Making the planning off for bom item

Hi All,

Assume that there is assembly ABC which is having the BOM. The BOM is haaving 3 components P, Q & R.

For component say R, the requirement is such that MRP should not generate the dependent requirement OR even if MRP generates it, the dependent requirement should not get planned.

What are the varoius ways by which this can be done ?

I can not make mrp type "R" = ND  as "R" is there in some other BOMs as bom item & I need it to get planned in other BOMs.

I also can not mark the explosion type of "R" = "Planning Off" because as per my knowledge this works only if the part is having the Planning Strategies -Planning without final assembly OR Planning with planning material. In my case these strategies are not used.
So, cn I get some inputs that how can this be done ?
Regards,
MHP.

Hi Manish,

Can you please tell me then why you need this in BOM?

Is this component not getting consume during production backflush?

If NO you can mark it as Text item in Item Category in BOM.

If yes then how you are planning for the same.

Thanks

Hi All,

Thank you for all the answers, points allocated.

This component in BOM we need it only for display / information purpose.

If I want to make it as text item then I would not be able to enter the material number in BOM for that item. Right ?

But we need to enter the BOM item with it's part no, qunatity but still MRP should ignore it.

Can I have further ideas over this ?

Hi Manish,

You can still enter part number and use the method of defining alternative item group with zero usage probability in item details in BOM. You can still maintain the BOM quantity.

By doing this planning will not plan for this quantity as it has usage probability zero hence multiplication factor during planning always turns for this BOM header material requirement for this bom item to zero and you can not get dependent requirement from this header material.

Try this and test it it works 100 % for your requirement.

Hi Manish,

You can also go with Expert Sharat advice.

And with item category T you can maintain material number or description in Text field and Qty as well in Qty field only.

Information purpose can also be solved thru this.

Hi All,

Thank you for the replies, points allocated.

Making as R alternate item I know that it will work as defined by Sharat above. But I am not in favour to make it as alternate item since this is not the alternate item. And to define the alternate item I will need some base item in BOM so that I can define "R" as an alternate item of it. Is this correct ?

In case of text item, I am getting the following error. Not allowing to allow part number for "T' item.

Do not enter material for item category T

I have also tried to customize a new "Z' item category as an duplicate of "T" but when I am trying to specify that for this "Z" category part no is mandatoy OR optional then system is allowing me to configure Z item category.

Material entry not supported for TxtItm

Message no. 29614

 

Can I get further inputs ?

Hi Manish,

Idea is to leave Component field blank and press enter system will take you to text field. Now you can enter either Part number, Part Descreption or both.

Hi Manish,

define the alternate item I will need some base item in BOM so that I can define "R" as an alternate item of it. Is this correct ?

No. No need of any base item. Just mention alternative item group and test once.

Do not enter material for item category T

Item category "T" or "D" does not support to enter material.

Other Option

Try to maintain special procurement = '50' for that material in BOM item and try

Hi All,

Thank you for all the replies. Points allocated.

I perfectly agree that altrenate item is in line with my requirement & will work as stated above. And even we do not need the base material as the alternate item group can have 1 material or 100 materials. And the planning (dependent requirement) will happen according to their usage probabilities.

But since this is not alternate item I am looking for some more alternatives.

Making it phantom at Bom item should also work if "R" does not have the BOM. But if R is having the BOM (which in my can have a BOM of R but only for display / information) & if it is phantom at BOM item level and if we do not want MRP to plan R and it's BOM components then I think this will not work as MRP will not plan "R' but it will pass the dependent requirements to the components of "R"----- acording the working of Phantom R. And the components of R will get planned.

So can I get some more inputs here ?

Hi MHP,

Use concept of alternate item group inside BOM for this item R. Put usage probability equals to zero. So this items will not get planned in this BOM. I hope this will resolve your issue.
