Sales BOMs - User Exits

[Former Member]

Are there any user-exits available for Sales BOMs to control the explosion of the BOM in certain Document Types?

I only want the BOM to explode for a specific order type.

Is this possible?

Dear Tom,

When we create any material for BOM-usage, we maintain "Item cat. Grp" as LUMF (T. Code: MM01/02 --> Tab: Sales: Sales Org.2)

Then, we create Material BOM in T. Code: CS01.

Now, when you use the Material-Code, created in MM01 as BOM-Material (i.e. Item cat. grp is LUMF), in sales order system throws error:

No item category available (Table T184 OR LUMF  )

    Message no. V1320

Diagnosis

    No item category could be determined for the combination OR LUMF  .

System Response

    The system does not allow further processing of this item.

Procedure

    Check the entries in table T184 by means of which item category
    determination is controlled.
    If you do not have the authorization to do this yourself, contact your
    system administrator.ZQT LUMF )

That means:

Maintain an entry in T. Code: VOV4

for the combination:

Sales Doc. Type + Item Cat. Grp + Item Usage + ItemCat-HgLvItm

I.e. Sales Document Types, maintained for Item Cat. Grp - LUMF, are allowed for BOM-explosion.

Tom, you might be able to get the desired effect by assigning different Item Categories to the Sales Doc Types.

If this works, please don't bother awarding me any points, I'll take a set of those Sure headphones though !
