BOM

[Former Member]

Dear all,

The requirment from client is

in BOM for one particular componet, they need additional description

apart from material master

i suggested them to maintain in in item details, in status/lng text

but they are not satisfied by it

they want in in first screen itself, where we enter materail & quantity

then i told to use the text of sort strig.

Now the query, can we use sortstrig for adiititional description

if we enter in sort string, then will it effect anyware while doing production (in other t-codes or MRP)

Plz share Your views on this query

Regards

kumar

Hi,

You can use the Sort string field for the materials description if the field size is sufficient. It will not have any effect on Production order.

It is provided by SAP just for sorting purpose nothing else.

HI Kumar,

For your ZBOM report you can use the following tables to fetch the data :

1. Sort String : STPO-SORTF

2. Item Text Line 1 : STPO-POTX1

3. Item Text Line 2 : STPO-POTX2.

Hope this will help you.

Hi Kumar,

In SE16 input

STLTY = M

STLNR= BOM number what you get from table MAST by passing the header material number.

double click in the input screen of POTXI you will get a new popup with varies operaters (+, <, >, etc)

choose the last one whic is not eaqual to , and let this field reamin blank.

execute the transaction , now you will only have entries for which POTX1 value is maintain.

please check and revert back.

Hoep it helps you.

Hi Kumar,

Yes you can use the sort string,there is no impact anywhere .

[rupesh_brahmankar3]

Dear,

It will not affect anywhere. It is use to l sort the components according to "sortstrng" value

Assign the string value for "sortstrng" filed for each Bom component in Item over View screen,

Then try with sort by sort string option.
