinion.I think it is possible by using Work flow.Currently we are using Work flow for Material Master creation. After all the view are maintain, QM person release the Material for the Procurement and Production process.You can follow the similler process but adding one more check to it and that is Creation of BOM.Material should be released only after BOM creation (only for In house Produced Materials).

Hi Dhaval

I dont know about workflow for this. Can u guide how to use that with stepwise tcode?

Thanks & Regds

Hi Bishwanath,

I had never work for this ,but know how it work flows between users.Its just an idea which may control Materials usage without complete master data.Its a big task and required technical help as well as trained user also.So after considering all the aspects go for this.You can control the things by manual also as per out other experts suggestion.

But for your knowledge

But I feel there should be some enhancement or exit for this.

[dhaval_choksi3]

For What?

Had there been any exit/modification which can be activated for stopping of plan order creation in case the procurement is E and does not have a BOM. Or some other mechanism.

Hi,

What is the sense of your requirement? What is the business process?

Hi

The requirement is a HALB material code say HALB1 is created with procurement type E. The PIR is created in MD61. BOM is not created as of now and MRP was run. As per std Sap, system will create a planned order for HALB1.

But the client requirement is since BOM is not created, system should prevent to create any proposal. Once BOM is ready what the system is doing OK for them. They dont want to see unwanted proposals which they say is creating confusion.

Hope it is clear now

Hi,

The client requirement certainly does not seem to follow the business logic.

On one side you maintain PIR for HALB and on the other side you do not want Planned order since there is no BOM.

If PIRs are created for HALB, the system has to create planned order and should give you exception that BOM does not exist for the material.

The requirement can surely not be supported by standard SAP.

The only way could be change the mrp type to ND and change it once the BOM is created.

Hi,

As I understand your client want the material as not planned and if the BOM is created they want the material as planned automatically.

Whether a material is planned or not is controlled by the already suggested MRP type field. So, the existance of BOM cannot control the value of this field.

My ideas:

1.

You client should have a quality / engineering department and they should know when the material is ready for planning. At this moment they should change the MRP type or the material status of the material (you can block the material for planning via the material status as well).

2.

Do not change anything, because the PldOrds won't cause confusion since there's an exception message that tells everyone that the material is w/o BOM. Who will convert a PldOrd to PrdOrd if the company is not ready for the production?

Who is going to check the MRP list of a material that is out of use?

I think the best solution would be to control this via the material status. Just my opinion.

Dear Biswanath,

Do you mean to say the system is allowing you to create a Planned order manually in T code MD11 or is

the system giving you a planned order after MRP run even if there's no BOM for that product?

Please clear this .

Hello Mangal

Yes, I am able to create PLO for material through MRP run as well as thr MD11. It creates with an exception message 52 (BOM not found).

HI Biswanath,

you could use a material status in the material that prohibits MRP and production until a BOM was created. Setting and changing the status would need to be done manually after the BOM creation.

Hi,

You can choose MRP type as ND (No MRP) in MRP1 view of the material.

Hi

I can not use ND as it will never create PLO. The reqmt is if BOM is there it should create otherwise not.
