Hi Friends ,

I need to know is there way after i excecute CS20 transaction i can display only active BOMs . Is this possible ? Because right now it displays both active and inactive BOMs.

Thanks ,

I thought entering the date in VALID FROM will give you only the BOMs that are valid for that date. Are you using ECN?

Yes . I am using the ECN. Whenever a new material is added or changed . The end user does not want to see the active and inactive BOMs . To save time going through all the active and Inactive BOMs the user wants to see only Active BOMs . I would appreciate if you could give me your views on this topic .

Thanks again

Then in that case, enter current date into the VALID FROM field and you should get only the active BOMs. But again this depends on how you control the BOMs. If you just change the BOM header status to 'Active' or 'Inactive' without actually changing the validity dates, then I don't think you can do anything but see all of them.

Hi Srinivas ,

Thanks again for your valuable inputs . I will definitely get in touch with the user and see how it works.

Also does this simple problem require coding a user exit like EXIT_SAPMC29M_001 to display only the active BOMs . Thats only an option.

Thanks

Hi Srinivas ,

I just found out that the user does not enter the VALID FROM date . All that is entered into the selection criteria is Material , Usage , Change Number , Plant .

Will entering VALID FROM date help solve the problem of seeing only the active BOMs .

Thanks
