What is disassembly BOM in SAP PP-PEO - Production Engineering and Operations?

SAP Term: disassembly BOM

• Component: PP-PEO

• Component Name: Production Engineering and Operations

• Description: A bill of material with negative quantities that is used for the planned disassembly of components. A disassembly BOM is used for the disassembly of products that have been returned, for example. In this case, you can disassemble any expensive parts that can be reused. A second example is a disassembly BOM for transportation whereby you have already completed the assembly of a product but you then have to disassemble it in order to transport it.

• Key Concepts: 
  A disassembly BOM (Bill of Materials) is a type of BOM used in SAP Production Engineering and Operations (PP-PEO). It is used to define the components that make up a product and the order in which they are assembled or disassembled. The BOM also contains information about the quantity of each component required for the product. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP PP-PEO, a disassembly BOM is created when a product needs to be taken apart. This BOM will contain all the components that make up the product, as well as the order in which they should be taken apart. The BOM can then be used to guide the disassembly process. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a disassembly BOM, it is important to ensure that all components are listed in the correct order. This will help ensure that the disassembly process is efficient and accurate. Additionally, it is important to double-check that all components are listed correctly and that the quantities are accurate. 
  
  Related Information: 
  A disassembly BOM is similar to an assembly BOM, which is used to define the components and order of assembly for a product. Additionally, both types of BOMs can be used in conjunction with other SAP PP-PEO tools such as production orders and material requirements planning (MRP).
