There are few new BOM Transactions in S4 Hana (onPrem) as listed below
CS11H Display BOM level by level-SAP HANA
CS12H Display multilevel BOM – SAP HANA
CS13H Display Summarized BOM – SAP HANA
These Transactions use the CS_BOM_EXPL_MAT_V2_HANA and not the classical Function module. SAP Has done Time consumption between classical and S4 Hana and concludes When the Data set or the complexity of the BOM is more then only the Improved Performance can be noticed.

If you’ve had hands-on experience with these transactions or the function module, I would love to hear your insights! Drop a comment below and share your thoughts
The below are the list of New apps that have been released in SAP S/4 Hana 2023 in the Manufacturing LOB
⚡ Historical Buffer Performance –
is a new app using which you can view the historical data for your buffer stock related to the time-dependent buffer level charts within a specified time period (for example, last month). The visualization and analytical capabilities helps the production planner to gain an insight into the historical buffer performance for a material.
⚡Manage Material Coverage(F0251A) –
With this app, you can display and analyze coverage issues that exist for selected materials. For each material that you select, you can display a stock / requirements list including material shortage information, which helps you determine shortages that can cause disruptions to production or to the fulfillment of customer demands. You can also take actions directly from the app, for example, start an MRP run or edit MRP elements to resolve coverage issues
⚡Evaluate Capacity is a new app using which you can better visualize capacity situation of work centers within a plant. You can group work centers based on work center group and visualize the utilization on the group level. The visualization and analytical capabilities helps in understanding and managing the impact of capacity situation.
⚡My Area of Responsibility – Work Center Person Responsible
With this new app, you can define your area of responsibility by selecting the respective combinations of plant and work center person responsible. In the Mass maintenance of work center capacities app, only those work center capacities are displayed in the worklist that fulfill your selection criteria.
🎯 As we know the AVC has to be installed after the S4 Hana has been installed. This can be part of your upgrade or even for new installation
🎯 It is always important to evaluate if all the Technical Pre-Requisites are completed correctly
🎯 This is completely as Technical task for validation but still it is good for the Functional consultants also to be aware of this Pre-Requisites.
🎯 SAP has provided a standard report -VCH_HL_AFL_CHECK which will help you to execute and confirm the same.
🎯 There are parameters which are more technical but the important part is you should be getting a message -“Procedure Called Successfully” in Green Highlighted color. This confirms that the technical pre-requisites are installed correctly.
This blog details the process to update/ create the standard batch characteristics in the SAP – system.Whenever a new client is built you will not be finding the SAP – Standard characteritics. This concerns all characteristics starting with LOBM_*.
Example:
LOBM_VFDAT expiration date, shelf life
LOBM_VERAB availability date
To activate this we need to perform the below customization in the system.
This particular acvitity is to be peformed during the below cases:
In newly created clients, after copying other clients
After defining object dependencies for standard characteristic LOBM_RLZ
In every client after a release upgrade
The configuration Path is as below :Logistics – General> Batch Managment > Batch valuation > Update Standard Characteristics. Once you run this configuration node , the standard cstics will be created and also the requried Object dependencies will also be creatd ( Copied from the client 000). This should be part of all new client preparation check list, cutover check list also.
When working in the SAP – PP/DS or during the intial set up of the PPDS in the s4 hana system we need to check the consistency of the SAP Live cache set up.
For this we need to use the t.code /SAPAPO/OM17 and once you go to the t.code do select the Product / Location combination
When you run in foreground then you will get the message ” The Selected Data is Consistent” if not then it will take to next screen to detail the message of inconsistency and then you have options to clear the inconsistency also.
In case if you are facing the below error , espcially in case if you are using the IS-Mill functionality or the single unit batch concept.
Conversion
factor of single-unit batch Message no. MILL101.
This message is received if there is any inconsistency in the Batch specific unit of measure that has been adopted in the batch classification, Especially when you make return delivery or other cancellations if the Batch specific uom characteristics is not empty then this error will occur.
The creation of sales order with variant configuration characteristics will be a little tricky one.
we have to use the below Function module(FM) –
For Creation : SD_SALESDOCUMENT_CREATE
For Changes: SD_SALESDOCUMENT_CHANGE
one of the advantage of using this FM is that this will support all document types like Sales order, Scheduling agreements, Customer independent Requirements.
In the following section we will see the usage of this FM to create a simple Customer Independent requirement (MD81) with the variant configuration values passed on to the same.The below are the fM structure you need to work with
ORDER_HEADER_IN
ORDER_ITEMS_IN
SALES_SCHEDULES_IN
SALES_CFGS_REF
SALES_CFGS_INST
SALES_CFGS_VALUE
ORDER_HEADER_IN:

Note: In this structure the “common mistake” most of them do is not filling in the po_itm_no- if this is not filled then the SO will not be created with the characteristics values
