SAP PP : BOM Usage
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.
In this way, each area is only dealing with the specific data it requires.
In Customizing for Production, define individual BOM usages for the different areas within your company by choosing
Basic data > Bill of Material > General data > BOM usage > Define BOM usages
BOM usages can be defined for the following scenarios:
- You maintain separate BOMs for different areas within your company, such as design or production.
- You create just one BOM for all areas within your company.
