Archiving PP-BOMs (PP-BD-BOM)

Definition

Archiving object CS_BOM for archiving of BOMs in component Production Planning and Control (PP).

Use

You can set a deletion flag for BOMs that you no longer require on the Header Data screen.

After the archiving run, you can delete the archived BOMs.

BOMs are archived by the archiving object CS_BOM and deleted. The BOMs can be identified by the following data:

BOM category (for example, material BOM)

Use (for example, production)

Plant (such as 0001)

BOM number

Alternative BOM

BOM groups

A BOM group comprises several BOMs that are identified by one internal BOM number.

The following BOMs make up a BOM group:

Alternatives of a multiple BOM
Variants of a variant BOM

All alternative and variant items are archived, even if an item is still used in other alternatives or variants of the BOM group.

However, the system does not delete the item being used in other BOMs in the BOM group, from the database.
