HI
We have several BOM's set up within our R3 system and some of these are not reaching the production plans.
I'm now wondering if there is an issue with the validity dates we have set up for different plants.
We have a sub plant with effective date ahead of the main plant for some items and these are not feeding the forecast data into the production plans.
On other items where the main plant predates the sub plant the data flows perfectly.
I'm not aware of there being any timing issues within SAP, however this does seem to show that if we have more than one live BOM for production, then only the first effective date will be picked up by production.
We can change the BOM type if you know that to be a cure for this and I will apply the learning with our Master data "expert" who is currently claiming that this is a special engineering add on which the company does not have.. Even though this is part of the standard SAP system and I can see the different BOM types in the system.
I have tried to find this information by searching the online directory, but there is no mention of having multiple live BOM's for production that I can find.
Hoping that there is someone who can help clear this up as I'm having to go through a lot of data checks to the production plans each month to cover off the dependent demand.
Thanks in advance
Doug
