I would like your thoughts on Handling Variant BOMs without using Sites
We often have a CAT that will have BOM variations to accommodate Site/Region pack out differences (Components & effectivity dates). Currently we have looked at two methods; both have pros & cons associated with them.
Method1: Using a single CAT & controlling the variant components with an open-ended Deviation. The variant effectivity dates are controlled using multiple Changes for a single component and each is specific to a site.
Pros - Single BOM maintenance
Cons - Can be confusing
Method2: Using multiple CATS
Pros - Multiple BOM maintenance
Cons - More straightforward
