Maintaining Header Data

For more information on the data fields in the BOM header, see BOM header Error! No bookmark name given..

How to maintain header data:

When you start the function for creating a BOM, the system copies certain data to the BOM header. You can enter additional header data at any time on the header detail screen.

Click .

You can enter additional data on the tab pages Quantity/Long text and Additional data. Furthermore, you can assign documents that are managed with the document management system (CA-DMS) to the BOM header on the tab page Document assignment.

Enter your data.

In the BOM group field, you can enter a name for the entire BOM group (all alternatives of a multiple BOM or all variants of a variant BOM). The system checks for special characters.
You can use the Display BOM group function to access the material BOM. As well as accessing the material BOM by entering the Material/Plant/Usage, you can access the BOM by entering the BOM group.
When you maintain a simple BOM (the value for the technical type is blank), you do not see the fields for lot size, which are relevant to multiple BOMs, on the Quantities/long text header detail screen.

If you already know which technical type you want when you first create a BOM, you can define the first alternative immediately.
