Team,
Our production process is complex...to produce one FG we need SFG items in primary and decor (design) level..in decor level also we have different process (2 or 3) which means for one SF we have 3 different sub. codes ..but in FG BOM we have updated only one SF reference and others are not in BOM...as are doing the planning out side SAP..planners are manually checking the stock and updating the scheduling file.
Now we are planning to run MRP for net requirement calculation..is there any standard function in SAP to solve it,,we need to maintain different SFG codes...can we maintain all the sub. SF codes in FG BOM then how MRP will run???
we cannot maintain alternate BOM ..is there any suggestion other than alternate BOM??
i know there is a function called material substitution ..is there any in ECC like that??
thanks for the help....

Hello
You can maintain all the components on the same BOM as alternative items.
Please take a look on the following link for more details about this functionality:
Alternative Items in an Alternative Item Group - BOMs (PP-BD-BOM) - SAP Library
The information below provided on this link explains how can you use this functionality:
You can use alternative items in the following situations:
- Alternative items with a usage probability
The alternative items are included with a certain usage probability.
- Material requirements planning (MRP) uses the usage probability to determine dependent requirements for the materials.
- In the production order, dependent requirements are converted to a reservation.
The withdrawal posting for the reservation in the production order uses either the usage probability or the 100% availability check according to ATP logic.
- Alternative items for information
You can enter an alternative item for information only. For example, the item is only relevant to missing parts. The usage probability for the item is 0&.

Thanks Mr.caetano for the details,
It seems that this is a good option to deal with substitute items in BOM…. Is there any option to get the net requirement though we will keep usage probability is zero. Below is the scenario
Is this possible?
Thanks for the help.

Hello
On the standard MRP, this is not possible. If you are using the industry solution DIMP, there is a functionality called interchangeability of parts. See the link below for more details:
