What are the use of Group bom? - By Vikram

A bom WITHOUT A PLANT IS CALLED GROUP BOM.

Group BOM:
If you create a material BOM without reference to a plant, the BOM is valid throughout your company. To do this, you leave the Plant field blank. The system checks whether material masters exist. There are no system checks for plant data.

However, you can also create a group BOM, without reference to a plant. For example, a designer maintains a group BOM during the design phase of a product, then the BOM is allocated to one or more plants for production purposes.

For single BOM (one production line) do I need to do Production Version? Whats the purpose of using Prod. Version for single BOM?

It depends on your company needs as a production version determines the various production techniques that can be used to produce a material. It defines the following information:
- Alternative BOM for a BOM explosion
- Task list type, task list group, and group counter for assignment to task lists
- Lot-size restrictions and period of validity
A material can have one or more production versions.

During the process order creation system picks up the required version to produce the material.
