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&.
