Alternative materials

Question

hello everyone
would like to get help with doubt "how to do include alternative material" in the BILL OF MATERIALS ?
example:
material A and material B there are alternative
why i do need this operation ? because, when material A i'ts over, automatically material B can be substitute

so, i don't know how to do this ?

Christoph Farnleitner · Answer

Manufacture 'Material B' into 'Material A' (assign a BoM out of 'Material B' to 'Material A'), or
create a new Product 'Material', assign two BoM - one manufacturing 'Material' out of 'Material A', the other manufacturing 'Material' out of 'Material B', or
just use multiple BoMs directly for the final Product.
Most meaningful way to go depends on how often 'Material A' and 'Material B' is used in other BoMs and how complex your BoMs are in general.
