Task 2:

Create and change plant validity.

1. Assign the group BOM to plants 1000 and 1100.

a) Choose Logistics → Production → Master Data → Bills of Material → Bill of Material → Material BOM → Plant assignment → Create or use transaction code CS07.

b) Enter the material number and BOM usage = 1. Do not enter the plant in the top portion of the screen.

Enter the plant 1000 in the Assign to section and press Enter . c) Select the checkbox next to the plant and choose Save.

2. Why can you not assign it to plant 1100?

Answer: If you try to assign to plant 1100, you will receive a message:

Material T-F## is not maintained in plant 1100.

3. Go to the BOM header for plant 1000.

What is the internal BOM number? _______________

Why? _______________

a) Choose Logistics → Production → Master data → Bills of material

→ Bill of material → Material BOM → Display. or use transaction code CS03.

Choose Header .

b) The internal BOM number in plant 1000 is the same as the number you recorded earlier for the group BOM of usage production. A reference has been created. The BOM structure is saved under one number in the system.

4. Delete the plant assignment (plant 1000).

a) Change the plant assignment: Logistics → Production → Master data

→ Bills of material → Bill of material → Material BOM → Plant assignment → Change or use transaction code CS08.

b) Enter the data from the table below.

Field Value

Material T-F##

Plant <leave blank>

Usage 1

Choose Enter.

c) Display all assignments by choosing the All Assignments to BOM icon.

Select and delete the assignment to plant 1000 by choosing the Delete assignment button.

d) Go back to the Current Assignments and choose Save .

5. Create a plant -specific BOM for T-F## in plant 1000. Use the group BOM as a template. Make the following plant-specific changes:

Change the quantity of item 20 from 2 to 1.

Maintain item 20 with spare part indicator “A”

Select all of the components to copy and press the Copy icon again.

b) Make the following changes:

Change the quantity of item 20 from 2 to 1.

Maintain item 20 with spare part indicator “A”. Double-click in the item number to access the item details. Select the Status/Lng Text tab.

Enter A in the spare part indicator field.

c) Sort the BOM according to the sort string. Choose Back to return the General item Overview screen. Choose Edit → Sort → Sort by Sort string.

d) Save the BOM by choosing Save .

Task 3:
