1.Master Data Configuration
1.1 Define Bill Of Materials (BOM) Usage
BACKGROUND
This configuration setting enables one to define Bill Of
Material (BOM) usage.
BOM usage defines the usage of BOM in a specific application
area in SAP.
Example, there can be a separate BOMs for
Design,
Production
Costing.
In this way, each area is dealing only with the specific data it
requires.
Example:
The design BOM includes all the components of the
product and their technical data from the design point of
view. This BOM is generally not linked to any order.
The production BOM contains all the items required from
the production and assembly point of view. Only items
relevant to production, for which production data (such
as the issue storage location) can be entered, are
required. A production BOM does not contain any
packaging materials required in the shipping department.
SCENARIO
Create new BOM usage.
Note:-
Standard BOM usage available with SAP is sufficient. However
any new BOM usage can be created.
INSTRUCTIONS
Follow the Menu Path: IMG Production Basic data Bill
of materials General data BOM Usage Define BOM
Usage
1. Click
2. Click
3. Enter usage value; it can be either numeric or alphabet.
It is suggested to be numeric.
4. Select +,- or . to indicate to which area this BOM is
meant for like Production, Engineering, Spare, Plant
Maintenance, Sales or for costing relevancy.
Note:-Based on this, during BOM explosion, entire
dependent requirements are also planned,
5. Enter Usage text
6. Click Save
Impact of this configuration in Master Data /
Transaction
When creating the BOM, key defined here will appear in the
BOM Usage field.
According to the requirement, BOM usage key has to be
selected during BOM Creation.
Click Match code or F4 in BOM usage field, to select the
desired BOM usage.
Transaction code to create BOM is CS01
1.2 Define BOM Status
BACKGROUND
This configuration setting enables to define BOM status.
BOM status is used to define whether the BOM can be used by
any application area or not.
Example: -
In the costing areas in a company, the BOM is exploded
according to the application. While defining the BOM
status, usage in costing area will be defined.
In MRP, the following indicators are checked directly from
the definition of the BOM status:
- Explosion in MRP
- Released for orders
MRP only reads BOMs whose BOM status has at least one of
these indicators.
BOM status defines whether
The BOM is active or inactive.
SCENARIO
BOM need to be created for certain for product whose BOM
can be finalized only after some trial and error.
While it is in preparation it is required not to be used by any
application. Status In preparation has to be created.
INSTRUCTIONS

2. Click
3. Enter usage value as 2.
4. Leave all the check box EMPTY, i.e. do not tick any check
box.
5. Mention description as In preparation
6. Click Save .
Impact of this configuration in Master Data /
Transaction
BOM with status 2 can not be used for any application.
1.3 Define Item Category
BACKGROUND
This configuration setting enables to define item category.
The item category defines the attributes and functions of a
BOM item. It controls field and screen selection for detail
screens in BOM maintenance.
BOM can contain different type of items related to
manufacture the finished product. There are
Pipeline items i.e. items which are received
through a pipeline from supplier not related to
inventory
Stock items i.e. materials are always issued from
stock which are relate to inventory
Document item i.e. Documents are referred in the
BOM as a item trough the Document Management
System (DMS)
Text item i.e. brief note about the material usage
can be maintained as a Text item. This will be
useful in a long BOM to indicate any specific
assembly.
The above different items are defined through item category in
the BOM.
SCENARIO
Define item category.
Example:- An Item code may be defined as a normal item in
the material master. The same item code for one specific BOM
has to be treated as a phantom material.
In such a situation, item category inside the item detail of the
BOM will be mentioned as a phantom assembly. It is now
applicable only to this BOM.
Lets look at the standard setting for item category.
Item categories defined by SAP will be sufficient in most of the
cases. If required, any new item category can be created.

BOM or not? This is required
to indicate the by product.
SubI To indicate sub items are
supported.
Item Ctrl Sequence of Item detail
screen.
4. Select check boxes according to the business
requirement
5. Mention Item category Text
6. Click Save .
Impact of this configuration in Master Data /
Transaction
While creating the BOM, required item category can be
selected.
1.4 Define Application
BACKGROUND
This configuration setting enables to define BOM Application.
BOM application controls use of BOM in a specific area.
Example:- MRP run and cost estimate calculation will use the
BOM of its own respective BOM application.
SCENARIO
BOM display at multiple levels (transaction code CS12) can be
done for different BOM application. It is required to display
only the costing BOM to certain users. Separate BOM
application to be created to display the BOM related only to
costing.
Note: - BOM with usage for costing should be available. i.e.
with the right usage for costing.
INSTRUCTIONS

3. Click Save .
Impact of this configuration in Master Data /
Transaction
When displaying the BOM through transaction code CS12,
Right BOM usage will be displayed according to the settings
maintained here. In this example, with BOM application, only
the costing BOM will be displayed.
Press F4 in BOM application, where all the available setting
will be displayed.
1.5 Define Work center Category
BACKGROUND
This configuration setting enables to define work center
category.
Work center category is the major classification of work center
by SAP. E.g. Machine, processing unit, labor are defined as a
different work center category.
Work center category controls the field selection inside the
work center.
SCENARIO
Create a work center category to mention skilled labor work
center category.
INSTRUCTIONS

4. Click Enter
5. Select Created capacity category
6. Double Click
7. Click
8. Enter Application Area in SAP where this work center
category can be used. E.g. P Routing; C - Master
Recipe; Q - Quality task list etc.
9. Note:- If this work center category is to be applicable to
all, maintain all the entry in this application field.
10. Click .
Impact of this configuration in Master Data /
Transaction
When creating the work center for skilled labor, work center
category is to be mentioned as it is a mandatory entry.
1.6 Define Parameters
BACKGROUND
This configuration setting enables to define Parameter
(activities) for formula.
Parameter is one of the required settings to calculate the
conversion cost incurred in the Work center during
manufacturing.
Example for activities:-
Work center while in use can consume
Power
Labour
Setup time
Depreciation
Steam etc.
The above costs incurred during conversion will be captured
through the activity. Parameter is the structure to capture this
activity.
Link to the Master data is established as below:-
Parameter will be assigned to the standard value
key.
Standard value key will be assigned in the work
center.
Work center will be assigned to the task list
(Routing or Master Recipe).
Data of planned duration of these activities will be
maintained in the task list (Routing or Master
recipe)
SCENARIO
Create a Parameter. Note: - Standard SAP setting is sufficient.
Let us discuss the creation of new parameter.

unit as MIN.
Note: - If any parameter for which there is no unit, it may be
mentioned as no unit.
4. Click Save .
Impact of this configuration in Master Data /
Transaction
Link between the parameter and the master data is as below.
a. This parameter will be assigned to the standard value
key.
b. Standard value key will be attached with the work center.
c. Work center will be attached in the task list. I.e. in the
routing or in the master recipe.
d. Standard value (i.e. duration of labour hours required)
will be maintained in the task list as a master data.
