Question no 3889 : BOM Categories

In SAP PP as at ECC6.0 EhP6, which of the following are valid BOM Categories ?

(more than one answers)

A)  WBS BOM.
B)  Order BOM.
C)  Document Structure.
D)  Equipment BOM.
E)  Functional Location BOM.
.

Answers: A, B, C, D, E

All of the above.

(T-code CS71) WBS BOM or "Work Breakdown Structure " BOM is created with the Project System WBS as the Header of the BOM. The Production Lot is usually an Engineering to Order scenario for a Project and the result is Goods Receipt of the MTO Production Order into special stock with WBS identifier.

Order BOM or "Sales Order BOM" is also a case of MTO scenario with the Sales Order + Order line item as the Header of the BOM. This can result from the "MTO" Manufacturing Strategy in the MRP 3 data view in the Material Master resulting in the Sales Order item tagged with a specific Requirement Type which specifies it to be a MTO Sales Order. 

MRP run recognizes both the WBS BOM and Order BOM as both the header also has a Material Master (other than WBS and Sales Order number).

(T-code CV11) Document Structure comes with the Header and BOM Items all with Document numbers from the DMS system. The purpose is merely to bring related Documents into a Group as a Hierarchy structure. 

(T-code IB11) Functional Location BOM and (T-code IB01) Equipment BOM is used in PM (Plant Maintenance) and CS (Customer Service) with the Header being PM/CS Functional Location or Equipment Respectively. There are no Material Master in the Header BOM, although the BOM items can be Material Masters just like a standard Material BOM or WBS BOM or Order BOM. Standard MRP run as at ECC6 EhP6 does not recognized BOM explosion in the MRP run processing.

Question no 3888 : Not allowed in BOM

In SAP PP as at ECC6.0 EhP6, which of the following are possible reasons why a Material are not allowed in a BOM ?

(more than one answers)

A)  Material Type of the Material entered not allowed.
B)  Material was not created with a Work Scheduling data view.
C)  Material Status in the Material Master.
D)  Material Group of the Material entered not allowed.
E)  Material entered does not have a Purchasing data view.
.

Answers: A, C


A) In the IMG, you have to check if the Material Type is allowed for BOM creation.

C) Material Status has indicators that do not allow BOM creation.

B) Work Scheduling view is for Production Order creation and not required as BOM item if it is a Purchasing Material.
D) In the mention version, MRP Group does not control BOM creation.
E) Purchasing view is for Procurement but not for Production and not required as BOM item if it is a Production Material.

Question no 3887 : Item Category in the BOM

In SAP PP as at ECC6.0 EhP6, which of the following is the item category in the BOM that allows either with or without Material Master entry ?

(only one answer)

A)  Item Category "L".
B)  Item Category "N".
C)  Item Category "R".
D)  Item Category "T".
E)  Item Category "V".
.

Answer: B

IMG - PM and CS - Master data in PM and CS - BOM - Item Data - Define Item Categories

(the same configuration can be found in the PP IMG)

A)  Item Category "L" set with "+" means Mandatory Material for Stock item.
B)  Item Category "N" set with "." means can be with or without Material for Non-Stock item.
C)  Item Category "R" set with "+" means Mandatory Material for Variable size Stock item.
D)  Item Category "T" set with "-" means NO Material allowed for Text item.
E)  Item Category "V" not delivered in Standard SAP at time of testing.

Question no 3886 : Negative Quantity

In SAPPP as at ECC6.0 EhP6, which of the following are indicator of a material with negative quantity in the BOM ?

(more than answers)

A)  Bulk Material.
B)  Scrap Material.
C)  By Product.
D)  Co Product.
E)  Return Material.
.

Answers: C, D

Either By Product or Co Product (but Co Product will have additional settings in the Material Master).

Both By-Product and Co-Product set with -ive Quantity in the BOM and will be Goods Receipt into Stock against the Production Order.

However: 2 main difference for Co-Product

- Setting of Co-Product indicator in Material Master MRP2 view.

- Setting for Joint-Production for Costing for Co-Product (basically Co-Product share costs distributed while By-Product is a waste and therefore is itself a costs).

A) Bulk Material setting is via indicator in Material Master or Bulk indicator in the BOM item.

B) Scrap Factor setting is via Scrap Factors in the Material, BOM item detail, or Operation detail.

E) Return Material for Production can be done by Movement type 262 (if referenced to the Production Order). 

Question no 3885 : Bulk Material

In SAP PP as at ECC6.0 EhP6, which of the following is mandatory when the Bulk Material indicator is set for a Material in a BOM ?

(only one answer)

A)  Costing is not relevant.
B)  Quantity must be negative.
C)  Quantity must be fixed.
D)  Item Category must be "N".
E)  Lot size must be periodic.
.

Answer: A

Standard SAP, Bulk Material are not costed.

A bulk material is a material component to which you have direct access at the work center (a loose material, such as grease or washers). You can enter the bulk material indicator in the material master record and the BOM item. This kind of material are usually low costs and maybe high volume. Although the material is in the BOM but it is not costed and not planned by MRP. Bulk Material maybe purchased via manual PO or Reorder Point and the materials received are usually issued directly to the Cost Centers as Indirect Material (and not issue as per Production Orders).

As at ECC6 EhP7, the BOM component with Bulk indicator is not included in the BOM Explosion during MRP run but when the Production Order is created, the Bulk indicator component is copied to the Production Order. However, this component will not have "Movement allowed" indicator even the Production Order is released. It looks like Bulk material in the Production Order is for documentation only.

The Bulk materials when received are directly Goods Issue to the Production Work Centers (not related to Production Orders). 

(for the current Bulk Material feature, make sure to check the documentations of the SAP version, as the features and functions may change over time) 

Question no 3884 : Backflush Material

In SAP PP as at ECC6.0 EhP6, which of the following setting ensure Backflush is executed for a Component assigned to a Work Center in the Routing Operation ?

(more than one answers)

A)  Backflush indicator in the Material Master MRP 2 data view.
B)  Backflush indicator in the BOM item detail.
C)  Backflush indicator in the Work Center Master.
D)  Backflush indicator in the Operation Control Key.
E)  Backflush indicator in the Material Master Work Scheduling data view.
.

Answers: A, C

A) Material Master MRP 2 data view Backflush indicator set with "depending on Work Center".
C) The Work Center Master Basic/General data view backflush indicator selected.

Question no 3883 : Material Type for Material BOM for PM

In SAP PM as at ECC6.0 EhP6, which of the following is the simplest Material Type for Material BOM used as Header BOM for PM ?

(only one answer)

A)  HALB.
B)  FERT.
C)  ROH.
D)  NLAG.
E)  IBAU.
.

ANswer: E

IBAU Material Type only require Basic view; therefore it is the simplest, no PLANT level data view for the Material Type "IBAU" ("Maintenance Assembly"). The Materials for this Material Type can be used as the Header Material of a Material BOM for structuring Spare Parts, then the IBAU Material BOM can be assigned as a Construction Type to the Equipment of Functional Location Master.
