[Odoo v9]- Alternative raw materials in a BoM

Question

Hi everyone,
I want to build a product which consists of raw materials that have alternatives. To make it simple :
Product A has a BoM. Its consists of :
Component01
component02
component03 OR component04
No matter if i choose Comp03 or comp04 the result will be the exact same product.
Is there any way to do this with odoo? I mean to create a BoM which has alternatives.
And also if i have a sales order of product A can odoo check the components that are neede to built it and if there is no compo

Hi,
you can't do BoM with alternatives in standard Odoo, regretfully. What you can do:
Create 2 different BoMs for a single product
Odoo would take automatically the first found*
You may change a BoM in a manufacturing order manually.
* You may customize it in a code level: have a look at the method onchange_product_id of the model mrp.production. Here you may introduce some criteria to select an appropriate one
