Hi All,
I have requirement as follows –
Material XYZ is having a BOM. XYZ is neither manufactured nor purchased. It is just like a kit of some individual parts. It contains around 40-50 parts. Let’s say parts are A1, A2…… A50. So there are 50 parts in BOM of XYZ. Some of them are manufactured in house & others are purchased.
In sales order, the individual parts A1, A2…….A50 are entered & shipped out at the time of delivery.
In production plan (MD61), we are entering these parts A1 to A50 individually. So when these parts are shipped out the reduction of PIRs happen automatically.
But since I have many parts which are similar to XYZ, and the BOM can have much more parts than 50 in it. So production plan (demand management – MD61 / MD62 / MD63) with such huge no of parts is bit cumbersome.
So is there any way that I enter the demand (PIR) of XYZ instead of individual parts to reduce data maintenance work. In sales order I will still enter the parts individually, in SO this can happen automatically that if XYZ is entered due to item category control XYZ is exploded to 1 level & it BOM parts appear in SO.
But then in shipment / delivery of individual parts the PIR entered at parent item level (XYZ) should get consumed / reduced. Will this be possible in some way ?
Please note that XYZ is neither manufactured nor purchased. It is just like a kit / bundle of some individual parts.
Regards,
MHP
