For a material of type HAWA( let us say x),
I have created a material bom of BOM Usage 8(subcontract)
and connected three material(a,b,c) with item category L(Stock item).
Now when i am creating a subcontract PR for the material x ,
i am not getting the bom explosion automatically in the pr.
Kindly guide me.

Answer:
Hi,
I assumed that you have used Transaction CS01 to define/maintain your BOM with BOM Usage ('1' instead of '8' as you confirmed) and Alternative BOM. Please also confirm if you have also modify the material master data (in MRP View 4) to include this Alternative BOM in the ProdVers.
Cheers,

Just a thought.

Answer:
when entering production version in mrp4 view of material master,
i am getting the warning 'No bill of material exist' even when the alternate bom and bom usage in the version is correctly entered.
I have tried creating the info record and entered the production version in that.
Still i am not getting the bom explosion in subcontract order.

Hi,
Can you please copy the snapshots of MRP View 4 of the Material Master as well as BOM Components via Transaction CS01 and send them to me via e-mail ha.tran@holcim.com
? I will take a further look at it and get back to you.
Cheers,

Answer:
You may also check to change the delivery date, say one month from now and if it works change it again to a date closer and closer. If this works it is probably because you have a GR delay set in customizing and if you make a trial with today's date the BOM will not be recognized. However it should work a few days later.
Don't know if this helps but as I experienced it before I thought it was worth giving a shot.

Answer:
Hi
Traditionaly material type HAWA have no BoM's. They are trading goods.
For SAP to recognise a BoM the special procurement indicator '30' (subcontract) must be used (MRP2)

Answer:
Hi Everybody,
If this issue is still alive, I can give you one more idea that you can check. We had the same problem, so finally I debugged the program why system says 'No bill of material exist'. The key is the table TCS41, which is actually a customizing table and contains the priority of bom usages. You can maintain it in t-code OPJI. I think you should add a new entry with values '01' 'prio nr' '8'. I hope this helps!
