BOM integration to IBP

[ydyulgerov]

Hello everyone,

I am struggling to upload BOMs from S/4HANA to IBP (time-series-based planning). The thing is that all materials have procurement type 'F' in S/4 (no in house production) and the BOM usage is '3' = 'Universal BOM'. On S/4 side I tried to load data via /IBP/ECC_INT_PDS so that only the BOMs structures are loaded into the corresponding tables in S/4 - /IBP/SOSHEAD_EXT and /IBP/SOSBOM_EXT, but again I got 0 records. On CPI side the extractors /IBP/SOURCEPRODUCTION_ATTR and /IBP/PRODUCTIONSOURCEITEM_ATTR are reading no data at all. I am not sure if something on CPI side should be adjusted or resolution of the issue is somewhere else.

Thank you very much in advance.

Julian

Hello yuliyand

Based on what you mentioned seems like those are subcontracting BOM or external contract BOMs. This type of BOMs cannot be used directly as this dont get updated in the IBP staging table in S4.But you have correctly done the needfull to update the BOM header info in the stagging table.

IBP TS planning thier is no separate subcon planning concept. So for that you need to a custom table development in S4 HANA where you should extract and update all the info related to production source header and item and then use that table as a source to update IBP MDT using CPI.

Remember that in IBP you need to model supplier as normal location and the production source header and item both need to be at the vendor location only. This is a very common requirement in IBP this days and I have used this solution in mukltiple engagements.

Let me know if you need any further inputs

HI Julian,

Only BOM Usage 1 is sent to EXT tables.

1-Production BoM

For other BoM usages, you need to have custom logic to populate the EXT tables.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Lokesh,

Thank you for your feedback.

I am not sure how the BoM usage plays role in the mapping in CPI, but from S/4 side I have only universal BoMs and all the products are externally procured. However, I added and mapped the field 'ADD_SUPPLIERS' and filtered for this field, so now at least I get the header of the BoM, where my finished good has its Source ID defined as the vendor ID and the Source Type is defined as 'U' , which is perfectly fine.

The problem is then with the components, because I cannot get them extracted and transferred to IBP. So the /IBP/PRODUCTIONSOURCEITEM_ATTR extractor does not consider the components of the BoM.

Any feedback will be highly appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.
