We setup one layer BOM’s for our maintenance KITs as parent material and components as child material. For example KIT is TS10000-K1 and components are TS10001, TS10002 etc setup as next layer with in the BOM. Both KITS and components are defined as material types ERSA (Spare parts). These one layers BOMs are setup as production BOMs and expected to create purchase requisitions for KITS and components by exploding BOMs during MRP runs. We use purchase requisitions and convert them into POs to procure both KITS and components. We DO NOT USE Panned orders and Production orders.
The safety stocks / reorder point are considered as demand for KITS and components as we do not have any external demand for KITS and components.
MRP run is creating purchase requisitions automatically for both KITS and components as per safety stocks and reorder point defined in MRP Views of Material Master. This is working as expected.
- The issue is: KIT BOM’s are not exploding to generate purchase requisitions for the dependent components of KIT BOM. Please suggest the way to resolve this issue.
- Split valuation: Also we plan to use split valued KITS with both new and refurbished. So we need BOM explosion for split valued KITS
also (after the 1st issue is resolved).
I verified the following items to make sure the required configuration and data setup is defined correctly.
1) Planning file activated Plant - OMDU
2) Executed MRP run with Total Planning - MDBT and MD02 (single item, multiple levels)
3) BOM explosion for MRP activated- OS23
4) MRP type in MRP1 view- PD and VB (I tried both separately but BOM is not exploding).
5) Procurement type “F” (MRP 2 view) and lot size “EX”
6) Planning strategy in MRP 3 view (tested w/o planning strategy and with strategies 10 and 40. But BOM is not exploded)
7) BOM status and usage (status is active and usage is for production-CS02 and OS20)
8) BOM Validity date (Valid)
9) BOM structure in CS12 (BOM is exploding in CS11)
10) Availability check
11) Selection of BON ID to have BOM usage indicator assign (OS31).
12) No alternate BOMs or production versions or work scheduling view are used.
Please review the above 2 issues and suggest any workable solution. Thanks in advance!
NOTE: I extensively used MRP with multi-level BOM explosion in my earlier projects without any issue. However the above issue is a bit strange why one layer BOM is not exploded in this case.
