Use of Alternate Components in BOM for Production

258 Views

Hi Experts,

We implement for a customer who are manufacturers of Electronic Products.

There are possibilities of producing a Finished Products with an Alternate Child Parts some times.

Is it possible to automate this.

More examplified below.

XYZ is a Finished Product whose Components are A, B, C.

To produce the same XYZ, the components used may be

A1, B, C or

A, B, C1 or

A1, B, C1. So there are binary concept number of combinations.

Since the components are more in number & there are chain alternates (i.e. if one changes other has to be changed), it is not practically possible to maintain many number of BOMs for a single Finished Product.

Is there any way implement this scenario upfront.

Advance Thanks & Regards
