how to explode a BOM in sales order

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have the following scenario.

Product 999 is made by putting together cases of the products 12345 and 8888. The packaging for 12345 and 8888 is not altered but they just take 4 CAR of 12345 and 8 CAR of 8888 and put them on one pallet and that makes a 999.

We get a sales order from customer only for 999 and we would like to have something happen automatically like BOM explosion ( this could be also a trigger when a background job is run) and the sales order should get the relevant qtys. of 12345 and 8888 in the same sales order along with 999.

I was searching in internet and I found that we can use item categories to achieve this. Can some body advise how to do that?

main questions around this are what are the item categories I need to use, what is the BOM type to be created etc...?

Thanks.

Dear

Go to MM02 for 999, in sales org2 tab page change item category group as ERLA. Then Go to CS01. Give the material 999 , plant and BOM usage as 5. Then in the component give your two components 12345 & 8888 with quantity. Give ICt ( Item category) as L( stock item). Then save. Create sales order with material 999. The components will appear themselves . Pricing & inventory, material movement will be done only for the main item. thus in vk11 maintain price for 999.

Please revert for further enqueries.

Hi,

Maintain iteam category group in material master as per u requirement

ERLA - Structre Material above (Price at main item level)

or

LUMF - Structure material below(Price at each item level).

Now in t-code VOV7,

Select higer level item category which you are dtermining mostlt

TAP or TAQ, go in details of item category

under bill of material tan/configuration maintain APLLICATION - SD01

Now create Material BOM by CS01.

It will explode in sales order.
