Alt bom components with ATP check - production order resets usage prob.

95 Views

Hello,

I have searched many threads for this answer. Here is my scenario

BOM for finished good X has the following components

Component | Usage Prob | Strategy | Alt Item Group | Priority

A | 55% | 2 | 1 | 1

B | 45% | 2 | 1 | 2

When I create the production order for 100 units, components A and B are proposed respectively (per usage probability, as expected) - like so

Production Order

Component A = 55 units

Component B = 45 units

Here is the requirement - Component B at any given time is restricted by federal law to not be used for material X for more than 45% of its make up. Therefore my client cannot build X with more than 45% of component B. However, we always want to use at most 45%. IF component B is not available, transfer all or partial confirmation to Component A.

Issue:

ATP and usage probabilities will not work. Whenever I run ATP check for production order, the component with the highest priority get all the reqirements (if inventory permits). The production order master data is 'reset' by the ATP check (the usage probability on the component will change from 45% to 100%)

Any help is greatly appreciated!
