Choosing a BOM List (SAP Library - Engineering Change Management (LO-ECH))

Choosing a BOM List

Choosing a BOM List if Only One Management Record Exists

There is usually only one object management record for a BOM group.

If you want a different BOM to represent the entire BOM group, you can choose this BOM directly from the current BOM list.

Example

The example in the graphic below shows that the BOM in plant 0001 is also allocated to plants 0002 and 0003. The object management record exists primarily for the BOM in plant 0001. This BOM is deleted at a later date. In this case, it is useful to choose a BOM in another plant (for example, plant 0002).

To choose a management record from the BOM list:

On the object overview, select the BOM whose BOM list you want to see.

Choose Object ® BOM list (or the BOM list pushbutton).

You see a list of all the BOMs in this BOM group.

Place the cursor on the line containing the BOM that you want to use to represent all other BOMs in the BOM group. Select the BOM by double-clicking on it.

You see the object overview again. In this overview, you see the BOM you just selected and for which the management record for the entire BOM group exists.

Note

If only one management record exists for each BOM group, you see the change header, not the object overview.

Choosing a BOM if More Than One Management Record Exists

This situation is an exception.

The exceptions are explained in: Displaying a BOM Group If there is more than one management record for a BOM group, you must select one management record.

As soon as you try to edit the change master which contains at least one change object with several object management records, you see the following message:

Please check the object management records

Edit the change master record:

If you are in display mode, this message is displayed as a warning. Check the management records in the change master. If you change the change master record, you must choose one management record.

If you are in change mode, you see the Change Change Master: BOMs screen with a message displayed in the status bar. Before you can execute any function for the change master record, you must select a management record from the BOM list.

The Change Change Master: BOMs overview lists the BOM(s) that have at least one management record. These BOMs are identified by the BOM category (such as material BOM) and the internal BOM number (for example, 00003028).

Select one BOM and choose Object ® BOM list (or the BOM list pushbutton).

You see a list of all the BOMs in this BOM group. At least two of these BOMs have the Object management record exists for displayed material indicator set for them.

Place the cursor on the line containing the BOM that you want to use to represent all other BOMs in the BOM group. Select the BOM for the object management by double-clicking on it.

If only one management record exists for each BOM group, you see the change header.
If more than one management record exists for each BOM group, you see the object overview.
