• Key Concepts: 
  A date-effective planning bill of materials (BOM) is a type of BOM used in SAP Production Planning and Execution (PP-PEO) that allows for the planning of different versions of a BOM based on a specific date. This type of BOM is used to plan for changes in production over time, such as when a new version of a product is released or when a product is discontinued. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use a date-effective planning BOM, the user must first create the different versions of the BOM that will be used. Each version must have its own effective date, which will determine when it will be used in the planning process. Once the versions are created, they can be assigned to the appropriate production orders and used in the planning process. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating date-effective planning BOMs, it is important to ensure that all versions are properly labeled and that the effective dates are accurate. This will help ensure that the correct version of the BOM is used in the planning process. Additionally, it is important to keep track of any changes made to the BOMs over time, as this can help ensure that all versions are up-to-date.
