Tcode CEWB

CEWB is a transaction that allows extraction of manufacturing master data like BOMs and routings in mass. It provides predefined work areas for header and item level selection of BOMs and routings. Users can also create their own work areas for simplified views. The transaction extracts active BOM and routing data based on the selection range date. Fields can be chosen and data exported to Excel for further use in projects like rollouts or migrations.

Tcode CEWB (Engineering workbench) as a master data

extraction tool
CEWB is a very powerful transaction as far as the manufacturing master data is concerned. This is mainly used
as a tool to change/update the values of the BOM and Routing in mass. This is a hidden transaction and needs
to be set up using simple configuration steps

SAP may provide pre-defined Work areas which should usually satisfy the requirement. You may also create
your own work Areas to have simplified views as per one’s requirements.

In customizing, Go to Production – > Basic Data – > Engineering Workbench – > Edit Working Areas

Here it can be seen that Work areas have been maintained for Header level and Item level for both BOM’s as
well as Routings
BOM Header selection parameters

BOM Item level selection parameters


Similarly Work area is set up for Routing data

In transaction CEWB, the maintained Working areas can be seen


Choose any one of the Working area. In this example let us choose the BOM item Working area

The date in the Selection Range is a key factor in determining the BOMs that are active in that period

Since this example is to use the transaction as an extraction tool, we can limit our input to PLANT, USAGE
and BOM CATEGORY.
A – BOM Header Material

B – BOM number

C – Alternative BOM number

D – BOM item/component material code

E – BOM component description

To export the complete list of BOM in to an Excel file Go to ITEM in the menu and select print. This will load
the complete list as shown below. Using the CHANGE LAYOUT option, we can choose up to 99 fields from a
list of about 200 fields.
Choose Export from List menu to the desired output file.

This is one of the easiest ways to extract the Bill Of Materials and Routing data. One can extract both Header
and Item view individually or combined.This could be handy in Roll out projects, Migration projects etc.
Instead of using extensive master data extraction tools this method can be used whose out put data is self
validated as the data fetched is with respect to the validity and status.
