Select Alternative BOM in Sales order

Explain how to Select Alternative BOM during Sales order creation?

For example, I have material 'A' which contains two BOM alt-1 and alt-2. During SO creation I want to select BOM which one I want to plan during MRP run.

Answers:

Config T-code OS32 Alternative BOM Determination

Alternative BOM item

Item used as an alternative to one or more BOM items. MRP plans alternative material components according to usage probability.

Alternative items in a BOM that belong together are assigned to an alternative item group.

Alternative items are selected automatically according to:

Priority

Strategy

Usage probability

Go to CS01 / CS02 enter your Higher-level item and after giving inputs like usage, plant

You can create many alt BOM's

While you process the BOM in sales order, pop up window will come where you can select your Required BOM among alternatives.

Check the field Alternative BOM in CS01

Alternative BOM

Identifies one BOM in a BOM group.

Procedure

When you create a BOM, the system creates the first alternative.

If you want to create more BOMs for the same material (multiple BOM), you have two options for assigning the alternative:

If you do not make an entry, the system determines the next unused alternative. This value is displayed in the message line and set as a default.

You assign an alternative. The system checks whether this already exists.

This is the concept of BOM please go through:

If you buy a PC(Non-Branded), billing will be done for each item which is knows subitem level pricing.

If it is Branded PC-billing will be for total PC-is main item level pricing.

Config:

If it is for Branded PC- ( Main item level pricing)

You should create PC as main material with Item cat group-ERLA

Monitor, Mouse, keyboard-as subitems with item cat group-NORM

CPU- Subitem consists of components ,so create CPU - as main item with item cat group-ERLA

Now Create components like

RAM,

HDD

Mother Board

Processor----

All components with item cat group - NORM

Create BoM - CS01

a)- PC as main item ,

include Monitor, Mouse, keyboard & CPU as subitems with respective qty.

b)- Create BoM-CS01- CPU as main item

Include

RAM,

HDD

Mother Board

Processor -

As subitems with respective qty.

Maintain item cat determination:

OR+ERLA=TAQ----

Rel for delivery/pricing/billing & structure scope should be-B- Explode multilevel BoM.

ORNORMTAQ=TAE---Not release for billing/pricing & only delivery allowed without AC.

Maintain the condition record for main item VK11-PC only.

Stock will be reduced from main item from the inventory only .

Maintain the stock for main item only

Similarly ,

in Non-Branded PC's, its Subitem level pricing

Small changes, main item -item cat group will be LUMF.

like

PC(Non-Branded)- LUMF

Subitems -NORM

CPU-LUMF

OR+LUMF=TAP (release for billing/del-to confirm the order qty as it has the control in structure scope-B-explode multi-level Bom)

ORNORMTAP=TAN( release for billing/pricing/del)

Maintain the condition record for main item VK11-for all subitems.

Stock will be reduced from sub item from the inventory only .

Stock should maintain for all subitems

APART FROM THAT.,

When we create a condition record in CS01 BOM for the particular material is created and when we want some other additional BOMs for that material in change mode of CS02 we create some other BOMs,

So, when we raise a sales order, we can select the appropriate BOM and deliver the goods,

MRP runs for the materials on which you raise the sales order only.
