Determination of Alternative Bills of Material

A material can have several BOMs of different usages. There may be several alternatives for each usage in the case of multiple BOMs .

You can allow several usages for equipment , but you can only create one BOM for each usage, in other words you cannot create a multiple BOM for a piece of equipment.

Define in this section:

• the priority with which the individual BOM usages are to be observed

• the alternative that is to be selected within a usage

Determination of the BOM usage or the alternative BOM is realized in the following steps:

• The BOM selection ID and other features defined by the BOM status are determined by the particular application ID of the user department in each case. A BOM usage priority order is connected with selection ID.

• The preferred BOM usage for a selection ID is determined by a priority order.

• An alternative must be specified within the BOM usage in the case of multiple BOMs. The SAP System checks the alternative selected by
