Bill of Materials

The document describes extensions made to SAP's bill of material (BOM) functionality by Mascidon. A "where used" lookup was added to item masters to show an indented view of a component and its parents up to finished products. The standard BOM report was also extended to allow viewing more item information. Additional functionality includes displaying the BOM in summary form, providing an indented BOM for sales order requirements, and checking item availability based on forecasts.

Bill of Materials

Mascidon has extended the bill of material (BOM) within SAP to provide more functionality. In order to
determine where components are used, a Where Used lookup has been added to the item master. This
shows an indented view of the component, its parents, and the parents of the parent items – back to
the finished products using this component. A ‘where used’ capability is an important function within
manufacturing. For instance, if a specific type of steel coil is used to produce parts and a defect is found
in the material, the where used reporting can provide a snapshot of all possible products that could
have problems.

The indented BOM functionality within SAP has been extended. The current report is hard coded to
show the BOM and basic information. If the user wants more item information on the BOM report,
Mascidon’s extension has provided the means to review an indented BOM with as much item master
data as desired. The standard implementation has several new fields. Its underlying query can be
modified to show additional item fields.

The BOM can also be displayed in ‘Summary’ form. This shows the list of components. This is useful for
producing a parts list – i.e. swing set for your kids – 10 screws size 1, 16 screws size 2, etc.

An ‘Availability’ button on the sales screen provides an indented BOM review of the requirements for
items on the sales order – showing shortages of items and potential delays in delivery.
