After the orders and operations have been combined, the system determines the components to be used in the combined order.
The exploded bill of material (BOM) of the combined order is discarded. Instead, the components of the original orders are copied to the combined order. Provided the components meet certain requirements, the component quantities are cumulated. The quantities are cumulated if:
The components are stock items
The components are not variable-size items
The item categories are the same
The components do not contain descriptive texts
The short texts are the same
The batches are the same
The components are not special stock items
The components are not phantom items or assigned to phantom items
The components are not batch split components
The components have the same scrap
Note
Components with different scrap are not combined, but are taken over individually.
In the combined order, the fixed quantity indicator is set automatically for the components. You can use the customer exit MILLOC01 (function module: EXIT_SAPLMILL_OC_005 ) to adapt the component list to suit your own needs.
