SD-PP integration: BOM alternative

39 Views

hello, friends. i wish to ask you about transfer of requirements from SD to PP.

when processing the sales order, the user can manually select the BOM alternative via a dialog box. in standard, BOM with usage 3 (universal) and 5 (SD) are supported.

i notice that after we run MRP, in the planned order the BOM usage is 1 and alternative is defaulted to the first in the order sequence. this is true if the BOM selection method in the material master MRP 4 view is either for production version or blank.

if the selection method is by key date, then the BOM in the planned order will be the first in sequence for alternatives by key date.

in variant configuration, the specific requirements are transferred. but for a simple BOM, in neither situation is the alternative selected in the sales order transferred. why is this so? are there missing settings?

hoping for your valued inputs.

many thanks.
