  • Key Concepts: 
    BOM status is a feature of SAP Production Planning and Control (PP) that allows users to track the status of a bill of materials (BOM). It is used to indicate whether a BOM is active, inactive, or obsolete. The BOM status can be changed manually or automatically based on certain criteria. 
    
    How to use it: 
    To use the BOM status feature, users must first create a BOM in the SAP system. Once the BOM is created, users can assign a status to it. The available statuses are active, inactive, and obsolete. The status can be changed manually or automatically based on certain criteria such as the expiration date of the BOM or the availability of components. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    It is important to keep track of the BOM status in order to ensure that the correct version of the BOM is being used for production. It is also important to keep track of any changes made to the BOM status in order to ensure that all stakeholders are aware of any changes. 
    
    Related Information: 
    The BOM status feature is closely related to other features in SAP PP such as material requirements planning (MRP) and material master data. It is also related to other features such as cost estimation and inventory management.
