BOM Changes History

[Former Member]

Dear Sir,

We need to generate a Report showing all changes made in a BOM during a period . For making such a Report we are facing following problem :

a) The problem related to DELETED Item :

Say on 01/04/2009 , for a Material BOM of Item 'HEADER-1' , we inserted a child item say 'CHILD-1'

of quantity 1 number .

Then on 10/04/2009 , this Child Item was deleted from the BOM . Now we want to know the details

about the deleted Item ( say Material Code and Materal Quantity) .

We could not find any table , which can give this information .

b) The problem related to INSERTED Item :

Say on 01/04/2009 , for a Material BOM of Item 'HEADER-1' , we inserted a child item say 'CHILD-1'

of quantity 1 number .

From Table CDPS , we can know only that an Item has been INSERTED and have information like

BOM Number / Node / Counter .

But there is no information available about the Inserted ITEM CODE and It's Quantity .

We request you to kindly guide us , as how can we get this desired information .

With Thanks and Rgds

Dear Sonia,

Are you using ECM for BOM creation/changes?

Only this case its possible to generate a report.

The other alternative is use AUT10,but here you have to interpret certain values and data's,then only you

can identify for which BOM the changes has been made,to some extent this will be complicated.

Dear Mr Mangalraj.S

Thanks for reply .

We are not using ECM . The report AUT10 , also has the similar problem , as now information is available related to DELETED and INSERTED Items (like Item Code and It's quantity) .

Pl help us .

Dear Sonia,

You have to use the table STPO,but so much of work around is required for this and infact in my

observation this may not even be successful.

Say I have B and C as the component under the BOM of A.

Now Say the initial BOM was

B - 1 - Ea

C - 1 - Ea,

Now in STPO check whether are you able to see 2 item nodes one for B and one for C.

Suppose if I'm changing 1 ea of B into 10 ea,then in STPO,

against this B you will get the changed by value also for its item node ,and one more row will be seen

with the new item node say 00000003 and here you can find the previous node value as say 00000001.

Here for the newly created node if you compare the quantity with the previous node,you will be able to

identify the differences.Likewise it may be related to component scrap or any field.

on the otherhand say now if you delete the entire component B from the BOM and then check in

STPO,it will be quite complicated.

But in this case if you check in STAS you will be able to see only one row with a node for C.

So you have to compare STAS and STPO for the same.
