Product Costing - Alternative BOM

Former Member

Hi Gurus,

I created an BOM alternative 1 using material XXXXXXXX back in May then last week i created a new BOM alternative 2 using the same material XXXXXXXX with additional components. However , I flagged alternative 1 for deletion.

When i tried to run the costing for this material i was unable to and got a message stating that there are three possibilities i need to check on

in the BOM header

1. the validity period

2. The Lot size range

3. The Bill of Material status

When I check the first two options given both the validity period & lot size looked good. When i checked Bill of Material status - even though i had alternative 1 flagged for deletion it was still active. So i changed the status from active to inactive and the costing run worked.

However, this does not make sense to me because you can have more than 1 alternative BOM's active at one time. When i was running the costing run i precisely choose which BOM alternative i want to cost.

Please can someone help me understand why this may have happened?

Best Regards,

Noopers

I still dunno what really caused it but i removed the active flag and made the first BOM inactive.
