BOM A BOM is a list of components which are required for production of an assembly or
subassembly.
In SAP PP/REM BOM
In SAP PPPI BOM
Work Center / Resource
A Resource or a Work Center is a place where work is carried out. It is exactly the same
except for the category of the work centers in SAP PPPI is different.

Routing / Recipes
Routing or a Recipe has operations with work centers placed in a sequence of
production.
Routing in SAP PP/REM is very different than Recipe in SAP PPPI.
In SAP PP/REM Routing
In SAP PPPI Recipe
Recipes have Phases in place of operation which holds the work centers in a sequence
of production. Nevertheless operations are there which have significance other than
acting as header to the Phases. All the scheduling happens at the phase level.
Recipes also hold the Process instructions which are treated as information for the shop
floor operators or the legacy shop floor system on what is to be produced and how it is
to be produced and what qty is to be confirmed for production and how much is to be
received against the production order.
Such process instructions in turn except a return message from the shop floor about
order confirmations quantities at the phases, order Goods receipt quantities and other
QM inspection results and usage decision related data; these messages come back to
SAP as Process Messages and book confirmation, GR, QM activities in SAP Tables.
The Recipes also have one unique difference that they hold the BOM in them through
the use of Production Versions which carry these Recipes and BOM together. Thus
when you create a Recipe you need to create or enter a valid Production version for the
Header Material.
Such Combination of Recipe and BOM together might have also been set up together
because SAP PPPI has an inbuilt concept called Material Quantity Calculations, through
which you can change the quantity of component required through changes in
characteristics values of the header product & other production parameters.
Production Versions Production Versions in SAP PP/REM and SAP PPPI is the same.
A Production version holds the BOM and Routing/Recipe used for production for a lot
size and/or for a Validity period.

also be derived/copied from Sales &
Operation Planning system which
contains demand from previous
periodic Sales figures from the sales
areas or Sales organizations or sales
area or sales offices or plants or
various combination of this (as per
your requriements). These previous
period figure for a product or a product
group can be extrapolated to create the
demand for the future periods.
