BOM changes - different dates for same Change Master?

[Former Member]

  Hello All,

One basic query in BOM changing using a change number..

IS there any function, by which we can assign different effectivity dates for different items with a same change number in the same BOM..

For example, I have a BOM - A, with items A1,A2, A3... (all quantity 1)
I have change master C1

Now when I change the BOM with C1

The quantity of A1 should change to 2 with effect from 1-April-2013, but for A2 the quantity should change from 15-April-2013 to quantity 2?

I believe it's not possible in standard SAP, you'd have to create two change numbers.

Hi Jeevan,

Thanks for the reply..

Let me explain the business case..

We have a change implementation process.. So during initial implementation both the changes for A1 and A2 are implemented with effect from 1-April-2013.

Due to some reasons, the change of A2 alone need to be shifted. I created another change number C2,and my only requirement is to change the Date of A2 to 15-April with C2..

I checked but the system is not accepting the changes with C2, since there is no  structural or item changes ..

How can we meet this requirement with two change numbers?.. C1 and C2

BOM A (initial implementation)

A1- 01-April-2013 - C1

A2 -01-April-2013 - C1

BOM A (Final implementation)

A1- 01-April-2013 - C1

A2 -15-April-2013 - C2

Use change number C1 and delete A1, save the bom, next go to change mode again (CS02) by using the change number C2 (which has valid from date as 15.04.13) and add the component A1.

Thank you Jeevan. I was looking for an option to see the new date as a changed information like a quantity change for example..

I am closing this thread as of now
