Potential errors caused by inconsistent selection of order system

If the order systems of manufactured items are set up inconsistently, the following problems can occur:

• If a BOM component is a planned item, and its main item is not a planned item, Enterprise Planning does not plan the requirements for the main item. Therefore, the dependent demand for the component is not correctly calculated.
• If a manufactured item is a planned item, and has a BOM component that is a phantom item with routing operations, the component must be a planned item. If the component is not a planned item, the transfer of planned production orders to the execution level fails, because the phantom item's operations were not planned. Therefore, LN displays an error message.

LN does not automatically check the BOMs and routings for these incorrect item structures.

To check and correct the order systems of a range of items, use the Check Order System for Planning (tibom1220m000) session.
