SAP Bills of Materials Management
Bills of Materials are used extensively in SAP PM, Engineering, Production, Sales and Document Management. Learn best practices for Asset BOMs, how to create various BOM entities and various skills for management.
Many companies have issues with parts lists, some they are not even aware of;
Wrong Parts in BOMs on assets, cost of extended downs, parts returns
Obsolete parts in BOMs, causing frustration and lots of manual direct charges
Use of FL or EQ BOMs on common assets - wasted time keeping them consistent, 3 pumps = 3X effort
Use of FL or EQ Task Lists for common assets, best practices to use General Task Lists to MINIMIZE EFFORT
General Task Lists with no header assembly identified, wasted time searching assemblies
Parts against operation in task lists not associated to assembly on header; "orphaned" parts, not copied, cannot use mass changes
Use of Construction Type BOMs assigned to assets (best practices) but too many parts in unsorted listing, causing wrong parts ordered, frustrations and wasted time
Accidental creation of alternate BOMs that no one will see - wasted time, confusion
