1⟩ Explain what is the meaning of exploding a BOM?
it is the process of multiplying the requirement by the
usage quantity and recording the appropriate requirements
throughout the product tree

it is the process of multiplying the requirement by the
usage quantity and recording the appropriate requirements
throughout the product tree
First you have to do revoke Teco and then process the
order,other wise system wont allow..
According to me COGI is basically a SAP standardised system
which will tell you that what is the error in some cases it
can rectify it too.
But if the entry is done manually by MB1A, MB1B, MB1C you
have to bring back or cancell the movement or move the
stock to desired material and then refresh COGI.
In production version, we assign the BOM and ROUTING
combination. And in case of alternate BOMs , it clears which
alternative bom has to be selected automatically.
PP--> Prodction Planning mostly used for descrete type of
industries , where at the time of confirmation the output is
sure to be fixed. eg Automobile
PP- PI--> Production Planning for Process Industries , here
mostly used for the typical chemical industries , as the
Yield is not fixed due to chemical reaction yield values can
be varied to noticable extent. Eg X+Y =Z some 10 kg of X
and 1 KG of Y givs yiled that is Z of 10 Kg only.
yes we can create a production order without BOM & routing.
Change the Config in OPL8 ( order type dependent parameters)
as routing optional. But it may ask for a sales order when
we try to create order using CO01
yes you can have several alternative BOMs for a material,
only thing is you need to define every BOM with deiffrent
product structure type.
We can have any number of varaint product. It is optional
you can configurate it or at the timne of slaes order with
will be ask for features and options. Every varraint has
unique indentificatin number.
CS20 with this transaction code we can able to do Mass
changes to BOM
such as:Change Item Data
New material
Number of the material that is to be created or that is to
replace another material.
Dependencies
You can only replace a material with another material that
has the same values in the following fields:
base unit of measure
issue unit
material type
BOM IS A multilevel,
we can assign bom level by level cs11,
level 1 bom header material assembly level,
contains components which also have bom contains
level 2 bom sub assembly level
last lower level is
level 3 components level
generally we have following BOMs
1.Product Tree
2. Parent- component relationship
3. Multilevel Bill
4.Multiple Bill
5. Single Level Bill
6. Indented bill
7. Summarized parts list
8. Planning bill
9. where- used report
10. Pegging report
Product Costing :in order to observe the different cycle
times on the particular product in the bom,for the process
capability&for the costing of that particular product
SAP pp provides capabilities for planning, execution,
quality, maintenance.This integrated manufacturing solution
gives you the features and functions necessary for you to
handle:
Activity flow
Step 1. Material Creation-Finished with suitable material
type.
Step 2. Purchasing and procurement of Material
Step 3. Creation of Bills of Material
Step 4. Creation of Work center
Step 5. Creation of routing.
Step 6. Creation of Production Order
Step 7. Confirmation of production order
Step 8. Stock check
Step 9. MRP run
Step 10.Material Procurement
You can use SM12 and type in the Production order number
with * at beginning and end.say like if order number is
100234 ,type it like *100234* and execute. it will give the
list of users who are currently accessing that order
There are different scenarios in SAP PP module.
1)Make to stock
2)Make to order
3)External processing (Subcontracting)
4)Rework processing
5)Prodcution in another plant
