If NO selection mechanism has been defined and several

alternatives exist, the FIRST one found is pulled. !!!!

Please also refer the attached notes

hi

SAP considers:

lot size (you can define it in CS02)

explosion date of BOM (OPPP)

production version (you have to create infor records, source lists and quota arrangement - and you can assign PV to QA)

Hi

i think QA is applicable for ..if we have more than one vendors..

we have one vendor for this sub con material.. but this sub con material have 1 and 2 alternative boms

system always taken automatically altnative1..if want to alt 2..add all compents manually in P.O..

I am trying to avoid manual enter..

thanks and regards

In addition to that you can manually put the components by clicking on the componenets push button, in the componenet screen give the componenet material code and the quantity.
