Re: BOM logic

don't know if this helps or not. we have a similar problem where we put a 
'standard' spring in our bill of material, primarily for costing reasons. when 
the shop calibrates the unit the select from several different springs, each 
having a little different strength. basically they pick the spring that is 
required to make the unit calibrate properly. these springs are  ordered on a 
minimum balance method and we simply don't try to identify which spring was 
used on which unit. then again, bearings might cost more than springs!

Hi all,
we need to use alternative items in BOM -
e.g. there are 2 allmost the same bearings, each of them can be used in product 
on the same position,
and we use that one, which is on the stock.


Our BOM is authorized by customer, we can maintain list of material in SFC500, 
and then we could see in history, what was issued.

I don't like very much idea of using material methods in BOM,
now we have only one BOM per product.
Our BOM is rather complicated - up to 8 level.

Any ideas?

TIA
