Hello Community,
we have the following question: Company A has recently acquired Company B, and now Company B is to be integrated into the IFS system. In the past, Company B had the flexibility to change bill of material (BOM) positions in production orders when items were not available (e.g., alternative products). Since some assemblies now are produced for A, and have regulatory requirements, it is crucial to prevent parts from being replaced without the knowledge of Company A.
Testing it with Control Plan does not recognize such replacements and allows the complete posting of the production order. Even restrictions on allowed BOM changes in Site level do not lead to the desired outcome, as material positions in the Shop Order can still be easily modified.
Is there a way to achieve the desired behavior differently? How can Company A be informed or Company B prevented from making changes to material positions in the production orders?
Many Thanks,
Alex
