Order BOM Editing (SAP Library - Order BOMs (PP-BD-BOM))

Order BOM Editing

Use

With this function you change a non-configurable order BOM.

Prerequisites

You have fixed a material BOM or manually created an order BOM.

The same prerequisites apply here, as for editing material BOMs. You can find further information in the Bills of Material documentation in Before you Change a BOM.

You can change an order BOM with this function, if you either created it for a non-configurable material, or if the system saved the order BOM as result-oriented in variant configuration.

Features

If you enter the order-specific components in an order BOM, you work as you would when editing a material BOM.

You can extend an order BOM, by transferring items from an existing order BOM or material BOM.

Note

It is not possible to transfer items from a configurable BOM.

More than one person can edit different assemblies in a multi-level BOM at the same time. A single assembly can, however, only be edited by one person at a time. This assembly is then locked to other users, until it is saved.

The following restrictions apply to order BOMs:

A result-oriented order BOM is non-configurable. Therefore, you cannot create class items in these bills of material either.

You can’t create alternative BOMs for an order BOM.

You can’t create variant BOMs for an order BOM.

When you change an order BOM, you can work with change numbers, but not with revision levels.

Note

Click This graphic is explained in the accompanying text when you have finished editing an order BOM, so the system determines the newly current components in the order BOM.
