Allocating Components to Standard Networks

Allocating Components to Standard Networks

Choose Logistics/Accounting ® Project management ® Basic data and then Standard structures ® Standard network ® Change.

You can also allocate material to a standard network when you create the standard network.

Enter a standard network and choose Activities.

Select the required activities in the activity overview and choose Activities ® Component overview or choose Goto ® Comp.Overview Netwk.

If no material components have been allocated to the standard network yet, the Bill of Material dialog box appears.

If material components have already been allocated to activities of the standard network, a dialog box appears in which the corresponding BOMs are displayed.

If you want to allocate further components from a bill of material (BOM) or change the existing allocations, select the BOM.
If you want to allocate components from another BOM or create a new standard BOM, choose Other material or Other standard BOM.

The further procedure is the same as if no components had been allocated.

You allocate material components as follows:

If you want to allocate components from an existing BOM, enter the material and plant in the dialog box and choose Continue.

If several BOM alternatives exist for the material, a dialog box with the alternatives appears. Select an alternative. A list of the material allocations appears.

If no BOM exists for the material, the system asks you, if you want to create a new BOM. If you want to, choose Yes, create the BOM and then return to the list of allocations by choosing Back.

If you do not want to create a normal BOM, you can use a standard BOM as an aid. For more information, see Creating a Standard Bill of Material for Allocating Material to a Standard Network

Select the BOM items that you want to allocate and choose Edit ® New allocation.

In the New Allocation dialog box, enter an activity or choose Oper/act. list to display a list of all the activities. Select an activity from the activity list.

The system allocates the BOM items to the activity.

If necessary repeat the last step to allocate further BOM items to other activities.

Choose Back.

The activity overview appears again.

Save the standard network.
