Mass upload of BOM

[Former Member]

Dear PP mates,

My client has a requirement to upload the BOM for spares. As it is a mass upload, which is advised?  LSMW or BDC ?

Certain BOM spare header material has 1 component and some other header materials have 3-5 item components under.

How to ?

Regards,

Chris.

Dear,

It's better to use standard LSMW

1. Maintain Object Attributes

Object 0030 Material BOM
Method 0001 Create
Program Name RCSBI010
Program Type B Batch Input

2.Maintain Source Structures
Source Structures

BOM_HEADER BOM_Header

BOM_ITEM BOM_item

Please don't use the manual recording LSMW.

Also you can use the BDC to upload BOM too.

Dear,

Please Google it may you will get it

Setps are as,

1. Maintain Object Attributes

Object 0030 Material BOM
Method 0001 Create
Program Name RCSBI010
Program Type B Batch Input

2.Maintain Source Structures
Source Structures

BOM_HEADER BOM_Header

BOM_ITEM BOM_item

3.Maintain Source Fields

Here you maintain the Header and item fields correctly

in the source filed you have to add one field called identifier in the header and the item.

4.Maintain Structure Relations

BGR00-Bom header

BICSK-BOM item

BICSP-Bom item

5.Maintain Field Mapping and Conversion Rules

Do the filed mapping here correctly

6.Specify Files

a.Before thie you need to create 2 files.

1 file for the header material and the other one for the component material

b.In the header file you will have only one entry for one bom and it will have a idetifier number unique for each bom header

c.inthe item you will fill the rquireed number of component and also the unique identifer number.

d.this identifier is the key which joins the header and the item

7.Read Data

Now once the file are all mapped

Read the data, display the data and try to upload for one single material.
