usage probability and alternate BOM

[Former Member]

Hi,

please tell me how to create alternate BOM ,a nd where to maintain usage probability. let say example A is the finished product and it has child items C, D.

Now i want to make child E as as alternative to C. How to maintain in BOM.

I want to give usage probability of child item E as 60 % and C as 40 %.

so please tell me how to maintain the data in BOM

Hi

For alternative BOM creation u go to CS01 trx and enter the material code and plant then system will tell u that 1 alternative already there u r adding 2 one like this u can create alternative BOM.

For giving usage probablity then go to item details of material E and there enter alternative group u can enter here anything like A1 or anything then one window will pop after u hit enter in that give priority then stratergy and usage probablity as 60% then save then go to item details of material C there enter the alternative group same as entered for E then maintain usage probablity as 40%.In this way u can maintain

HI ramakant shekap... ,

Still I have a doubt. For a particular bom of A parent material,what are all the child components?

1) A-B-C-E

(or)

2) A -B - C

If (1) is the case I have to maintain C as 40 % E as 60 %. Is it right

Then for (2) case what will ahppen.

Please explain my doubt

HI

for the first case u given it is right.

for second case u cannot right the usage probablity as there is no alternative component in the BOM. If u want to use the alternative Component and usage probablity then both the component has to be in the BOM.

Hi ramakant shekap... ,

Can u please show me the strucutr of BOM for A finished material. still I am confusing on that.I am thinking that i hacve to create 2 boms shown below. Is it correct or not

1 ) A -B-C

2) A- B -E

Hi

Structure will be as follows

A - 1 Pc Quantity is for example only

Components B - 1 Pc

C - 1 Pc 40%

E - 1 Pc 60%

if u create the order for A of 100 pc then in order the component will show as

B- 100 pc, c - 40 pc & E - 60 Pc

If u want to use C as 100 % or E as 100% every time then u go for alternative BOM as u said 1 ) A -B-C

2) A- B -E here no need to write the alternative and usage probablity

if u want to go with usage probablity then go as i written above means in same BOM will contain C & E

if any doubts pls write

Hi Vamsi,

As per my understanding you need to have two line items in BOM with Usage Probability right?

Select line item "0010" and go to its detail you find the Field "AltitemGroup"

give some number say "1"

you get any popup screen with fields Altitemgroup, Priority, Strategy, Usage Probability. fill them as per your requirements.

then Select another line item which you want to make the alternative of "0010" say "0030" repeat the procedure, i.e. mark Field "AltiemGroup" as "1" <b>by doing this you are basically grouping together two line items i.e. "0010" and "0030" with their Usage Probabilities.</b>

Hope you are clear

Hi ,

For This situation may be it is convenient apply Phanton?

-The Father Product (X), have as component

the Prod A and it is replaced by A1 , using option Discontinuation DATA

The Prod B and it is replaced by B1 using option Discontinuation DATA.

Phanthom X

item A

Item B

Phantom X1

Item A1

Item B1

Constraints

Only we can use simultaneously A with B

or A1 with B1, (We can't use A with B1 or B with A1)

Hi,

Then where we have to include E child material in BOM, without creating another BOM.

we can"t include 2 child items C and E for parent A, Because C and E are similar materials. Can u please explain me the structure of BOM for parent A .Then for parent A what are all the child items included in cs01

[Former Member]

Hi

if the items E & C are required for manufacturing A then u have to enter in the BOM A in cs02 trx. in that u r giving usage probablity so that it will take actual quantity as per usage

[Former Member]

so we have to maintain 2 boms for each alternative. is it right

[Former Member]

hi

for usage probablity u didnot to have 2 BOM. If u required then create the alternative.
