Product allocation(ATP) for BOM material

[former_member720197]

Hi All,

Initially we have implemented the product allocation (ATP) functionality for the regular materials. Now our client wants to have the product allocation functionality for Bill Of Materials (BOM).

I would like to know

1. Whether we can use product alllocation for BOM materials.

2. If yes whether it is possible to do the allocation for both header and sub items.

Regards,

Hi,

You can use product allocation for the BOM material, this you can do by making the requirement class and schedule line active for PA, associated with the header material. followed by the standard configuration required for PA.

Logically, you should keep the PA active for the header material instead of sub-items. since the Sub items are part of the BOM.

In the item category config you can set the indicator to "A" for "Create delivery group", this will ensure the correct delivery date based on the availibility of both the header and sub-items.

Thanks,

Sunil
