Alternative Items in an Alternative Item Group
An alternative item group is used to group together alternative items in a BOM. Any of the materials in the alternative item group could be included in the assembly. These items are known as alternative items in the BOM.
You can use alternative items in the following situations:
The alternative items are included with a certain usage probability.
The withdrawal posting for the reservation in the production order uses either the usage probability or the 100% availability check according to ATP logic.
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&.
