BOM line items deletion regarding

[bennyyalla]

Hi all,

We are creating BOM using T.Code ZCS01, Changing BOM using T.Code ZCS02. These T.codes have been created, as the BOM has to be created via Revision level associated with Change number only. For example I had a drawing consisting of 6-items with revision level Nil. Based on Drawing I had created BOM using T.Code ZCS01. Now there is a revision-"SA" (SA= Small A) in drawing and two items have been deleted. Based on revision I am deleting the two items, using T.Code ZCS02. When ever any change in BOM we use to change BOM via Revision level associated with change number.

Here my question is: Wether the procedure we are following for deleting the line item in a BOM is correct or not? If not what is the correct procedure to be followed. I will be thankful for your valuable guidance please.

Hi Raja,

The mentioned Z transactions are calling standard transaction in background. Hence it is correct.

Component change with revision level is absolutely correct. This type of scenario is being used in process industry where change in component is important. As well it should be traceable also. As per the revision level there will be a history regarding the all changes.

Hence the process is perfect.

If I execute BOM with out Revision level associated with change number and Delete the BOM line item, what will be the result, will it affect the BOM behaviour. Is this also correct procedure or not. Please clarify.

Raja,

If you have created BOM with a change number then you can able to change any details with change number only.

The main usage of Revision levels and change numbers is we can track the changes with reference to same change number.

If you have deleted any components with out revision level reference you can not track those changes in particular.

Hi Kiran,

I thank you for your valuable information, I understood from above that, Deleting BOM line item without Revision level, we cannot track those changes. that is fine. If I delete BOM line item via Revision level associated with change number, will it affect the BOM in any manner. if so, in what way it will affect.

Raja,

The procedure which you are following is absolutely correct because If you make changes to a material with reference to a change number, you can assign a revision level to specific change statuses. This allows you to process the objects later with reference to either a change number or a revision level.

You can refer below document for more understanding on Change numbers and Revision levels

Hi kiran,

I am Process Planning Engineer, Functional Core Member in PP module with only little knowledge in SAP-ERP.

We have no issues with respect to Release of Sales Order, also getting reports correctly, Ex: CS13, CS15 etc.

There were No Costing run issues, no closing of Existing orders(In-process) issue.

Our IT-Team while developing Z-reports they could not get the reports correctly, and they doubt the process of deleting BOM line item as i explained earlier is not correct procedure, rather they say that for deleting BOM line item we should not execute BOM via Revision level and say that we should delete BOM line item by executing BOM with out revision level . Because of this they say, some approxly 1600 BOMs as defective and needs to be rectified (Solution for rectification, they suggested is to Delete entire BOM and recreate a fresh), we the Process Planners could not understand that, how could then Sale order release and other BOM related functions are perfectly working. That's the issue. It will be helpful if any one clarify clearly how to overcome this ambiguity.

Can any one please clarify the above doubt wrt deleting the BOM Line item with regard to above

[kiran_kumar179]

Raja,

First find out whether without Revision level if you have deleted any BOM line item whether it is been reflecting their created Z reports you can try this in your sandbox.

I do not understand the logic behind deleting the line item through change number is not reflecting in Z report tables?

Find out the logic which tables they are referring and you can manually check the tables in both cases also.

Hi Kiran,

Our IT-Team while creating Z reports they are getting all the values wrt BOM, ie; I create one BOM with 5 items in it, next I add one more item, again I add two more items. Finally the BOM consists 8-items, upto this there is no problem. All the changes we do only via revision level associated with change number which is mandatory in our case. Now I delete one item from BOM. Here only the issue comes, when we use CS03 and go for BOM display via Revision level it shows 7 items which is correct, when we use CS03 and go for BOM display without Revision level and giving from date as ERP-implementation date(ie; initial upload date) it shows 8-items. Here comes the confusion, that which data to call from the tables. They were unable to decide and getting confused. This is the situation.

Hope you got my point.

Raja,

If you want to track and check only existing BOMs wrt change numbers then you need to refer table STAS.
