Bill of Material (BoM) in SAP PP: Create, Change, Display

 

What is Bill of Material (BOM) and its role?

A bill of material is a complete, formally structured list of the components that make up a product or assembly. The list comprises of the material number of each component, together with the quantity and unit of measure.

  • BOM can be single level and multi-level. For example, finished material would contain semi-finished materials as components which in turn would contain raw materials as components in next level.
  • There can be different alternative BOMs for a product depending upon the lot sizes, validity dates, and different production methods.
  • BOM is used in production planning for semi-finished and purchase planning for raw materials.
  • BOM’s are also used in standard cost calculation for finished Product by rolling up the cost from raw to semi-finish and then to finished Product.
  • Material BOM can be made for material in PP module and equipment BOM are used in Plant Maintenance module.

How to create BOM

Step 1) From SAP Easy access screen open transaction CS01

  1. Enter parent material for which BOM needs to be created.
  1. Enter Plant Code.
  1. Enter BOM usage = “1” which is used for Creating Production BOM
  1. Enter the valid from the date which means that BOM would be valid from that date.

Troubleshooting

  • There might be the case wherein component material does not exist. For this, you need to create the material master for the component material before creating BOM.
  • Some users try to create the BOM again for the same Product, system gives warning message regarding “Alternative BOM2 is being created” and they tend to ignore the warning message and move forward and hence end up in creating similar alternative BOM 2 for same product. This unnecessary creates duplicate data.

How to Create Production version in SAP PP C223

  The production version is the link between a product BOM (Bill of Material) and the process Routing. It determines which alternative BOM is used together with which routing to produce a material or plan a material. There may be different production versions based on the lot sizes and validity dates. For example, there may be different versions if you want to produce 1 – 100 liter of paint than 100 – 1000 liter of paint, as such the different composition of BOM may be required in both cases. It comprises of the following data: The assignment of routings to the production version The assignment of the alternative BOM to the production version Production versions are used in material requirements planning (MRP), production order creation, and product costing to select the most suitable routing and the corresponding bill of material. In order to create production version, perform the following steps- Step 1)  From SAP Easy access screen open transaction  C223 Enter Plant Code. Enter pare

Production Order in SAP: CO01, MD16, CO02, CO15

  A production order defines which material is to be processed, at which location, and at what time and how much quantity is required. It also defines which components and sequence of operations are to be used and how the order costs are to be settled. Planned orders are results of running MRP. Shortages of materials that are set to internal procurement will create planned orders, which can be converted into production orders. Production orders are “hard copies”; they cannot be adjusted by an MRP run anymore. BOM and routing data of the materials are copied into the production order which determines the list of components and operational data in the order. Planned Costs also gets updated in the production order via component price and routing activity price. You can run an availability check on production orders which determines any missing components in the order so that you can bring that missing component for the order execution at shop floor. You can print the production order for

SAP PP Capacity Planning: CM01, CM21

  The main function of capacity planning is to check the load at Work Center and do the capacity leveling i.e. balance the load at Work Center. It helps to calculate the production capacity based on the requirement of the product against the available capacity of the work center. MRP works with infinite capacity and creates planned orders at the Work Center at the same time since it assumes that Work Center is available all the time. So, it creates planned orders on the same date based on the requirements despite capacity shortages. You can execute those orders on that Work Center in the system which is not practically feasible in the shop floor. The main objective of the capacity leveling includes leveling overloads at Work Center and to achieve optimum utilization of Work Centers. MRP generated planned orders are converted to production orders which determine which Work Center is to be used, and accordingly the capacity requirements are generated on that Work Center. Capacity levelin
