Understanding Actual Bills of Material

Generate the actual bill of materials of the items manufactured within the period in which the actual cost calculation process is run, thus obtaining the actual consumptions of their components.

Any product in progress or product manufactured by a standard procedure has a specific bill of materials that indicates the component quantities needed to manufacture a certain item. Standard bills of materials are located in the F3002 table and typically have a bill type of M.

The actual bill of materials calculation process completes the F3002 and F76H6008 tables and generates a PDF file containing a detailed list of units manufactured by item.

Note: The actual bill of materials generation may be run as many times as necessary, provided the last actual cost calculation process has not been run. Each new process run deletes the records generated in the F3002 table for the specified bill type and also deletes the record in the F76H6008 table.

To calculate the actual bill of materials, all products in progress and manufactured products production entries from work orders that meet these conditions:

• Selected work order branch/plants must belong to a transactional company that belongs to a legal company.

• The required date (DRQJ field from the F4801 table) or work order end date (STRX field from the F4801 table) is compared with the actual cost process run in the period. Work order dates are selected for the calculation provided they are within the period.

• Work orders meet the status entered into the actual cost process header.

• Selected work orders meet the document type and work order type specified in the setup.

• Products with a stock type different from R in the Item Master are taken into account.

  Note: To calculate the actual bill of materials, the system converts everything to the primary unit of measure (UM).
