Wrong ECM version and Explosion Date in Process Order created by the same Planned Order

[enrico_andreoli]

Hi everyone, I have a problem related to Process Order and ECM, or something similar.

I have two PO (1000026205 and 1000026206) for the same material, created from the same planned order:

Except for the quantity, the orders are perfectly the same.

Each order has two operations: 10 and 20.

This is the first (correct) one:

And this is the second (wrong) one:

As you can see, in the last one SAP gets and older ECM so I have “older” data inside my process order.

I’ve noticed maybe the “cause” of the problem, but I don’t know how to solve it. I think that is the Explosion Date:

This is the right order:

And this is the wrong one:

How is that possible? Same planned order, same material, orders created one after the other. ECM release many months before (in April, and now we are in semptember).

Any help?

Hi,

it's happening again. Any tips?

Hi thanabodee.chitapunya,

I've checked the sales order but i've found no information about the BOM explosion number (I've looked in VBAP).

You're right, you cannot change the explosion date inside the planned order but you can change the start/end date and - I've checked - this will accordingly change the explosion date when you convert it into Process Order.

Hi Patrick.

Both the orders are already printed and closed, I've come through this problem because the user has reported a wrong data in the printout and so, after many researches I've found that the source of the mistery is the BOM explosion date.

So, I can't read the BOM again. This is just the second case I have in years (or at least the second reported) but in our business it causes a lot of problem because the explosion date determines the BOM version and so the components etc...

Do you know if, except for the manual change of the explosion date inside the planned order, is there a way to manipulate it?

The user swears that he hasn't changed the date and, even if I never trust users as first rule, in this case I have to because nobody open the planned order, they just concert it from MD04.

Anyway, the first is wrong and second is right..so the planned order maybe was born "wrong".

Thanks for your time.

Hi Enrico

Another Question .

How many line items in sale order and are there have BOM exposion number assigned to sale items ? .

If BOM explosion number is assigned to sale item , the fix key date of bom explosion number overwrites explosion date.

By the way , You cannot change BOM explosion date in planned order .

Hi Enrico

This is so weird because explosion date should be planned order start date or base on BOM explosion control by plant or MRP grp in configuration(SPRO) . Have you ever tried to read master production data agian ? Is it changed? . There have many factors to consider.

Hi thanabodee.chitapunya,

unfortunately it has already been converted into Process Order so I can't.

Is there anything else I can share?
