MRP for Sub items

[Former Member]

I have a scenario where in

Component -A

Component -B

Component-C

Needs to be planned together and requirement will have to be created only for Component A.

Example -

Component A - Stock available-10

Component B- Stock Available-8

Component C- Stock Available-8

Requirement for Component A is 40. MRP should check stock for B and C and create procurement proposal for 14. Can Alternative item group functionality be used for this and if yes how priority and usage needs to be given?

Hello

There is a DIMP functionality called interchangeability of parts that can be used to address this scenario. Take a look on the documentation below:

Parts Interchangeability - SAP Library

Interchangeable Manufacturer Parts in MRP - Parts Interchangeability - SAP Library

Thanks . We did check on this. Ours is in ECC and the solution mentioned in the documents talks about SCM suite, IS and A&D industry specific solution. I was wondering if this can be achieved in standard ECC ? Hence reaching out to people who can confirm if this functionality of parts interchangeability can be achieved in ECC or does this require implementing SCM or industry specific packages.
