Modelling BOM when Raw Material has different Brand

Hi All,

I have a Raw Material (e.g Butter) which i purchase in different Brands from the same supplier. I am planning to use item variant (based on Manufacture) to model the different brands of the item.

When i use that approach, while creating BOM, i am not able to select the Template Item. So i end up creating one BOM per brand of Raw material, which is increase the complexity as we need to manage lot of BOMs for the same Finished Good.

How to Create Single BOM when we have Raw Materials which are of different Brands?

Thanks,
Saravana

Have a look at item alternative:
