To maintain the initial screen for displaying a BOM group:

  1. Choose Material BOM ® BOM group ® Display.

    2. You see the initial screen of the Display BOM group function.

    – If a user parameter for the Usage field is defined as a default value in your user master record, the system enters either this default value or the last value entered.

    – In the standard R/3 System, today's date is the default value for the Valid from and Valid to fields.

    In Customizing for Production, you can define that the system low date is the default valid-from and valid-to date for BOMs (01.01.1900) instead of the current date, by choosing Bill of Material ® Control Data for Bills of Material ® Define modification parameters.

  2. In the Plant field, enter the plant in which you want to display the BOM group. If you want to display a BOM group for an entire group, do not enter a plant.
  3. To identify the BOM group further, you have two options:

    4. Either enter the name of the BOM group in the BOM group field or enter the material and usage.

    If you make an entry in the BOM group field, the system ignores any entries you make for the Material and Usage.

  4. In the Validity dataset, define the validity period for which you want to display the BOM group.
  5. Confirm your entries.

The system makes a series of checks. For example, the system checks whether the BOM is valid in the plant you entered.

If no items are valid in the validity period you entered, you see the following message:

No items valid on <valid-from date>
