Lot size in BOM as well as for alternate material

[Former Member]

how can we define the Lot size and validity period for a BOM means we want to define that 1 to 100 qty are to be produced with alternate 1 and 101 to 1000 for alternate 2. How the same can be defined in the master BOM.

There is one component in the BOM and there is a alternate material is also, Users want to define that while issuing the material , system allow to issue only say qty " 50" and then alternate material for next lot.

Is there any possibility to define the BOM as per the above requirement.

thanks

Dear Harish,

if u have alternative BOM's, then creat production versions

1) creat BOM with two alternatives (say alt 1 1to 100 & alt 2 101 to 200)

2) creat multiple Routings with two group counters

3) creat production version in MM02 in MRP 4 view or work scheduling view

4) in BOM slection in MRP 4 view maitain the prameter as 3 or 4

Then MRP takes care of lot sizes difined in PV & BOM and creat procurment proposals

what you asked in 2nd part is not possible without some exit (dobutfl about that also)

but first part is, when u create an altername BOM, there is field for lot size, so u can maintain that,

so depending upon the lot size system will determine the BOM
