Hi Raj,

From the data you have provided, its very difficult to understand your exact requirement. let hope below workaround/solution best fits your requirement.

  1. Change/update the existing BOM line with new item by manually.

or

  1. Use Alternate item functionality available on Release product form.

It would be good if you explain with example.

Can you describe the process that works, and then the error message you get when a variant is involved?

Did you try Inventory management > Periodic > Bills of materials > Change BOM item ?

I tested it in R3 and works with no errors
