BAPI_MAT_BOM_EXISTENCE_CHECK

[Former Member]

hi i am using the following code.

loop at i_marc.

clear i_return.

refresh i_return.

CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_MAT_BOM_EXISTENCE_CHECK'

EXPORTING

MATERIAL = i_marc-matnr

PLANT = i_marc-werks

BOMUSAGE = '1'

• VALID_FROM_DATE =

• VALID_TO_DATE =

• MATERIAL_EVG =

TABLES

RETURN = i_return

.

if i_return[] is initial.

i_marc2-werks = i_marc-werks.

i_marc2-matnr = i_marc-matnr.

append i_marc2.

clear i_marc2.

endif.

what does it mean by

BOMUSAGE = '1' ??

i am looking for data in all levels, is it that, it is restricting only for 1 level,

or what is BOM usage.

please help.

thanks.

Please have a look at the domain of BOM_USAGE. That's STLAN, it's value table is T416 and the values:

Usage Usage text

1 Production

2 Engineering/design

3 Universal

4 Plant maintenance

5 Sales and distribution

6 Costing

Each BOM is created with one of these usages. When retreiving a BOM, the BOM usage is an input parameter.
