DP/BOM sub-product branding problem.

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have a problem in our DP/BOM process.

In our system we want to use DP/BOM for some materials. The materials that are included in a DP/BOM product tree is also sold seperately. The problem we are having in DP/BOM explosion is that it creates unwanted CVCs with the brand of the DP/BOM output material.

For eg.

We have a product A which is in Brand A bucket.

We have a product B which is in Brand B bucket.

We have a DP/BOM product C which includes product A and product B in its product tree.

When we explode DP/PPM two two new CVCs created;

A CVC of product A with Brand C profile.

A CVC of product B with Brand C profile.

As a conclusion although these products are not in Brand C category these new CVC created in Brand C. We dont want CVCs created in a category other then the products original category even if these CVCs are created as a part of DP/BOM.

So the question is; Is there a user exit/enhancement/a way to prevent/ modify these CVCs to be created in the sub-materials original Brand category. If we modify is there a way to make sure DP/BOM wil still work properly.

Thanks for any help,

Hi,

I think you might want to reconsider how it is setup. Why are two products A & B of different Brand sold under C which is under a third brand? Generally BOMs are setup under the same product family.

Hope this helps.
