 Copying a BOM Level by Level Locate this document in the navigation structure

Procedure

You are on the Order BOM: Initial Screen screen.

  1. Enter the sales order number and the sales order item of the source order , that is to say, the sales order, whose BOM you want to copy.

  1. Select   Goto   Copy level-by-level   .

The Copy level-by-level dialog box appears.

  1. In the group box Source order enter the header material of the assembly that you want to copy.

If you want to copy the entire multi-level BOM for the sales order item, you can leave the Material field empty.

  1. In the group box Target order enter the sales order number and item.

If you enter a change number here, then the system creates all order BOMs in the target order with reference to this change number.

  1. Determine the options for the multi-level copy.

With the Material exchange option, you determine whether a material master record replaced in the source order has to be replaced again in the target order. If you:

  • set the indicator, the system checks whether material master records exist in the source order that were created in the order browser with the function Material exchange . If that is the case, then in turn the system creates new material master records for these materials in the target order.

For example, this is useful if you assign sales order specific material numbers during the material exchange.

  • do not set the indicator the system uses the unchanged material number from the source order.

  1. Click  ( ) .

The system starts the copying process.

Result

After copying, the system displays a list of the copied order BOMs.

Note Note

If one or more order BOMs could not be copied, then the system displays a list of these order BOMs aswell. For example, this can be the case if an order BOM is locked by another person who is currently processing it.

End of the note.

Now the target order is displayed in the order browser.
