BOM Usage

You can define indicators that describe the item status as required fields or optional fields, or excluded from processing in certain organizational areas.

Note

You can use these indicators to restrict the selection of items for BOM explosion.

The item contains technical data that is important for development and design.

The item contains data that is important for the production of the assembly. For this reason, items with this indicator are copied to the planned order. The system determines dependent requirements for these items. You can maintain an Issue location for items that have this indicator.

The item contains data that is important for plant maintenance tasks. This indicator is used in plant maintenance BOMs (material BOMs that are relevant to plant maintenance, equipment BOMs, and functional location BOMs).

You can maintain an additional field for the item (PM assembly indicator on the Detail Screen: Status/long text).

This indicator identifies the item as a spare part for the product.

In Customizing for Production, you define the spare part indicators by choosing Bill of Material ® Item Data ® Define spare part indicators.

You can allocate spare parts to different spare part indicators according to your own criteria. You could, for example, use the machine runtime between replacement of parts as a criterion.

Example

Spare part indicator A is for spare parts which must be replaced after a machine runtime of 100 hours.

Spare part indicator B is for spare parts which must be replaced after a machine runtime of 500 hours.

The item is relevant to sales orders. When you explode the BOM in a sales order, you only see the items for which this indicator is set.

You use this key to define whether and to what extent the item is used in product costing. Planned manufacturing costs and the cost of goods sold can be determined from this and predefined costing variants, and saved as cost components.
