Definition

This character string groups together items in a BOM.

Use

If you make item changes with a change number that has an effectivity type (such as serial number range), you can group these change statuses together into one logical unit.

Procedure

Enter the same character string for all items of the item group.

If you define a template for item groups in Customizing for BOMs (modification parameters), the item group must conform to the template.

Examples

The following data groups together three change statuses of item 0010 (material component M-1):

  • Item group: SER-010
  • Item variant: 01

Item    Item group        Variant        Serial number range

0010    SER-010        01        1-100

0010    SER-010        01        101-500 <==

0010    SER-010        01        501-1000

If you enter the value 200 for the serial number in the BOM explosion, the change status of the item that is valid in range 101-500 is chosen.

Dependencies

You enter an item variant to define how the items in an item group are interpreted.

  • Same item variant in an item group

    Several change statuses form one unit (see example).

    When you explode the BOM, one change status of the item is found, on the basis of the validity you defined (for example, the valid-from date you entered).

  • Different item variants

    Each item variant is read separately: the change statuses do not form a unit.

    Different item variants within an item group are currently for information only.
