Jürgen,
Our idea is utilize the texts of BOM to describe some specific characteristics of this material.
For example:
1000000 - Steel
Text of BOM 1
- Steel 15 milimeters
Text of BOM 2
- Steel 20 milimeters
Text of BOM 3
- Steel 30 milimeters
The purpose of use the text in purchase requisition is warn the vendor about the information related to material that will be provided. The customer does not want to create several material codes or usevariant configuration funcionallity.
Thanks
Gian
