Assigning Material Components to the Project Activities 

Use

For your turbine project, the construction department has created project bills of material (BOM) and material masters using CAD systems. To plan material costs in detail and to trigger component procurement, you assign the components to the activities for your project, using the BOM-PS Interface.

You can either handle materials in the network or you can assign them dynamically using the BOM PS interface. The latter has the advantage that you can process the project and the BOM separately. If, due to order-specific adjustments, for example, the engineering/design department needs to update the BOM, you can copy these changes to your project by using BOM transfer functionality.

For more information on BOM transfer, see the SAP Library under:

Logistics ® Project System ® Material ® BOM Transfer

Prerequisites

The system contains a BOM for material T-20000.

Identical reference points are maintained in the BOM and for the network activities.

Result

You have assigned material components to different activities in your turbine project. The system automatically creates reservations for the material components.
