Hello there,

We are currently migrating to Axapta 3.0 SP3 from scratch. During our
implementation we go through a lot of interesting features; also some that
we would like to twist a little...

Some of our item numbers (item type = item) comes with a default
configuration. Let's say that we have "Item X", which exists as
configuration A and B.

Config A and B are interchangeable; i.e. if we cannot buy config A, we will
go for config B.

Now, in our BOM, we need 200 pcs of Item A, config A. The master scheduling
tells us to issue a purchase order, but for some reason we are not able to
buy config A, and therefore we buy config B.

Next, when we run our maste plan, we are still instructed to buy config A
and cancel the purchase order for config B.

I am looking for a way to convince Axapta, that config B is just as good as
config A. However, to the best of my knowledge, if an item belongs to a
dimension group, where "configuration" is active, Axapta will always keep a
coverage plan per dimension. You are not even able to change this setting -
which from a logical point of view is - logic ... :-)

Now, I was thinking: There must be a method somewhere in Axapta (InventDim,
InventDimParm, InventDimSetup etc.), where you can programatically change
this behaviour, so that coverage by dimension is overruled... (just as with
warehouse) ?

Has anyone faced similar challenges ?

Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance !

Best Regards,
Jens
