Renaming Non-Stock BOM Components in Sales BOM (Usage:5) – Text Fields Not Propagating to Orders

[QinDongqiang]

In the SD module, we use BOM Update (Version 2) to maintain set products with BOM Usage: 5 (Sales Management). There’s a requirement to modify the component names of non-stock items within the BOM structure. (Example: A component is normally named "Hose A" in the master data but needs to display as "Hose B" within the set product.) We noticed the BOM details include fields like "Detail Text" (明細テキスト) and "Detail Text 2" (明細テキスト2). However, even after populating these fields, sales orders still show the original material name. Questions: 1.Are these text fields incompatible with BOM Usage 5 (Sales Management)? 2.Is there an additional configuration needed to ensure the custom names appear in sales documents?

Hello, You're encountering a common issue when trying to customize component names within a sales BOM (BOM Usage 5) in SAP SD. Let's break down the problem and potential solutions. Understanding the Problem BOM Usage 5 (Sales Management): This usage is specifically designed to control how BOM components are presented and handled within sales documents. Its focus is on sales-related aspects, not necessarily comprehensive material master overrides. "Detail Text" and "Detail Text 2": These fields in the BOM item details are intended for adding supplementary textual information related to the component. They are often used for internal notes or additional descriptions, but they don't directly replace the material name in sales documents. Sales Document Display: The standard sales document logic primarily pulls the material description from the material master.    sunpass login
