Alternate BOMs and Routings

[Former Member]

Hello Gurus,

I had a question. I have created Alternate BOMs and Routings for a Material. How through Configuration/or Material Master settings Can I control, as to when MRP derives result from Primary BOM/Routing or Alternative BOM/Routing.

Thanks,

Sachin

Hi,

Please check what SAP help says:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/f4/7d2aea44af11d182b40000e829fbfe/frameset.htm

(I assume you could use production version - C223)

Hi,

For BOM selection, system will check BOM selection method in material master of MRP4 view.

BOM selection by Lot size, Date, Production version & Only by prod version.

Addition to that BOM selection by Selection ID defined in plant parameter. This selection ID consists of BOM priority & Usage.

Manually you can not control BOM selection.

For routing selection, system will check Lot size. If lot size not matched with required qty, system avoid the lot size & consider the date.

In addition to that system will consider Task list type, priority, Usage & Status.

In Order type dependent parameter(OPL8), you can configure whether system should select routing automatically or manually.

Hi

I have an option may not be a perfect solution but a workaround. Make the Main BOM or routing (routing is not relevant for MRP) status as in-active and run the MRP. Please test it and let us know.

Thanks
