Defining User-Specific Settings in the BOM Menu
You can define user-specific default values in the SAP Easy Access menu as well as in the initial screen of the BOM processing functions. The system saves only one default value per user and per field.

In the entry screen for BOM processing functions you can enter user-specific default values via the Settings menu. Some settings are not relevant to all BOM categories (for example, Material provision indicator).
To Update User-Specific Settings in the Menu:
Choose Settings, then one of the following functions. Save each setting you define.
In this field, you enter the default value for the material provision indicator. These values were defined when you configured your system.
You can define a default value for material items, document items, and class items. The system checks the object linked to the item. For material items, for example, you cannot enter the default item category Document item.
In the standard R/3 System, there is only one item category for document items and only one item category for class items (Document item – D and Class item – K).
This indicator defines an item as a PM assembly and is only relevant to plant maintenance BOMs. This indicator is displayed on the Status/long text detail screen of plant maintenance BOMs.
In this field, you enter the default value for the item increment. When you maintain a BOM, the system increases the item number step by step by this amount.
