Maximum length: 2.
Bill of Material. Number used in combination with the BOM category to uniquely identify a BOM or a BOM group. The system assigns this number internally. These numbers are irrelevant to the user. You access the BOM by entering the object (for example, material or equipment) to which the BOM belongs.The system stores the following information under this number:all alternatives in a multiple BOMall variants in a variant BOMBOMs that are allocated to more than one plant. Maximum length: 8.
BOM category. This key defines a BOM according to the object (such as material or equipment) to which it is linked. Material BOM - linked to a materialEquipment BOM - linked to an equipmentOrder BOM - linked to material, sales order and sales order item. Maximum length: 1.
BOM component. Material number of the components that you enter, change or display as part of the BOM. A master record is usually maintained in the system for a component. Maximum length: 40.
Item category (bill of material). Categorization of the items in a BOM according to set criteria, such as whether they refer to an object (for example, material master or document info record) or whether they are kept in stock. This categorization allows you to process data that is relevant to the individual items in a BOM. The item category is used to control field selection, default values for BOM maintenance, triggering of specific system activities, and so on.Stock itemThis item category is used to manage material data that allows an item to be kept in stock.Document itemThis item category is used to manage document data that allows you to process original application data (for example, graphics created with a graphics program).Class item (for configurable BOMs)In configurable material BOMs, you can enter a class as a placeholder for selectable items. The class can contain either materials or documents.When you assign characteristic values while configuring the BOM, the system replaces the node with an object that has the same values as those assigned to the characteristic of the configuration. This makes BOMs with a larger number of variants easier to maintain, as you do not have to enter all items manually and assign a selection condition to them.Class items can be relevant to MRP.PM structure elementThis item is used to structure an equipment (PM assembly) for design purposes only.If you want to maintain a material for use as a PM structure element, use material type IBAU.

Component Unit of Measure. The unit for the component quantity. The system determines the unit as follows:Material items with a material master record - base unit of measure from the material master record.Class items - unit defined in the additional data of the class.Additional units for material items with a material master record:For material items, you can maintain alternative units of measure to the base unit of measure in the material master.In bills of material, not all alternative units of measure are taken into account - only the unit of issue.Possible values are:base unit of measureunit of issueunits of measure that have the same dimension as either the base unit of measure or the unit of issueIf you enter no unit, the system proposes a unit from the material master if the item has a material master:If the unit of issue was entered on the storage detail screen, the system copies this unit. Otherwise, it copies the base unit of measure. Maximum length: 3.
Global identification of an item's change status.
Alternative BOM. Identifies one BOM in a BOM group.

Indicator for relevancy to costing. This key controls whether and to what extent this item is relevant to costing. The extent is controlled by predefined factors for fixed and variable costs respectively.If this indicator is not set, the item is not costed.Indicator "x" determines that the item is always relevant to costing in all ways. This means that you do not need to maintain factors.You can enter factors if another indicator is entered.Factors between 0 and 1 are primarily used in inventory costing. These factors are not relevant to standard costing or order costing.Example: factor 0.5 in standard costing means that the item is costed with a factor of 1. Factor 0 means that the item is not costed. Maximum length: 1.
Indicator: item relevant to plant maintenance. Indicates that this item is relevant to plant maintainance procedures. Items that are relevant to plant maintenance are used in maintenance BOMs (material BOMs that are relevant to plant maintenance, equipment BOMs, and functional location BOMs).This item status indicator is used to control:Subsequent processing in related application areasSelection of items in the BOM explosionWhether you can set and remove this indicator, or whether the system makes an unchangeable setting, depends on the BOM usage you selected on the initial screen. You can find further information in Customizing for bills of material under General Data -> BOM Usage -> Define BOM usages.
Indicator: item relevant to sales. This indicator shows that this item is relevant to the sales and distribution area of a company. For example, in sales order processing vor variant products, you see items that are relevant to sales as order items for the header material.This item status indicator is used to control:subsequent processing in related application areaswhich items are selected in the BOM explosionThe indicator does not interrupt the explosion of the BOM to the lowest lever. There are two steps to the BOM explosion:First, the system explodes the entire BOM, regardless of the indicators selected to restrict items. You do not see the result of this explosion on the screen.Second, the system reads the indicators selected to restrict items, such as the Relevant to sales indicator.This status indicator works as a filter. The explosion result you see on the screen only includes the items that fulfil the selection criteria. In this case, only the items that are relevant to sales are shown. Maximum length: 1.
Indicator: Spare Part. This key defines the item as a spare part. In a BOM explosion, you can use this indicator to restrict item selection.The indicator does not interrupt the explosion of the BOM to the lowest level. There are two steps to the BOM explosion:First, the system explodes the entire BOM, regardless of the indicators selected to restrict items. You do not see the result of this explosion on the screen.Second, the system reads the indicators selected to restrict items, such as the Spare part indicator.These indicators work as filters. The explosion result, you see on the screen only the items that fulfil the selection criteria. In this case, only the items with the spare part indicator you selected are shown.In the IMG for BOMs, you can group spare parts together according to various points of view - for example, according to different maintenance cycles.Spare part group A contains spare parts that need to be replaced after a machine runtime of 100 hours, whereas spare part group B contains spare parts that only need to be replaced after a machine runtime of 500 hours.

Class number. Name used to uniquely identify a class within a class type. Maximum length: 18.
Class Type. Uniquely identifies the class type. Maximum length: 3.
Component Scrap in Percent. Percentage of scrap that occurs during production of the material if the material is a component. Component scrap is used in material requirements planning (MRP) to determine the quantities of components required. When exploding the bill of material (BOM), the system increases the required quantities of the components by the calculated scrap quantity.ExampleRequired quantity 200 piecesComponent scrap 10%Scrap quantity 20 piecesTherefore, 220 pieces are required.For examples of calculation in connection with the indicator for net scrap, see the documentation for this indicator.If there is also assembly scrap for a higher-level assembly, the system adds together the two types of scrap.If component scrap has been entered in the BOM, this value applies. Otherwise, the value specified in the material master record is used.

Indicator: assembly. Indicator: the component in this item has its own BOM. Maximum length: 1.
Indicator: recursiveness allowed. Indicator: controls whether the system checks the BOM for recursiveness. If you set the Indicator: recursiveness allowed, no recursiveness check is made for the item concerned: you can create a recursive BOM.
Indicator: Bulk Material. This indicator defines a BOM item as a bulk material, which is available directly at the work center (for example, washers or grease). The dependent requirements of bulk materials are not relevant to materials planning. This means they are not taken into account for net requirements calculation. Therefore planning for bulk materials should be consumption-based.If bulk materials are subject to material requirements planning, you must create planned independent requirements for them.Dependent requirements are only created in the planned order for information purposes and they can be displayed there. Dependent requirements for bulk material are not shown in the MRP list or the stock/req. list.You can maintain this indicator in both the material master record an the BOM item. The indicator in the material master record has higher priority.If a material is always used as a bulk material, set the indicator in the material master record.In this case, the Bulk material indicator in material master record is automatically set in the BOM item.If a material is only used as a bulk material in individual cases, set the indicator in the BOM item.To improve system performance, you can define in the IMG for MRP that no dependent requirements are to be created for bulk material items. However, this also means that you see no information on bulk material components in the planned order or production order.
Indicator: classification as selection condition. Indicator for defining classification as a selection condition. If you select this indicator, the classification of the item is taken into account when the object is configured.You can only select this indicator if you have classified the item first (entered a class type).

This item status indicator is used to control:Subsequent processing in related application areasSelection of items in the BOM explosionWhether you can set and remove this indicator, or whether the system makes an unchangeable setting, depends on the BOM usage you selected on the initial screen. You can find further information in Customizing for bills of material under General Data -> BOM Usage -> Define BOM usages.
Material Provision Indicator. This key indicates that the item is subject to material provision. In the BOM explosion, you can use this indicator to restrict the items selected.There are two types of material provision:Material provided by a vendorMaterial provided by a customerYou can also use the material provision indicator to identify the subcontracting type for a part. The following indicators are available:Refurbishment material to SC (value S in standard SAP system)Refurbishment material from SC (value X in standard SAP system)Subsequent delivery (value F in standard SAP system)If you do not enter information in this field, the components are provided to the subcontractor as consumable materials (initial value in the standard SAP system).Material provided by a vendorThis indicator controls material requirements planning. Maintain this indicator for BOM components only if the material master record of the header material supports subcontracting (Special procurement field).The special procurement key for subcontracting means that all components of the BOM are provided free of charge to a subcontractor for further processing. The items are copied to a subcontract order.If the item is provided to a vendor, do not enter any material provision indicator.Dependent requirements are generated for this item.If the item is already at a vendor's premises and is not provided by us, do enter an indicator.No dependent requirements are generated for this item.Material provided by a customerThis indicator is not currently active. Maximum length: 1.
Net Scrap Indicator. This indicator determines whether scrap for the component is calculated on the basis of the net required quantity (the required quantity without assembly scrap from the material master record). You must set this indicator if you want assembly scrap to be ignored.You must set this indicator if you enter operation scrap.You can set this indicator if you only enter component scrap, to calculate scrap on the basis of the net required quantity for the assembly.Bill of material:Assembly MAT-1:Required quantity 100 piecesAssembly scrap 2%Component MAT-2:Component quantity 100 piecesDepending on the applicable scrap and the net indicator, the following 6 quantities are required for component MAT-2 for a required quantity of 100 pieces of MAT-1:1 2 3 4 5 6 Comp 5% - 5% 5% - -Op. 6% 6% - - - -Net ind X X X - - X---------------------------------------------------------------------Qty 11130 10600 10500 10710 10200 10000KeyComp Component scrapOp.

Indicator: item relevant to production. Indicates that the item is relevant to the production process. Items with this indicator are copied to the planned order, and the system calculates dependent requirements for them. When the planned order is converted to a production order, the system automatically copies these items to the production order.This item status indicator is used to control:Subsequent processing in related application areasSelection of items in the BOM explosionWhether you can set and remove this indicator, or whether the system makes an unchangeable setting, depends on the BOM usage you selected on the initial screen. You can find further information in Customizing for bills of material under General Data -> BOM Usage -> Define BOM usages.
Indicator: sub-items exist. Indicator: this BOM item has sub-items. Sub-items do not have an operational significance and changes arenot stored with history.
UTC Time Stamp in Long Form (YYYYMMDDhhmmssmmmuuun). The UTC timestamp displays date and time according to UTC (Universal Coordinated Time). In order to convert local time into a UTC time stamp, which makes it easier to compare times, the local time must be converted according to your time zone. The ABAP command convert is available for this purpose.Even if the time zone that the conversion is based on can be redetermined from Customizing or master data, we still recommend that you save the time zone.The internal structure of the high-resolution UTC time stamp is logically organized in date and time sections in a packed decimal format (YYYYMMDDhhmmssmmmuuun), which depicts the year, month, day, hour,second, millisecond, microsecond and the first decimal of the nanoseconds. Please note that the hardware that is normally used does not fully support a resolution of 100 nanoseconds, which is available in the structure.See also GET TIME STAMPA UTC time stamp in short form is also available.
Lead-time offset. This value shows the lead-time offset (in workdays) for the component in relation to the start date for production of the superior assembly. This value is not included in lead-time scheduling for a task list.You can enter:A positive number of daysThe component is not required until after the start date.A negative number of daysThe component is required before the start date.Assembly AS-11 (start date 05/13/1998):Component Lead-time offset Finish dateM-01 2+ 05/15/1998M-02 2- 05/11/1998M-03 0 05/13/1998Component M-01 is not required until 2 days after the start date for the superior assembly.Component M-02 is required 2 days before the start date for the superior assembly, so the finish date for this component is 05/11/1998.The lead-time offset for component M-03 is 0, so the start date for the superior assembly is the same as the finish date for this component.Note:This information does not tell you the start date for the components, because the data required (such as in-house production time, processing time, or interoperation time) is not shown.
Material Number. Alphanumeric key uniquely identifying the material. Maximum length: 40.
Price. Amount for non-stock item, which is used when costing the end or intermediate product for pricing purposes.

Indicator: co-product. Indicator showing that the item is a co-product. Enter a negative quantity.Example: 6- You can only enter an item as a co-product if:The material master (MRP 2 view) contains the Material can be a co-product indicator. (For some material types, such as raw materials for example, the co-product indicator is hidden in the standard SAP system.)You enter the item as a stock item.
Price unit. Number of units to which the price refers. If 10 gallons of gasoline cost $12.00, the price unit is 10.
Multiple Selection Allowed. This indicator influences the status of a configuration in cases where a class item has been replaced by more than one object. Only if the configuration scenario allows manual changes to the BOM (order BOM or sales order with manual changes) can a class item be temporarily replaced by more than one object. However, before you save, the selection must be restricted to one object by using a manual object search. If you leave the configuration while the class item is still replaced by more than one object, only the first object is saved or transferred to the calling application. The "Multiple Selection" indicator has the following effect in interactive configuration: the configuration is still consistent if the class item has been replaced by more than one object. Without this indicator, the configuration is inconsistent if the class item has been replaced by more than one object. In low-level configuration (MRP, for example), only one object is used to replace the class, whether or not the "Multiple Selection" indicator is set.
Number of variable-size items. Number of variable-size items required for the assembly .
Object type (BOM item). Key which assigns the BOM item to a group of objects which have basic features in common, such as material or document. Via settings in Customizing (Bill of mat. -> Item data), you can define a language-dependent abbreviation which the system displays on the General item overview screen. Maximum length: 1.
Lead-time offset for operation. Time that the component lead-time offset states with reference to the start date of the allocated operation. (In the Project System read activity for operation.)The following areas evaluate the operation related lead-time offset:Plant maintenance ordersNetworksProduction ordersProcess ordersMaintain the following times dependently of the +/- sign:Lead-time offset - positive valueComponent can be available after the operation start dateLead time - negative valueComponent must be available before the operation start dateOperation start date 0010: 05.13.1998, 9 a.m.Operation start date 0020: 05.14.1998, 2 p.m.---------------------------------------------------------Component Operation Lead-time offset (h) End dateM-01 0010 2+ 05.13.1998, 11 a.m.M-02 0020 2- 05.14.1998, 12 a.m.The component M-01 does not have to be available until 2 hours after the start time of the allocated operation 0010.Because the component M-02 must be available 2 hours before the start time of the allocated operation, the end time is 12 a.m.
Operation Scrap. Scrap that is expected in one operation for the quantity of a component to be processed. This entry is used to override the assembly scrap for materials of high value.If operation scrap is maintained, you avoid the situation whereby too much of the material is planned in MRP for the components of subsequent operations.If you make an entry for operation scrap, you must also select the operation scrap net indicator (Net field).You can find examples of scrap under net scrap.
Unit for lead-time offset for operation. Maximum length: 3.
Plant. Key uniquely identifying a plant. Maximum length: 4.
Issue location for production order. Number of the issue location from which the material is issued during the production process. Backflush is posted to this issue location if required. In production, first there is a check as to whether an issue location is entered in the BOM item.If there is an issue location in the BOM item, this issue location is copied to the production order as a default value. Otherwise, the issue location is copied from the material master record (in the plant in which you created the BOM).This indicator is only supported for items that are relevant to production and plant maintenance.You cannot enter an issue location for a bulk material. Maximum length: 4.
Production Supply Area. The production supply area (PSA) serves as a place for interim storage on the shop floor and is used to make material directly available for production purposes. The PSA is used in Kanban and JIT Outbound processing and in Extended Warehouse Management. Maximum length: 10.
Purchasing Group. Key for a buyer or a group of buyers, who is/are responsible for certain purchasing activities. Internally, the purchasing group is responsible for the procurement of a material or a class of materials.Externally, it is the medium through which contacts with the vendor are maintained. Maximum length: 3.
Purchasing Organization. Denotes the purchasing organization. Maximum length: 4.
Quantity of variable-size item. Quantity of variable-size item, which the system calculates from the sizes entered. If you wish you can enter a variable-size item formula for the. calculation. The quantity of the variable-size item shown is per piece (PC)If you change a field that affects the calculation of the variable-size item quantity (for example, size or formula), the system only recalculates the quantity if you delete the existing quantity first.To do this, delete the contents of the Qty Var-sz item field.Size 1: 200Size 2: 300Size unit of measure: MMVariable size item unit: SQMCalculation of variable-size item quantity:A = Size 1 * Size 2A = 200 MM * 300 MMA = 0,06 SQM--> The variable-size item quantity for each piece is: 0.06 SQMThe value calculated is required in MRP, in order to calculate the total quantity of the raw material requirement for the component.If 10 pieces are required for the component, the variable-size item quantity is: 10 * 0.06 SQM = 0.6 SQM.
Reference point for BOM transfer. Creates a logical link between BOM items and network activities. Maximum length: 20.
The remote state of the entity. Remote state refers to the last known state of the entity on the remote system from which it has been retrieved or to which it has been posted. It is stored as map, where the keys are stored in the format of VDM properties.
Required Component. If this class is used as a class item in a configurable object, this setting has the following effect in interactive configuration: the configuration is incomplete until the class item has been replaced by an object. In low-level configuration (MRP, for example), the "Required component" indicator has no further effects.
Resulting item category. Categorization of class items according to the object type linked to the class type. This categorization allows you to process data that is relevant to BOM items for all objects allocated to the class. For example, you control field selection and special system activities when you select the resulting item category.The class type determines which resulting item category you can select:If the class type is linked to the material master, you can select one of the following resulting item categories:stock itemnon-stock itemvariable-size itemPM structure elementIf the class type is linked to documents, you can enter document item as the resulting item category. Maximum length: 1.
