Question:
Sub contract PO is created for the material for Plant A and components are maintained for that. Now User wants to change plant in the PO using Transaction ME22N.
Once the plant is changed to plant B in the PO, system is automatically doing the BOM Explosion and components previously maintained getting disappeared.
Requirement is, User should able to change only Plant in the PO but components should not get changed it should remain as it is as previously maintained.
How this can be done.Please guide.
Answer:
I think you'll need to maintain the BOM at the other plant. The BOM is plant level data so when you change the plant on the subcontract order it is looking for a BOM at that plant.
Having said that, will the materials provided come from the new plant or the original plant? If they are coming from the new plant then you'll need the BOM there to generate the requirements for the material provided.
If the BOM is the same in both plants I would create the BOM in one plant with CS01 and then use transaction CS07 to allocate it to other plants. This way you only have to change it in one of the plants and the changes will apply to all plants that have been allocated to that BOM.
I hope this helps.

Answer:
Components would be provided by the old plant. BOM is not maintained for all the Materials even if BOM is maintained user is deleting some of the components while creating sub contract PO.
Now if user creates PO like said above for one plant and if user changes plant in the PO either BOM is getting exploded if maintained or component screen will appear as blank and User needs to again re-enter the components.
How this can be avoided?
Thanks
