Question 4085 : Item Status in the BOM item Detail

In SAP PP as at S/4 1909, note the "Item Status" in the BOM item detail below ?

Which of the following parameter controls the above settings ?

(only one answer)

A) Plant + BOM Usage
B) BOM Alternative
C) BOM Group
D) BOM Usage
E) Plant
.

Answer: D

The "BOM Usage" is used to control the "Item Status" in the BOM item detail, Configuration of the "BOM Usage" is in the 2nd screen shot below (IMG - Production - Basic Data - Bill of Material - General Data - BOM Usage - Define BOM Usages) and note the the configuration is Plant independent which means that when creating the BOM for any Plant will use the same set of "BOM Usage" configuration parameters. 

In SAP, the Item Status in a Material BOM controls its usability across different function in a company (like Production or PPDI or PPPI, Sales or SD, Costing or CO, Plant Maintenance or PM), determining if the BOM item is active, inactive, or requires special handling, ensuring only relevant components are used in specific processes in PP, SD, CO, and PM.
