Multiple routing and BOM

[Former Member]

Hai gurus,

1) My client manufacture whisky using process industry scenario.

2) They produce whisky in bottling unit using either Auto line 1 or Auto line 2( work center)

3) Also they select the BOM 1 or BOM 2( Old bottle or New Bottle) based on the availability.

4) So for selection of BOM i had created the production version using old and new bottle.

5) How to select the routing as it will be known only while converting planned orde to process order.

6) Actually i am selecting the BOM1 or BOM2(old or new bottle) based on the availability during partial conversion of

planned order to process order or by doing read pp master.

7) If that is case how to select the routing Auto line 1 or 2)while converting planned order to process order as it will known only on the begining of that day production.

waiting for the positive reply

Dear Sekar,

As per my understanding, selecting Alt BOM'S are not possible while converting plan order to Production order

1) what u can do is before converting, go to change mode os plan order & select ur Alt BOM 2

2) then convert ur plan order to Production order ur Alt 2 will get selected

3) Now as per Alt BOM 2 Production will happn

Hai Kumar,

Thanks for your reply,

So based on your reply i can select the BOM 1 or 2 based on the availability of old or new bottles before starting of

production.

But how to select the work center ( Auto Line 1 or Auto line 2) and how to assign this work center in routing

Hai Kumar,

Thanks for you reply.

In Production Version we define the selection of BOM1 or BOM2( old or new bottle) based on the availability.

But the work center Auto line 1 may be used under BOM 1 and BOM2 based on the capacity or avialbility of the line

or Auto line 2 may be used under BOM 1 and BOM 2 based on the availabilty of the line.

It that is the case how to create Production version and select the same, for work center and BOM

waiting for the positive reply.

Dear Sekar,

Sorry for my late reply

1) Just create Four PV's as per the required combination

2) while converting, just change in plan order order as per the decision

3) so production will be done as per the decision.

Hope This Solves Ur Query
