Subcontracting With Variant Configuration materials

[Former Member]

Hi

Trying to use the subcontracting process with variant config materials. The goal is to be able to select differnt BOM materials based on selection procedures from the BOM. Current testing shows that the proper item cat does not appear in the Purchase Req. I believe this is affecting the functionality. We have the special procurment key of 30 selected in the material and a BOM with selection procedures to pick the proper Bom material. Please advise if this can be done and if so how to go about it.

Thanks

Assign the BOM version in the info record so system will propose based on that in the PO.

I am not sure were this would be done in the Purchasing Info record. Can you please advise the screen and location of the field.

I do not believe you can assign the BOM version in the info record but you can definitely assign BOM versions using quote arrangement.

I mean to say Produciton Version

Production Version

Key which determines the various production techniques according to which

a material can be manufactured.

The production version determines the following:

o the BOM alternative for a BOM explosion

o the task list type, the task list group and the task list group

counter for allocation to task lists

o lot-size restrictions for repetitive manufacturing
