In this step, you define procedures for the automatic determination of alternative BOMs. Each procedure is represented by an application. This application controls BOM explosion in different areas of the company. For example, different BOM data is relevant to costing than is relevant to work scheduling.

The automatic determination of alternatives is controlled by settings in the material master record, as well as by the application. In the material master record, you can define how alternatives are selected in the "Alternative BOM" field. You can have alternatives selected according to:

The following criteria are defined in the application:

  • order of priority of BOM usages (selection ID)
  • priority of one alternative of an individual multiple BOM, depending on date

    You can define for each application whether the settings made in step "Define alternative determination for multiple BOMs" are active. However, these settings are only active if you define in the material master that alternatives are selected by date.

  • production versions

    If you have chosen alternative selection according to production version in the material master, you can define here for each application whether this setting is active. If you define that this setting is ignored, alternative BOMs for the material are selected according to order quantity (lot size) for the application concerned.

  • BOM status indicator

    Only BOMs that have at least this status are read for automatic determination of alternatives.

Note

The different organizational areas in a company (such as sales and distribution, costing, and so on) define which procedure (application) they want to use for exploding BOMs, depending on application-specific criteria. For this reason, please note the requirements of the individual organizational areas within your company when you define applications.

One exception to this is MRP. This area enters a selection ID, not an application.
