Error Message while adding material in BOM

Dear All,
A raw material (A) is in the BOM as on date. A new material (B) which is a new development is to be used henceforth. I have inventory of A which can be consumed for the next 4 to 5 months.The material B is added as an alternate to A in the BOM,with 100 percent probability to B and zero percent to A. This is done to facilitate 2 motives.
1.To have auto generated PR for material B from the system, when the MRP run is done during the month.
2.To issue the material A to production based on Production order, which is based on BOM.
Also I Block the material A for further procurement by setting a special status to the material in the material master.This is done to ensure that no further PR & P.O is generated for material A.
After a month's time I am creating a BOM, for a new variant, where this material A or B is to be used. As per my earlier logic, I try to put both the materials as alternative to each other,with the 2 motives as mentioned above.
I am stopped by the system for including material A in the BOM,by an error message since it is blocked for procurement.
A warning message is welcome but not this error message.
Can anyone tell me how this can be done.And whether the procedure adopted in this scenario is a optimised one? Any other way to handle such a business situation?
Regards,
Aditya

Hi Aditya,
I think you can use production version .
You can create a production version with alternate bom1 with mateiral B.
Another version with alternate bom2 wtih material A.
Second option you can use discontinuation process with follow up material

  • Error Message while adding Item in Item Master Data- [Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 10.0][SQL Server]Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value 's008 01' to data type int. (CINF)

    Dear Experts
    I am getting the following error message while adding item in Item Master data. I have modified the following SBO_SP_transactionNotification in SQL server after that could not able to add the item
    ALTER proc [dbo].[SBO_SP_TransactionNotification]
    @object_type nvarchar(20),                      -- SBO Object Type

    begin

        where  IsNull(T0.Price, '0') = '0' and T0.DocEntry = @list_of_cols_val_tab_del)
       BEGIN
        SELECT @ERROR=1,@ERROR_MESSAGE='Please insert the price !'
      END
    end
    -- Select the return values
    select @error, @error_message
    end

    Hi Rathna,
    Just put the SP like this, without the -- before the IF. A -- marks the line as a command therefore you need to uncomment and it will work.
    IF @OBJECT_TYPE = '59' AND (@TRANSACTION_TYPE = 'A' or @TRANSACTION_TYPE = 'U')
      BEGIN
       IF EXISTS(
        SELECT T0.Price FROM IGN1 T0
        where  IsNull(T0.Price, '0') = '0' and T0.DocEntry = @list_of_cols_val_tab_del)
       BEGIN
        SELECT @ERROR=1,@ERROR_MESSAGE='Please insert the price !'
      END
    end
    Hope it helps

  • Time Machine error message while restoring..."an error occurred while adding a recovery system to the destination disk

    I had to change my hard drive in my MBP 15".  I use Time Machine on a Time Capsule for backup.  I am booting up my laptop with a bootable USB key.  I have partitioned my new hard drive (bigger than the old one) and named it Macintosh HD (same as the old one).  I select the option to restore from Time Machine Backup.  I select one of my latest backup....select my destination drive...the restore process starts but stop within minutes with the following message.  "An error occurred while adding a recovery system to the destination disk"  It then prompts me to restart....
    I need your help...what can it be.
    Thanks

    I've encountered this issue when the Time Machine was encrypted with FileVault.
    Article:  HT4718
    Additional Information
    Please note that OS X Recovery must be present on the computer's startup volume in order to use FileVault 2. Using RAID partitions or a non-standard Boot Camp partition on the startup disk may prevent OS X from installing a local Recovery system. See "OS X: Some features of Mac OS X are not supported for the disk (volume name)" for more information.
    What seems to work, is reinstalling the OSX from the internet, and then using migration assistant to pull the user from the time machine backup external when logged into a temporary administrator user to move the original user back over.
    Perhaps if you're stubborn, what would work is the following from the same article:
    What to do if the installer warns that no Recovery System can be created
    Some disk partition configurations may result in the OS X installer reporting that it could not create a Recovery System. In these situations, even if you are permitted to continue the install, you may want to quit the installation and create an external, bootable OS X hard drive with a Recovery System, first. You can continue your OS X upgrade on your computer's startup drive after creating an external Recovery System.
    Your storage device must have at least 13 GB available (after formatting) to install OS X Lion or later and a Recovery partition.
    These steps erase and reformat the storage device. This article instructs you on setting up a storage device to use the GUID partition scheme and the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format, which are required to install OS X and a Recovery partition on your external storage device. You should back up any important files that are on the device to a different drive.
    This procedure installs a version of OS X that is compatible with the Mac it was created with. Using this OS X system with a different Mac model may produce unpredictable results.
    Your computer's serial number is sent to Apple as part of this process to help authenticate your request to download and install OS X Lion.
    All of this information was collected by browsing through the public articles on the Apple Support website.

    While making a backup copy in Itunes of my Iphone I receive the following error message: While making a backup copy of this iPhone (-35) an error has occurred.  Do you want to continue with altering this Iphone? When you continue al the material on this Iphone will be lost.
    I reinstalled iTunes but that dit not help. After synching iTunes with my iPhone it also asks to authorize my pc and when i Click on ok, it says it is already authorized.
    Please can somebody help me, so I can make backup.
    Greetz,
    Derk

    It's likely that your backup is corrupt. Try deleting the backup, then right click on the name of the phone in iTunes and choose "back up". To delete go to iTunes Preferences, Devices tab. Highlight and delete the most recent backup. Note that sometimes deleting this way leaves some garbage around that can still interfere with a new backup, so you should verify that the backup folder is empty.
    from: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
    The folder where your backup data are stored varies depending on the computer's operating system.   Make sure the backup folder is included in your periodic data-backup routine.
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac:  ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP:  \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
    Windows Vista and Windows 7:  \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press the Return key.
