Change BOM via IDOC

[Former Member]

Dear guru,

We would greatly appreciate some guidance because we are not expert in IDOC transfer. Basically we would like to change BOM using IDOC technique.

We already create BOM with IDOC BOMMAT03 using the FM IDOC_INBOUND_SYNCHRONOUS; below is an IDOC sample. We have tried to edit one IDOC in WE19 and change MSGFN from 009 to 004 but when we execute the FM IDOC_INPUT_BOMMAT the system is adding a BOM item while we just want to change the quantity of an existing BOM item (for instance we have change the quantity in E1STPOM).

Is it feasible to change Existing BOM via IDOC and BOMMAT03 ie. change BOM item qty, add BOM item, delete BOM item?

What should be the structure of the IDOC for a change (I hope we do not have to perform a delete first and then recreate)? I have seen that BOMMAT05 exists for 4.7 would that make a difference?

Thank you in advance for any tips or documentation.

Regards, Francois Paquet

Hello, sadly this did not help, using MSGFN 005 (and 009 both) just ignored the idoc entirely without changing the quantities. 004 adds new entries to STPO instead of updating. Do you have some more information on this, should only specific segments be set to a different MSGFN?
Best Regards
