3. using supply area and work center. create supply areas and link them to st. loc's. - then
link the supply area to the work center on CR02. Then allocate components to operations
going through those work centers.
Note:
Supply Areas are meant to be used in conjunction with Kanban. However you can just
use them to link the work center to a storage location. You will never see an inventory
balance in MMBE in a supply area. With Kanban you can set up automatic triggers to
replenish stock to the supply areas from a main stock location.
When is a Material BOM Not Exploded?
A BOM is not exploded in the following situations:
- No BOM is effective:
-- On the explosion date and in the given area of validity
For the given effectivity parameters
- The BOM has a deletion indicator.
- The BOM is a multiple BOM, and has no alternative that matches the lot size for your
required quantity.
- No BOM matches the selection criteria of the BOM application you selected.
- This is possible in the following situations, for example:
-- The application does not take all BOM usages into account.
For example, the application only takes BOMs that are relevant to production into
account, so a BOM that is relevant to sales and distribution is not exploded.
-- The application selects a specific alternative on the explosion date you require. The
material master record supports alternative determination by Explosion date.
If the specified alternative is not valid on the explosion date, the BOM is not exploded.
-- The application takes production versions in the material master record into account,
but no production version has a BOM that is valid on the explosion date you require. The
material master record supports alternative determination by Production version.
The system only explodes the BOM defined for the production version that matches the
alternative and/or usage entered on the explosion date required.
-- The application only takes BOMs with certain status indicators into account.
For example, the application for MRP only explodes BOMs that have at least the status
Explosion for MRP.
