Manufacturing Product Substitute

The Manufacturing Product Substitute app allows manufacturers to easily add or replace substitute products in Bills of Materials (BoMs) and Manufacturing Orders (MOs). It helps maintain smooth production when materials are unavailable by managing alternative components efficiently. Users can control substitute access, add replacements directly in MOs, and improve flexibility without changing the original BoM. This app enhances productivity, ensures continuity, and simplifies manufacturing operations.



Features
