Define Material Types Allowed for BOM Item

You can define in this menu option the types supported in the creation of BOM items in relation to the BOM usage and the BOM header material type.

You can mask the entries in the fields "BOM usg", Mat type BOM h" and "Mtype BOM item", in other words you can enter an "*" (wildcard) instead of a particular usage. This then represents all the possible usages.

The SAP System checks the material type when you enter new BOM items as follows:

• The entries that are fully qualified are checked first and then the masked entries.

• Your choice of a "(not) allowed" indicator determines whether or not the entry is allowed.

Example

You can define the material types allowed in the creation of new BOM items as follows:

    --------------------------------------------------------------------

BOM Material type Material type Allowed/
usage BOM header BOM item not allowed
--------------------------------------------------------------------
1 HALB * +
1 HALB VERP -
--------------------------------------------------------------------

    * = masked (i.e. all the entries supported for a field)

Material type VERP is not allowed in the creation of BOM items (indicator -) for usage 1 "Production" and material type HALB in the BOM header. All other material types are allowed (indicator +).

Requirements

You must have edited the following menu options already:

• " Define BOM usages"

• "

• Define allowed material types for BOM header"

Default settings

All material types are allowed for the creation of BOM items for all BOM usages supplied in the standard system with all material types in the BOM header.

Recommendation

If you use the BOM usages supplied in the standard system, you can also use the default settings in this menu option.

Actions

Define the material types that are allowed for the creation of BOM items for each BOM usage as required.
