Hi
Currently this is missing functionality. As deepak sadi u can use Alternative items in Marketing doc's ..if u want this functionality to add in B1 then u can raise a thread in this forum :

Alternative items during MRP run

Hi,
I have seen discussion on alternative items in BOM. Thanks for all for sharing your knowledge. I knew alternative items will be choosen while creating / release of production order (material availability check)
Requirement:
For material A, I am using component B as priority 1 and component C as priority 2.
During MRP run, system needs to CHECK component B first. If stock is not available for component B then system need to consider component C automatically. It should not create any planned order for component B.
Is it possible, system will check automatically alternate items during MRP run? if so kindly let me know the logic.
If not, is there is any user exit. Customer is asking this facility. Its his basic requirement.
Kindly give your suggestions....
Regards / US

Hi.
I might have typed it wrong, I think the right one is called DIMP.
As far as I know you don't have to purchase it. In the past those extensions were known as Industry Solutions, in this case Automotive and A&D.
Before you go to this complexity for interchangeable materials functionality in MRP, I recommend that you have a design review with your customer, to strengthen the point that if two materials are the same for all usage purposes, but only differ, let's say, in the source (different manufacturer). for that in SAP we would define ONLY ONE material number, with additional manufacturer part number info, and in some cases with a classified batch.

How to define alternate items for Spare Parts

Hi SAP Gurus,
My Client wants to implement Alternate items for Spare Parts. It is not a Manufacturing unit.
Actually Client wants their Service Partners to know that
ex., Material A is an alternate item to Material B and can be used for servicing without ordering for Material A.
Whether there is any Possibility to define alternate item in the Material Master.
Off course I have gone through the thread and document of Alternate items in BOM.
I would appreciate for providing Clarity on the subject.
Best Regards,
R.Velmurugan

Hi Velmurugan,
As per your requirement i think you can achieve alternate item group functionality ( as your client is not manufacturing)
You can maintain alternate material in MRP 4 view followup material field or basic data 1 old material Field than develop a ZReport extract the same as of client not manufacturing any thing.
Otherwise refer this document if you to go to Follow up material Functionality.

If you have any other query kindly revert back otherwise close the thread.

Alternate Items in BOM

Hi All,
I have the following scenario, i am creating a BOM in which for one material there are two alternate items. Here i mean if Material A is the main item, and if this not available then we need to use both Material B and Material C.
We have alternate items but this is a case of two items been required to replace one. How do I set the BOM in tis case?
Do i need to go with Alternate BOM...? That is BOM 1 with Material A and Alt BOM 2 with Material B & C.....Is this the only way..?
Thanks for your review and feedback
Regards,
Srinath V

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)
How we must config Built of Material ( Discontinuation Data or Alternative Item Group, using discont group,followup group) and MM02( discontinued parts)
We need use item A/B until the stock was consumed, so we wil use Item A1/B1, and MRP must to calculate needs based on items A1,B1
Thanks for you attention!

Different scrap quanitity for alternate item

Hi Guys,
I have alternate item in my BOM header. That is two alternate raw materials are used for manufacturing the SFG and have different scrap quantity , in this case how to create BOM?
Thanks and regards
Thamizh_g

Hi,
For the alternate items you can maintain the scrap % in material master as Assly scrap in MRP-1 view & component scrap in MRP-4 view. Also you can maintain the scrap qty in BOM also, in the BOM item level you can maintain the operation scrap. But BOM will be having the highest priority.

Mass Maintenance of BOMs with Alternate Item Groups

We plan to create BOMs containing Alternate Item Groups (+ usage probability + priority) to cover alternative parts usage.
What is the SAP solution for Mass maintenance of BOMs with Alternate item groups?
Is it possible to use (or customize) CS20 (or another transaction) to do following tasks in Mass :
- identify the BOMs containing a specific material number (where used)
- add a new item line with a new material nbr in the BOM (with same quantity, subitems, Alternate Item Group, ...)
- when required, change the usage probability of the members of the group to set the new material usage on 100% and all other alternates usage on 0%. When not required, add the new one with 0% and don't change the existing members of the group.

Dear.
Ask your ABAP Team to write BDC or LSMW program.
This will help you.

Alternate Item in Crystal Report

Hi Experts!
I am not able to manage alternate item in crystal report's detail section.
Please help me out in solving the same problem.

Hello,
Whenever you make CR in designer then you have three option
1.Select Table(SQL Table)
2.Select Procedure(SQL procedure)
3.Select Command(Which have SQL query)
Option 1:-
If you want to use Alternative code then use OALI table and make right or left join with this table.
Option :-2
Make UDF row level and set FMS for Alternative or parent item Code.

PR generation of Alternate item of BOM

Dear Gurus,
I have a BOM with alternate item group maintenance among 2 item material. Those item group has maintained with proper priority and usage. Now I have a requirement of header item and the priority 2 material has some stock. Therefore, I would like to consume the priority 2 material first and then the PR will generate of priority 1 material, by demand - stock quantity of priority 2 material against of BOM.
Looking for any help from all gurus.
Thanks in advance,
SAP PP

Dear SAP PP,
In this case, I think you should use production version to resolve it. You can create 2 production version in MRP4 view of material master data. You can assign Alternative BOM for each production version. When you create production, maybe you can choose production version what you want. Of course, one is what you need.
I hope it can help you.

Alternative Items in MRP

Hi,
Is SAP business one will consider alternative items in MRP Wizard for 9.1 PL05? If no, will there any work around solution? Please advise.
Anna

Hi Eduard,
I don't think so for Group of components as you said A1/A2 should be replaced with B1 or B2 if it is unavailable. Same requirement I faced but that was at MRP level. And logically A1 might be having some components/materials under it so how system will identify for particular component in group A1 replacement is particular component of group B1. So it would be better to maintain Alternative components by assigning it to respective BoM components.

Abu Arbab

Alternate Item Group functionality in BOM

Hi PP Gurus,
I was looking into the Alternate Item Group functionality in BOM and found it interesting for my business requirement.\
But I am facing one problem as below:
I have 3 components for Eg. A1, A2, A3 in my header material 'A'. All the three component materials are same but quailty of the 3 is different and also the standard price.
My requirement is whenever I am creating Production material for header material 'TEST_Header_Material, the system should look into A3 first (Cheapest), if not available then A2 (Cheaper) and if not then A 1(expensove of all the three).
For base quantity for A = 1EA, I have entered 1 EA for A1, A2, A3 in BOM. I have stock of A1=9, A2 = 6 and A3 = 2.
When I am creating Production Order for A = 10 EA, ,yrequirement is that the system should consider A3 first, then A2 and then A1 based upon the prority and hence should withdraw A3=2, A2=6 and A1=2 for meeting the quantity for finish product A in Production Order. But actuall the system is considering A3 but confirming it as 0, then looking into A2 again confirming it as zero and then looking into A1 and again confirming it as 0. And thus giving Missing Part list though I have sufficient quantity to cover the requirement.
That means system is only considering total quanitty.
Can you please advice?
Thank You.
Rahul.

Dear Rahul,
Priority:In this field, you define the priority of the item within an alternative item group. This determines the priority for planned
withdrawal of items. Two items are assigned to an alternative item group (A1) with the following values for priority:
Item 0060 Value for priority: 02
Item 0065 Value for priority: 01
The system reads item 0065 first.

Receive another item or alternate item when doing Receive from Production

Hi ,
Is there any way to receive another item or alternate item when doing Receive from Production in Production Module.
The scenario is that . . at production the return item may differ from the original item planned.
Thanks
Ashish Ranjan

Dear , i want to say that, i will receive the Item from Receive from Prod Form which is planned . . !
Then
I will Issue the Same Item using Goods Issue using a transit Account
Then
will receive the desired item using Goods Receipt using that particular transit Account
Now please suggest is it ok or not !

Alternate item

Hi,
I need to display alternate item at the time of issue please let me know how i can do this.
regards
Suresh S

Hi Suda,
Thanks for you reply. I have defined the bill of material for an item.
eg.
FG0001
    --> RM0001
    --> RM0002
For the item RM0002 i have defined the alternate item.
let us say.
   RM0002
>AT0001 (Alternate item.
At the time of issue of goods to production. How can i display the alternate item.
Because at the time of issues if this item (RM0002) it not available they will issue (AT0001).
One of myclient has the above requirement.
please let me know how can i do this.
regards
Suresh S

Alternate Item in BOM

We are manufacturing a assembly using alternate raw materials say RM1 or RM2 or RM3.
We want to define these three raw materials alternately in such a way that;
1.     If stock of RM1, RM2 & RM3 is available, then system should consume the RM1 first always.
2.     If required qty is 100. Stock of RM1 is 40, RM2 is 30 and RM3 is 100. In such condition, system should consume                the 40 qty of RM1, 30 qty of RM2 and 30 qty of RM3.
3.     If stock of RM1 is zero, then system should consume the stock of RM2.
4.     If stock of RM1 and RM2 is zero, then system should consume the stock of RM3.
Please guide how to create a BOM to fulfill above requirements.

Dear Sachin,
In my understanding the system allows to maintain the priority,strategy and usage probability for the items grouped under
alternative item group.
Priority:This determines the priority for planned withdrawal of items.
Example:
Two items are assigned to an alternative item group (A1) with the following values for priority:
Item 0060 Value for priority: 02
Item 0065 Value for priority: 01
The system reads item 0065 first.
*Usage probability*MRP plans these alternative material components according to probability of use.
In this field you enter a percentage to show the probability of using an object in production. Material requirements for the BOM
components are planned according to the usage probability.
The system does consumes the items as per the stock availability automatically.
So in your case even stock determination will not work,as this decides only in what sequence the stock should be consumed for
a material(from which storage location to which storage location).
Check and revert.
