Component scrap in percent value is also used in material requirement planning (MRP) to determine the quantities of component required. When exploding the bill of material (BOM), the SAP system will increase the required quantities of the components by calculated scrap quantity

Many companies have only one universally applicable BOM structure for all areas of their company. This structure usually takes the form of complete single-level BOMs, created in the design department, and used in both material management and the assembly workshop.

 

The standard SAP system allows you to maintain individual BOMs for any area of your company. These BOMs are maintained independently of each other and are assigned different internal BOM numbers.

Extending the Area of Validity of BOM

Filed under: Production Planning Module 

The area of validity (plant or group) that was defined when a BOM was created, can be extended. To do this, you allocate the same bill of material to a material in different plants.

  • You can allocate a BOM created in a specific plant (such as 0001) to additional plants (such as 0002 and 0003) or to the entire group (blank).
  • You can allocate a group BOM to individual plants.

 

These related BOMs are identified by a common internal BOM number in the standard SAP system. This internal BOM number is displayed on all screens for plant allocations.
