Dear gurus,

For a semi finished material suppose if we have 3 or more alternative BOM s , is there any possibility of selecting required alt BOM ( all alt BOM s are of same lot size,and same valid dates) during MRP run, similarly while sending this material for sub contracting is there a possibility of selecting required alt BOM in subcontracting purchase order

Hi,

This is not possible. Based on the selection method defined in MRP 4 view the alternative Bom is automatically chosen by the system. For detailed explanation on selection method, hit f1 from that field.

but you can change the production version manually in the planned order, therby influencing the system to choosea different BOM. But for MRP it chooses through the selection method in MRP 4 view.

Even if you select Manual selection of PV in Opl8 and choose selection by production version in Mrp4 view. system will select the first valid PV and create planned order.

but in this setup if you create a manual production order system will ask prompt you with all PVs to select a particular one.

But one short cut is to run MRP, change the PV in planned order and re run MRP with planning mode 2 "re-explode BOM and routing"
