Displaying a Plant Allocation 

How to display a plant allocation:

  1. Choose Bills of material → Material BOM → Allocation to plant → Display from the bills of material menu.

You see the initial screen for plant allocation.

  1. Enter the data of the BOM you want to allocate to an additional plant.

– Material

– Plant

– Usage

– Alternative

You do not need to enter an alternative for a simple BOM.

If you do not enter an Alternative for a multiple BOM, you go to the alternative overview. You can select one of the alternatives on the overview to allocate to one or more additional plants.

  1. Confirm your entries. You see the Display current allocations screen. The system displays all allocations to the current BOM in the plant you entered on this screen.

To identify the BOM, you see the internal BOM number and the usage.

The Material allocations – BOMs dataset shows the following data:

– For a variant BOM, you see the variant with the material number and plant.

– For a multiple BOM, you see the alternative, material number, and plant. You also see the lot size fields.

For all BOMs, the system checks whether the material is a configured material (material variant). If it is, you see an indicator in the Cfg. mat (Indicator: configured material) field. Configured materials do not have their own BOM. They are allocated to the BOM of the configurable material.

  1. To display all allocations for the BOM, choose All allocs to BOM (All allocations to BOM). The display screen has the same format as the current allocations screen.
    • For a simple BOM, you see all plants in which the BOM was allocated to the selected material.
    • For a variant BOM, you see all variants with the material number and plant.
    • For a multiple BOM, you see all alternatives with the material number and plant.

If appropriate, the system sets the Configured material indicator.
