| Sales BOM Implementation
A bill of material (BOM) describes the different components
that together create a product. A BOM for a bicycle, for example, consists
of all the parts that make up the bicycle: the frame, the saddle, wheels,
and so on.
Process Flow
When you enter the material number of a bill of materials
that is relevant for sales order processing, the system displays the material
that describes the whole bill of materials as a main item. The individual
components are displayed as lower-level items.
There are two ways to process a bill of materials in Sales.
Once you have entered a bill of material in a sales order, the system runs
pricing, inventory control, and delivery processing at:
- Main item level if the material is assembled, or
- Component level if the material is not assembled
The type of processing used by the system is determined
by the item category group that you
enter in the material master record
for relevant materials.
Processing at Main Item Level
If you want the system to carry out pricing, inventory
control, and delivery processing at main item level, enter ERLA
in the Item category group field of
the Sales: sales org. 2 screen in the material
master record of the finished product. This means that the components
only function as text items and are not relevant for delivery. The following
graphic shows how a bill of material is processed at main item level.
Processing at Component Level
If you want the system to carry out pricing, inventory
control, and delivery processing at the component level, enter LUMF
in the Item category group field of
the Sales: sales org. 2 screen in the material
master record of the finished product. In this case, only the
components are relevant for delivery. During processing the system automatically
creates a delivery group. The latest delivery date among all the components
becomes the delivery date for the entire delivery group.
