BOM selection in Subcontracting PO

[Former Member]

Dear Guru's,

We are using subcontracting Purchase Orders. For one material we are having more than one BOM. We want to select either of them while exploding BOM in purchase order. Please suggest the settings

I have a similiar situation and I do it in this way.

1. Maintain two production versions, one for each BOM you have

2. Assign the default production version to the subcontracting info record

3. When you create subcon PO, the default production version is used. If you want to change it, go in the item level "Material Data" Tab, click "Re-explode" and choose the production version you want

Maybe there's some better way around, but that's the way I used. Hope it helps.

Dear Ken,

It is not happening. While trying ti re explode. System is not asking for another version. Waht could be the possible reason?

Dear Ken,

Thanks.....only one thing we have to do is if we want to change the BOM in existing Subcontracting PO then we have to change production version first in info record then re explode in purchase order.
