MRP generation as per customer specific BOM

Hi Sir / Madam,

We are struggling with customer-specific requirement. We have one material code that goes to the 3 different customer and the same material is having 3 different BOM created as alternative BOM's. so when user enter order for that customer system should generate requirement as per their BOM only and in production also same BOM should pick up.

Find below business scenario:

Material 219220571 is maintained with 3 alternative BOM's
1st alternative BOM goes to Customer - Elite Industries
2nd alternative BOM goes to Customer - Nilkamal Limited (Hosur)
3rd alternative BOM goes to Customer - Kal Polymers Div of Kal Trading Inc

Same i have enterd 3 different sales order as per customerwise
1. Sales order no. 21200019 of customer 31104443 - Elite Industries /
2. Sales order no. 21200017 of customer 31102441 - Nilkamal Limited (Hosur)
3. Sales order no. 21200020 of customer 32102275 - Kal Polymers Div of Kal Trading Inc / Canada. L5C

So when MRP generate for e.g. for sales order no. 21200019 MRP should consider 1st alternate BOM and for sales order no.21200017 MRP should consider 2nd alternate BOM same logic for sales order no.3 also.

I have mentioned in the customer name in description of the BOM for our understanding and system is taking default BOM for MRP requirement , currently there is no assignment of BOM alternative to specific customer. We want to assign BOM alternative to specific customer so that MRP will generate accordingly.

Can any one advise solution on this?

Hi Chetan

There is no simple solution for this requirement.

If you are using make-to-order, you can create BOMs specific to a sales order (transaction CS61), but you would have to create a different BOM for each new sales order received.

Another option is to develop an enhancement to automate the production version selection according to the customer.

At last, you can use segmentation, which allows you to split your production into different segments and determine that specific BOM components will be valid for a specific segment. Be aware that implementing segmentation is not simple at all and there might be license costs involved.

Hi Caetano,

Thanks for your reply. Creation of BOM's to specific sales order from transaction CS61, in this process every when we create sales order we need to create BOM for this? and who will create this BOM's or system will create BOM automatically in the background.

It is not possible to give BOM authorization to the sales team because BOM is very confidential.

Can brief on - To develop an enhancement to automate the production version selection according to the customer.
