Dear
Please find below the answers of your question ;
1.Having 2-3 BOM of the same FERT/HALB with alternate Raw Materials. ; Goto CS01-Enter Plant-Enter Material -Enter Usage and List down all the items in frist Alternative .Again to create Alternative 2 and so on , you need to go CS02 with same menu path -System will automatically take the Alternative 2  or you can copy Alternative 1 if you have similar items with additional new items..
2. Selection of Specific BOM for Process Order depending on the Availability / Requirement ; As far as MRP is concern , BOM selection  and explosion of BOM for depdent , needs to have BOM Selection methods  Blank , 1,2,3 in MRP4 view .If you have maintained Producton version with all those aternative  with proper validity and lot size , then MRP will explode as per lot size and valididrt depeding on the order qty  or you can also create demand MD61 with Production Version based on the avalabity of BOM [MD61-Enter User parametes -Scheculie Tab -Goto Settings-Production Version -Enter PV with spefic BOM based on availablity ]   and then run MRP in MD02-NETCH ,3,1,1,3,2 .Howver , you can also select this production version manually while creation of Process order  based on the Order Type Depent Parameters in OPL8-Select Process Order Type-Goto Detals-Here Master data tab -Select Production Version -Keep it 1-Manula Selection .Remember , as sequence , MRP will select the frist PV listes in MRP4 view of Material master if it does not find proper lot size and validity.
3.Creating Issue Slip / Reservation for the Specific BOM. ; Generally , MMD/Store will be given Reservation Number  and they will chekc in MB51 for open reservation for Goods Issue and carry out MIGO-261.Frosm Shop Fllor you can try Pick List  or you can print Process Order Print out in COP1 or MD4C print out also .Otherwise develope customs Forms as per the information permissible from you business to store .
4. Issuing Material accordingly.; It will happen in MIGO-261 or automatcally based on Backflkashing in MRP2 view -Always back flash so that at the confirmation time in co15/c011 , you can automatically goods issue the material .
5.Booking consumption accordingly ; It is Process Order Cycle from Releasing of Process order to till Goos Recipt of Process Order in MIGO-101.You can also use Auto GR based on the Control Key set up in Master Recipe which triggers the Auto GR.
