Changing one Variant BOM 

To change one variant BOM in a BOM group, choose Material BOM → Change.

Choose this function if you want to make a specific change to one variant, such as changing a variant part.

If you want to change an item that is used with the same data in all variants of the BOM group (non-variable part), choose BOM group → Change.

To change a variant BOM:

  1. Choose Material BOM → Change.

You see the Change material BOM initial screen.

  1. Enter your data on the initial screen.

– The Alternative field is not relevant to variant BOMs, so do not make an entry in this field. If the system displays a message about an entry in this field, confirm the message.

– Enter a Valid-from date or Change number.

If you change a variant BOM with reference to a change number, you may see an error message telling you to check the object management records.
