How to change a BOM group:

  1. Choose Logistics ® Production ® Master data ® Bills of material ® Bill of material ® Material BOM ® BOM group ® Change.

    2. The Change BOM group initial screen appears. Initial screen.

    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.

  2. In the Plant field, enter the plant in which you want to change the BOM group. If you want to change a BOM group for an entire group, do not enter a plant.
  3. To identify the BOM group further, you have two options:
    Either enter the name of the BOM group in the BOM group field or enter the material and usage.

    4. 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 change the BOM group.

    5. If you want to change the BOM group historically, enter a change number. The system determines the valid-from date from the change master record.

  5. Confirm your entries.

    6. If your data is correct, you see the Summarized BOM screen.

  6. This screen contains all the items in the BOM group, which are valid in the validity period you entered. The system assigns each item to the alternative in which it is used.

    7. Note

    Any change you make on this screen affects all the alternatives assigned to the BOM group.

    You can, for example:

    – enter a new item

    If you enter a new item, set the indicator for the alternative for which the new item is valid.

    – change the item quantity

    In this case, the changed quantity applies to all alternatives to which the item is assigned.

    If you only want to change the item quantity for some of the alternatives that use it, create the item with the new item quantity and assign it to the alternatives concerned.

  7. If you no longer want an item to be used in one of the alternatives to which it is assigned, or you want to assign an item to an alternative in which it was not used before, change the assignment of items to alternatives.

You see the Item in alternative(s) screen, on which you can edit the Assignment field for each alternative of the BOM group.
