Hi,
We produce chemicals and each part has its Product Structure and some components-part type for these are Purchased (raw)-have alternante components. We use the screen Simulate Material Availability though we can’t seem to view the availability of the alternante component and there are no options to change one component for its alternante and view the overall availability.
Cheers !
The cost distribution of the material is defined by expanding the material line on the shop order as per below. On the Product Structure there's a separate tab instead.
Hi
Looks like there is no straightforward solution to your requirement off the shelf.
If the main component is not fulfilling the required quantity demand you may follow the below steps to plan for the Alternate.
In the latest version I could see that there is an option for you to identify whether there is an alternate for the component.
(If you don’t see this option that is fine, you can still manually search in the below window)
Search the Alternate part in the IPAP window to check whether you could satisfy the required quantities from this Alternate.

Thanks a lot, even though it’s not a perfect solution it still solves our issue.
Cheers!
