History Requirement for BOMs

Use

You use the history requirement to determine that BOMs can only be processed with a change number.

Prerequisites

In Customizing for Production, you define the history requirement settings under:

Bill of Material ® Control Data ® Define modification parameters

Bill of Material ® General Data ® Define history requirement for BOMs

Features

History Requirement for New BOMs

In the modification parameters, you define when a BOM that you are creating is subject to history requirement.

BOM ® Create

All BOMs must be created with a change number. This setting overrides the settings for a BOM group.

Creating a BOM in a BOM group

Create variant (variant BOM)
Create alternative (multiple BOM)

All new variants and alternatives must be created with a change number. In the modification parameters in Customizing, you can define when a BOM group is subject to history requirement.

History Requirement for New Variants and Alternatives

In the modification parameters in Customizing, you can define when new BOMs in a BOM group (variant BOM or multiple BOM) are subject to history requirement.

History Requirement for BOM Maintenance

In Customizing, you can define under General Data that all BOMs with at least a certain status are subject to history requirement. You define this setting for each BOM usage.

Activities

If you want to create or process a BOM in a situation where the BOM is subject to history requirement, you must enter a change number.

If you have special authorization, you can change a BOM that is subject to history requirement without entering a change number ( Authorization object C_STUE_NOH).
