Managing Unassigned Modified EBOM Versions

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to manage unassigned EBOM versions by reusing planning scopes and creating new change records.

The Manage Unassigned EBOMs App

The Manage Unassigned EBOMs app displays new and modified engineering BOMs (EBOMs) waiting for manufacturing handover as a worklist. You can display a net change to understand what exactly has been changed between EBOM versions. Choose the material number to view the BOM net change.

The net change of an EBOM version displays the delta between the given version and its previous version. This gives you an idea of the scope of the change that has taken place in the BOM.

If the relevant planning scope and change record are already available, they are displayed and the user can select them.

Summary

This lesson covers managing unassigned EBOM versions by efficiently utilizing planning scopes and change records.

Use the Manage Unassigned EBOMs app to track new and modified EBOMs awaiting handover.
Analyze net changes between EBOM versions to understand modification scope.
View relevant planning scopes and change records directly from the app.
Select and apply available planning scope and change record to streamline the handover process.

Create a New EBOM Version and Release it in the Maintain Bill of Material App

Business Example

Eric is a design engineer in the low-volume A&D Company focusing on the final assembly of complex products. The company would like to start modeling its production process in the SAP S/4HANA PEO product. Eric is responsible for changes to product design. To improve a particular product, he wants to replace an old component with a newly developed one. To do this, he creates a new version of the engineering bill of material (EBOM) with the new component in place of the old one. He can finalize the EBOM structures by releasing them in VEMP, or in the Maintain Bill of Material app.

Reuse an Existing Planning Scope and Create a New Change Record with New Version for EBOM

Business Example

Eric is a production engineer in the low-volume A&D Company focusing on the final assembly of complex products. Eric has been given the task of managing the unassigned engineering and manufacturing BOMs and assigning BOMs to planning scopes and change records. He monitors his queue for new and modified engineering BOMs waiting for manufacturing handover.
