BOM transfer through ALE: problem with phantom assemblies

rudy_schmitz — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 06:27:08 GMT

Hello SAP experts,

We have configured BOM transfer from one ERP platform to another ERP platform (kernel 701 on both sides), using standard BOMMAT message type.

It works pretty good, but the phantom assemblies are not transferred.

In fact, they are replaced by their own sub-components, which is not bad, but we would like to get the exact replication, WITH the phantom assemblies.

In WE02, I checked what is sent and what is received on both platforms, and it seems that the "problem" already occurs on the sending platform: in the Idoc, I can't see that the phantom component, but directly its sub-components.

Is it a problem with transaction BD30? Or is it a customizing problem/lack?

Thanks in advance for your help on this subject.

Regards,

Rudy

Hi Rudy,

please debug the outbound function module to verify that the phantom assemblies are being picked otherwise need enhance the FM.

Hello Suresh!

Sorry for my (very) late reply...

In fact, there was an enhancement defined by another IT team that was doing this phantom replacement.

To solve it, I just added a condition about the target system of the Idoc, so that the process is applied or not.

Now, it works correctly!

Thanks a lot for your help!

Regards,

Rudy
