SAP Note 558349 - AFS: Problems with BOM explosion in purchasing

Component : Purchasing -

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/558349 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
In the context of SAP R/3, problems have been identified in the explosion of the bill of material (BOM) for subcontracting items (Item category L) in purchasing documents (such as ME21, ME22, ME51, ME52 and their 'N' transaction versions). This mostly affects systems running at least Release 4.6C and relates to incorrect calculation or failure to calculate BOM due to the standardized logic applied to the requirements date, critical for BOM explosion. The recommended solution involves validating material grids in AFS using transaction J3AH, ensuring compatibility with the requirements date by adjusting the 'Val.-from date'.

Key words :
transaction 'afs create material grid', header material grid, previous material grid, field 'copygrdval' selected, bom explosion returns, transaction code, material incorrectly, material grids, bom maintenance, purchasing documents
