Hey Gurus,
I have maintained and alternative item group for two materials
2005170: This material is a phantom. I am trying to explode to the lower level components and use those materials.
AltItemGroup A1
Priority 1
Strategy 1
Usage prob. 70
2001751:
AltItemGroup A1
Priority 2
Strategy 1
Usage prob. 30
When I create a production order, the system is always choosing 2001751 because there is inventory on this component. But, in most cases, I would like the system to choose the 2005170 (there will never be inventory on this component because it is a phantom) and explode down to the lower level components where we are keeping the inventory Also, once the production order is created, the users would like to have the opportunity to manually select the alternate component if needed. I didn't really want to create production versions for a situation in which we are just basically swapping out parts. Is there any way to manually select the material if the wrong component has been chosen on the production order without using production versions and without manually deleting the component off the production order and manually entering the alternate component?
