BILL OF MATERIAL

[Former Member]

Hi ,

I have created 2 Materials ( X and Y ), maintained Item Category Group for material X as ERLA, so now system will take X pricing when we create a sales order , where as Y price is 0.

Now I am creating Outbound Delivery document ( VL01N) , I got both the materials in the delivery document ( X and Y ) . but when I do LT03 and LT12 , only X material is getting confirmed and even when I do PGI ,only X material gets updated. In billing also only X is coming .

Here My doubt is when customer places an order for Material X , we should deliver X + Y ( as both are BOM). but when delivery comes into picture we are able to create delivery only for Material X ,why can't we create a deliver for Material Y. If you are not creating deliveries for both the items then how can the customer will receive both the materials.

As I observed the Schedule line category for Material Y is CT , where there is no movement Type defined for this schedule line.

Please clarify...

Thanks & Regards,

Suresh

Hi Suresh,

This depends up on some factors. Whats the item category of your components? Check if your item is relevant for schedule lines? It is in Item Category Configuration screen. And I fyou want the system to confirm the schedule lines along with main item after checking, tick the check box "Create Delivery Group". First check the Item category and check the structure scope aswell.. Kindly please let me know If you need any more information on this.

Hi Ram,

Material - X Item Category is TAQ

Material - Y Item Category is TAE

in which Item Category ( TAQ or TAE ) we should check the field " CREATE DELIVERY GROUP " , pls confirm me .

Hi Ram,

I have done the configuration in Maintain Item Category ( Tcode: VOV7) for Item Category TAQ. I configured "A" in Create Delivery Group and "A" in Structure Group . After doing this again I have created a Sales Order and created Delivery , even same problem , only Material X can be delivered.

Hi Suresh,

Go to "VOV6" and check the schedule line category "CT" and see if relevant for delivery is ticked or not. Kindly please let ME Know If you need any more Information on this.

Hi Suresh,

Verify whether "Item rel for delivery" check box is checked or not for schedule line of Component. If it is checked, It should be copied over to delivery.

If it is checked and still not copied, Verify copy controls.

Hi Ram,

In Schedule Line Category CT "Item Relevant for Delivery " field is activated.

The subitem is copied into delivery document but i am unable to do PICK and PGI activities for Material Y.

One observation from my side is : I have checked the Delivery Item Category TAE and activated "Relevant for Picking Field" , "Storage Location Required " field and "Determine Storage Location " field. ( Tcode : OVLP)

Now again I have created a sales order and Delivery document. now in delivery document i am able to do the Picking and PGI activities for Material Y.

One more question is why SAP standard is not permitting to do the picking and PGI activities for BOM ( Material Y ).

any ideas from your side....

Once again thanks for your inputs.

Thanks & Regards,

Suresh

Hi Suresh,

In standard SAP ,why Components are not relevant for delivery when pricing is at header level is that, it is obvious when you deliver the main item , components will get delivered automatically. So In "0VLP" relevant for picking is not ticked. This is the reason why the components are not delivery relevant. For ex If you buy a computer, you will get cpu and Monitor , every thing gets delivered when you were billed for computer . Kindly please let me know If you need any more Information on this.

Hi Ram,

In your example if I deliver Computer automatically CPU and Monitor gets delivered.

But when we deliver computer ( after PGI ) , if we check the material document its showing only for computer only.

Example : ( before PGI )

Material Stock in Qty

-

---

-

---

Computer 100

CPU 100

Monitor 100

-

---

if you check the material stock after PGI

Computer ---99

CPU ---100

Monitor -

---

100.

as you said if we deliver computer then CPU and Monitor should deliver and it should be minus from the stock. but its not happening. Computer stock is getting minus and where as CPU and Monitor stock is not deducted from the total stock

I hope you got my point.

Hi Suresh,

If you are selling computer, Monitor and cpu are the components of the computer . correct? So This is an assembled material and stock gets reduced for the main component only. And the stock of the components gets reduced when components are priced. Check CS02 If the components are stock items are not? Kindly please let me know If you need any more information on this.

Hi Ram,

I am totally agree with you but when only main material gets deducted from the stock , what about sub items... if we deliver cpu and monitor and if stock is not updated then there will be some mismatch of subitems?

Hi Suresh,

Kindly fiind the explanation OF SAP about BOM in Sales order which explains you better.

When you enter the material number of a bill of materials that is relevant for sales order processing, the system displays the material that describes the whole bill of materials as a main item. The individual components are displayed as lower-level items.

There are two ways to process a bill of materials in Sales. Once you have entered a bill of material in a sales order, the system runs pricing, inventory control, and delivery processing at:

Main item level if the material is assembled, or

Component level if the material is not assembled

The type of processing used by the system is determined by the item category group that you enter in the material master record for relevant materials.

Processing at Main Item Level

If you want the system to carry out pricing, inventory control, and delivery processing at main item level, enter ERLA in the Item category group field of the Sales: sales org. 2 screen in the material master record of the finished product. This means that the components only function as text items and are not relevant for delivery.

This means If your main item category is "ERLA" , Inventory control is also at main item level. Kindly please let me know if you need any more information on this.

As you have used "ERLA" for Main item and "NORM" for components, Stock of Computer gets reduced and Components stock will not get reduced as they are created as components of BOM(IN CS02).

Hi Suresh,

There are two type of material in the BOM.

Main item

Component level.

In your case, X is the main item and Item Category Group for material X as ERLA.

Now in component material (Y), is the item category group is LUMF?

Please confirm.

Hi MT,

The Item Category for Material Y is NORM only.

As you said BOM can be at 2 levels , 1.Main Item Level

2.Component level.

If I want my pricing should be at Main Item level then I put item category group as ERLA in Material Master X , if I want my pricing should be component level then I put item category group LUMF in Material Master X, in both the scenario;s I maintain NORM in item Category Group in Material Master Y.
