In this step, you define the BOM usages.
When you define a BOM usage, you define the configuration of the item status.
The item status is made up of a number of indicators in the BOM item (for example, "relevant to production", "relevant to engineering/design", and so on). The item status controls how the BOM item is processed in related application areas.
For example, the production department requires a BOM with all the items that are relevant to production. These items are first copied to the planned order. When the planned order is converted to a production order, the items are copied to the production order. The production order tells the production department which materials and assemblies it has to produce.
Note
- If bills of material already exist which have a BOM usage, you can no longer delete the BOM usage. There are also restrictions to the changes you can make to the definition of the BOM usage.
- You should only activate the indicator "Relevant to plant maintenance" for BOM usages which are to be used in plant maintenance.
Example
You can define BOM usages as shown in the following example:
BOM usg Prod. Engin. Spare PM Sales Costing
1 + . . - - .
(Production)
2 . + . - - .
(Engineering/design)
+ = You must make an entry
. = You can make an entry
- = You cannot make an entry
Here, BOM usage 1 "Production" is defined such that BOM items in BOMs with this usage
- must contain the indicator "relevant to production"
- can contain the indicators "relevant to engineering/design", "spare part" and "relevant to costing"
- cannot contain the indicators "relevant to plant maintenance" and "relevant to sales and distribution".
Default settings
In the standard SAP System, a number of BOM usages are defined.
Recommendation
Adapt the predefined BOM usages to your requirements or define new BOM usages.
Actions
- First, decide whether you want to maintain separate bills of material for the different organizational areas within your company, or whether you want to maintain bills of material to be used in several areas. Please note that, if you choose separate bills of material, the bills of material then have to be maintained separately.
- Define BOM usages according to your requirements.
