Selection Conditions for a BOM Item and Operation (SAP Library

Selection Conditions for a BOM Item and Operation

Characteristic HANDLEBAR is assigned to configurable material BIKE. Characteristic HANDLEBAR has the following values:

HANDLEBAR	Racing
	MOUNTAIN_HANDLEBAR
	STANDARD_HANDLEBAR

Each handlebar has its own component in the BOM and its own operation in the routing. A selection condition is allocated to each component and each operation. This selection condition determines which components and operations are selected for a variant.

BOM of BIKE

Item	Component	Selection condition
0010	Racing	Handlebar = ‘Racing’
0020	MOUNTAIN_HANDLEBAR	Handlebar = ‘Mountain’
0030	STANDARD_HANDLEBAR	Handlebar = ‘Standard’

Routing of BIKE

Operation	Description	Selection condition
0010	Mount Racing handlebar	Handlebar = ‘Racing’
0020	Mount Mountain handlebar	Handlebar = ‘Mountain’
0030	Mount Standard handlebar	Handlebar = ‘Standard’

Procedure

1. You create 3 selection conditions.

2. Enter the appropriate source code for each selection condition:

– Handlebar eq ‘Racing’
– Handlebar eq ‘Mountain’
– Handlebar eq ‘Standard’

3. Allocate each selection condition to the appropriate BOM component and the appropriate operation in the routing.

When you configure the bike, the correct component and operation for each value of characteristic HANDLEBAR are selected automatically.
