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

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/sap-pp-customizing 1/30
8/12/2019 SAP PP Customizing

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

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.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/sap-pp-customizing 3/30
8/12/2019 SAP PP Customizing

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.
Let’s 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.

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.

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

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

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/sap-pp-customizing 7/30
8/12/2019 SAP PP Customizing

 Power
 Labour

 Setup time

1.7 Define Standard Value

BACKGROUND
 This configuration setting enables to define the standard value
key.
Standard value key is very essential to capture the cost
incurred in the work center.
Standard value key will contain the activities. One standard
value key can contain up to six activities. Each activity refers
to the cost.
Example:-
 Production cost

 Set up cost

 Labour cost


Quality Cost
Power cost
 Steam cost

One work center can have only one standard value key.

1.8 Define Shift Sequence
BACKGROUND
 This configuration setting enables to define shift sequence.
Shift sequence is used to define the specific working pattern.
I.e. weekly holidays, number of shift and working hours of
each shift.
Work center capacity is calculated from its working hours
defined in the capacity header details of the work center.
 There are mainly three ways to define capacity for each work
center.
Normal capacity
Available Interval capacity
Interval and shifts
Normal capacity is defined through the working hrs and break
in the capacity header
Available interval capacity is the capacity available for any
specific duration; it is defined at the capacity header detail
Interval and shifts is defining the shifts in which the machine
or industry works.
SCENARIO
Create a shift sequence with two shifts a day and Thursday
and Friday as weekly holiday.
