Massive Creation of Version-Controlled Bill of Material (Version BOMs) in SAP PEO
Apr 10, 2025
Introduction
A bill of material (BOM) is a list of all components required in a process to make a product or assembly, together with the quantities required, the unit of measure, the description, the storage location, the production supply area, etc… The components are known as BOM items.
On a normal BOM, the different changes states are represented using date effectivity, so changes depend on dates. For BOMs with a change history, the change states are identified using the Engineering Change Numbers (ECN).
SAP Production Engineering and Operations (PEO) introduced a new version-controlled BOM concept, where different change states of the BOM are represented by versions. This means no need to work with ECN and date combinations. The main highlight of SAP PEO is then the use of Version BOMs instead of Normal or Classic BOMs.
Version BOMs cannot be created in the SAP S/4HANA classic GUI transaction codes (e.g. CS01). Instead, they must be created in the “Maintain Bill of Material” Fiori App (F1813). The BOM details and fields are exactly the same; the only difference between BOM structure of PEO and PP is the version number.
The following table contains the main differences between classic and version-controlled BOMs:
