BOM alternate selection during MRP run

Former Member

Hi

I have a peculiar scenario of BOM selection.

My client has couple of alternates to produce one product,typically a Process Industry.So,every time he plans the production,he considers the stock availability of the current alternates and decides which would be the best possible process(alternate) to produce the BOM now.

Example:

1. First BOM of A may produce A & Co-product C1 by comsuming B1 if it is produced in method 1

2. Second BOM of A may produce A & Co-product C1 by comsuming B2 if it is produced in method 2

3. Third BOM of A may produce A & Co-product C2 by comsuming B3 if it is produced in method 3

Now system should pick the appropriate method(Alternate BOM) while running MRP by accessing the current stock situation of C1,C2,B1,B2&B3.

Is there any possibility to address this scenario??

Thanks in advance

Sudhar,

Standard takes the first valid BoM as per selection criteria in MRP view of material master.

However you could consider a work around.

You need to define Production versions for the combination of BoM and routing.

Implement the BAdI MD_MODIFY_PRODVERS.

Use the method MODIFY_PRODUCTION_VERSION to write your logic (for checking the stocks) and change the production version to the required one.

Thanks for ur prompt reply Ram,

Can we set such a logic for MRP run in that BADI??

Yes, but it would be performace intensive. You would be exploding all alternatives and checking for stocks for each of these alternatives and then choosing the required alternative.

Hi sudhar,

MRP selects the Alternate Bom`s based on Order qty (Lotsize), Valid date and Production version.

Do i mean to say, Based the stock of raw material ststem has to select the Correct Alternate Bom .

For ex Demand for A = 100 nos

STOCK

B1 = 0 Nos

B2= 0 Nos

B3= 100 Nos

Inthat case ,your requirement is system has to select 3rd alternate Bom . Please explain

Hi,

Try with Alternative item group assigning in CS02 of material A.
