Posted on by 8
Dears all,
 
 
i see in documentation there is a limitation for using item in planning i wonder before using variant we have a product make to order based on customer needs mainly by sizes as variant each variant will have there BOM and Routing by the way we demand on planning based on sales order by different location.
my question for using variant or item card depend on the following:
1.using variant and pretty sure it will give the functionality just like the items.
2.we have a multiple sizes that will be created down the road i just wanna make sure if i have used item variant i would face some limitation.
3.unit of measurement conversion will be added for each variant.
 
your prompt response is truly appreciated.

    While item variants can handle different sizes and configurations, they can add complexity to your planning process. You'll need to ensure that your planning system can accurately forecast and plan for each variant.

    One limitation you will have is that you can have 1 default bom/routing per item specified on the item card, regardless of how many variants you have. Something to keep in mind.
