BOM not exploding for CR doc. type while creating sales order.

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I have a problem in BOM. When created the BOM with sales doc. type OR, then BOM exploding as usual and picking pricing for main item.. But when I tried for sales doc. type CR, then the BOM is not being exploding and also pricing is also not picking. Can any one help me for this problem.

Thanks in advance,

Raksha.

hello, friend.

in standard SAP, there are no settings for returned items' BOM explosion in the sales order type (e.g. RE, CR). you will note that item category groups ERLA and LUMF are not assigned to these order types, and therefore no item category relevant for BOM explosion can be proposed.

as forwarded by the others, what are your reasons for wanting BOM in the returns or credit memo request? i imagine that one of the reasons may be that the customer could be returning a material with some missing components, and that value/inventory is relevant at component level. you do have the following options, if your client should so insist on BOM in these order types:

1. enter the components individually in the order, or

2. define your own item categories that support BOM explosion (based on REN, G2N, TAQ, TAP, etc...), and assign these to your order types using VOV4.

regards.

P.S.

not having done this myself, it should also be said that the above is a theory which should be tested.

Thanks

I have given similar combination of Item category determination of the doc. type OR to CR for ERLA and NORM item category groups in VOV4, even though I could not get BOM explosion for the doc. type CR and pricing is also not picking for main item in CR doc.type. But I am able to get the BOM explosion for OR doc. type. Can any inputs in this problem from experts?

Many Thanks

Hello,

Can you brief how are you doing the process of credit returns in system? Which SAP version you are using?

Tell me in detail from start to end business process how you did then we will come to conclusion where it is causing.

Hi Gopi,

We are using 6.0 SAP version, we have the scenario, order>delivery>billing>credit memo req.>credit memo. For BOM material, When I create credit memo request with reference to billing the sub items are getting negative values. Why it may be like so? What copying control I should maintain?

Thanks

Hi,

Go to VTAF billing to sales document copy control and check below settings:

Header:

Data Transfer -052 Billing doc header

Data Transfer Buis - 103 Billing bus header data

Data Transfer Part - Billing Header Partner

Copying requirements - 021 Billing Header

Check Copy item number

Uncheck complete reference

Item:

Item Cat proposal G2N Request

Item TAN - Standard item

Data Transfer -153 item from Billing doc

Data Transfer Buis - 104 Billing bus Item data

Data Transfer Part - 004 Billing Item Partner

bl.pl - Leave it blank

Copying requirements - 303 Billing Header

uncheck copy schedule lines and do not copy batch

check update document flow

Pricing type - D

Leave blank - Campaign Deter.

Points to add: If you create without reference to an invoice then it would not explode BOM in RE return order because the configuration not set in REN item category.

As a standard business process return orders always create with reference to invoice.
