Concept
Using the Substitute Components page, you can enter a substitute item for the bill component.
You can assign any number of substitute items to each bill component and you can assign the
same substitute item to more than one component. The substitute item quantity is the quantity
needed to replace the full component quantity. The quantity can differ from the component usage
quantity.
If you are using Bills of Material, use a manufacturing item; if you are using Oracle Engineering,
use an engineering or a manufacturing item. Oracle Master Scheduling/MRP reports these
substitutes on some planning reports, such as the MRP Detail Report. Oracle Work in Process
does not consider substitute items in its pick lists.
Planning bills and model, option class, and planning components cannot have substitute
components.
In this topic, you will assign substitute components.
