Hi,

How best to setup this requirement in SAP? Vendors supply us with a raw material. They have different brands, and they can supply us with any of them in case one stock of brand goes out of stock. How do we setup the material master? Do we set each brand as a separate material number in SAP? That would have an effect in the BOM, because the BOM does not consider the brand. If the material number is per brand, does that mean the FG BOM will have multiple versions (one version of BOM for each FG containing branded raw material)?

Appreciate all the light that you will throw at me. Thank you.
