I think you can use the Alternative Group with Priority and Usage as 0% for this items.

Hi Kedar,

When qnty is 0 then why we need to add in BOM ???

you can enter that in production order, you can change qnty or delete in change order Co02 in component view

Hi Kedar

Quantities cannot be zero in bom, it the 3 component materials are alteranative materials use alternative item group. using this u can select either of the materials while doing the GI.

U have 2 strategies in this

1. By usage probability: in this case u give usage probability of this material and this material is used in that % while doing GR

2. By 100% check: in this case it uses the component which is 100% available.

The 2 one may not be useful for u , use the 1st one with probability zero for the component for which u want to keep the quantity as zero.
