    You can create as many alternate BOM / Routes as you want, mark the BOM / Route / BOM version / Route version as approved, but do not activate them.  you'll have to manually select the alternate BOM / Route version prior to firming, planning will not automatically select the alternate.
     
    If your alternates are different based on "From Qty", site, or dates, you can have multiple active & approved BOM / Route versions and the planning engine will select the correct one.  But note you can't have any overlap on those three data elements.

    Hi,
    Depending on the question you asked, it seems that you can find the method of creating a route in the documentation here: Create a production route for a product | Microsoft Learn.
    In addition, the following document explains in detail how to create an itinerary, create a BOM, and associate an operation with a BOM: D365 SCM |Let's Talk Production Control |Discrete Manufacturing |Routes & BOM|Part 8 (linkedin.com).
    Best regards,
    Kevin
