Automatic alternative BOM selection

[alex_alex85]

Hi

I have a few levels BOM. Structure is following

Requirement is: I need different way of BOM selection during creating Planned order:

1. If I use BOM1 for Material A, than on lower level BOM1 should be chosen for material B

2. If I use BOM2 for Material A, than on lower level BOM2 should be chosen for material B

Is it possible to setup it with this direct connection.

Other methods like Selection method, Lot-size procedure does not work. Because both options are used for completely the same conditions.

Thanks

Firstly, when running the MRP, the BOM selected will be defined in Plant parameters.

SPRO->Production->Plant Parameters->Carry out overall Maintenance of Plant Parameters.

The system will choose the 01 BOM as default.

And if you create two production version for B (0001 use BOM 01 and 0002 use BOM 02), and the system will choose the 0001 as default, you should change the production version manually.

Another solution:

According to your requirement, you can consider to using new material numbers, for example A1 B1, since the components updated, you can consider the Header Material was change as well.
