| # Copy BOM Components to Order (tdpur4812s000) Use this session to copy a bill of material (BOM) to the lines of a purchase order for a specified quantity of a manufactured item. This is useful if you want to modify the order lines after copying the BOM data. To start the process, enter: The manufactured item. The quantity ordered. The bom levels. A purchase order line is added for each position in the BOM which has no underlying components. Only those BOM components are copied for which the order date lies between the effective date and the expiry date of the component in question. The item version is also taken into account. The procedure is illustrated by the following bill of material: If you copy the BOM for 4 units of item A, 6 purchase order lines are added to the order: 1 order line with 8 units of item B. 1 order line with 8 units of item G. 1 order line with 12 units of item H. 1 order line with 12 units of item D. 1 order line with 4 units of item E. 1 order line with 4 units of item F. You can still modify order lines after copying. Prices and discount are automatically determined as usual. Note Instead of copying the BOM to the order line, you can also create a single order line for main item A with a quantity of 4. In case of postings to inventory, the components (B, C, D, E and F) are marked On Order and posted. A disadvantage of this method is that you cannot deviate from the BOM data. Main Item The manufactured item for which the BOM is copied to the purchase order lines. Effectivity Unit A reference number on a sales order line or a sales quotation line that is used to model deviations for a unit effective item. Related topics Overview of unit effectivity Ordered Quantity The quantity that must be delivered according to the terms on the order line. The quantity is expressed in the purchase unit or the sales unit of the item. Ordered Quantity The unit of measure in which the inventory of an item is recorded, such as piece, kilogram, box of 12, or meter. The inventory unit is also used as the base unit in measure conversions, especially for conversions that concern the order unit and the price unit on a purchase order or a sales order. These conversions always use the inventory unit as the base unit. An inventory unit therefore applies to all item types, also to item types that cannot be kept in stock. Maximum Number of Phantom Levels to be Skipped The number of BOM levels that you want to be copied or issued.
