The following information in the BOM header is relevant for costing:

Determines whether the BOM is relevant for costing.

When you create a BOM, enter the BOM usage in the initial screen. You can enter the BOM usage as a default for the costing selection in the costing view of the material master record. The BOM usage is a selection criterion for the automatic alternative determination.

The validity period of the BOM determines whether the BOM can be selected for costing. The BOM must be valid at the quantity structure date of the cost estimate.

If you create a BOM, specify the validity period in the initial screen.

To check the validity period, select  Goto Header Administrative data

You use the BOM status to determine whether a BOM can be used in a certain work area (in this case, the cost estimate). The BOM status is proposed through the control data in Customizing for Production. The BOM status is a selection criterion for the automatic BOM determination.

To check the BOM status, choose  Goto Header Full .

The alternative BOM identifies a BOM within a BOM group (multiple BOM, variant BOM). You can enter the alternative BOM as a default for the quantity structure determination in the costing view of the material master record.

To check the number of the alternative, choose  Goto Header Full.

Multiple BOMs are groups of BOMs that describe different alternative combinations of materials (alternatives) for the same product. If different lot size ranges are represented by different alternative BOMs, you select the BOM to be costed using the costing lot size.

To check the lot size range for an alternative BOM, choose  Goto Header Quantities/long text .
