Order BOMs in Production 
Order BOMs in Production
Use
The automatically use order BOMs in production if you create a production order with reference to a sales order with an order BOM. In this case, during the transfer of master data to the production order, the order BOM is chosen as a matter of priority. Since there can only be one order BOM per material and sales order, no selection mechanisms are required, as they are for the selection of material BOMs (see
Selecting a bill of material).
If you, as a make-to-order manufacturer, want to monitor the production order links over several levels, you may also be interested in direct production with collective orders (see
Collective order).
Integration
Changes to an order BOM are treated as master data changes, in the context of order change management for production orders (OCM) (see
Order change management for production orders,
Creation of initiating objects).
Features
The transfer of an order BOM into a production order takes place without any special preparation being necessary in production control. The transfer takes place by carrying out the following actions:
Planned order conversion
The conversion of planned orders into production orders can be carried out as
individual conversion,
collective conversion and
partial conversion. If the components have been fixed in the planned order, they are transferred from the planned order and no transfers of the order BOM into the production order take place.You can create production orders (avoiding requirements planning) with direct reference to a sales order.
If an order BOM exists it is transferred to the production order when the master data is read.
