Assembly BOMs -- Invoicing for Partial Shipments

Posted on by JE-20081519-0

Hi:

I'm trying to review how partial shipments and invoicing for Assembly Bills of Material (BOMs) are handled in Business Central, especially for orders released in stages.

The Assembly Policy is "Assemble to Stock".

What is the process for invoicing partial shipments of Assembly BOMs, such as billing for half of a BOM when only part of an order is shipped?

How does this impact billing and order management in BC?

Thanks!

John

Assembly BOMs -- Invoicing for Partial Shipments

Hello,

In Business Central, when using the "Assemble to Stock" policy for Assembly BOMs, partial shipments and invoicing are handled similarly to standard inventory items. The assembly is pre-built and stocked before the sales order is fulfilled. If only part of the order is shipped (e.g., half of the BOM quantity), BC allows you to post a partial shipment, and then invoice only the shipped quantity.

The system tracks shipped vs. invoiced quantities, so billing reflects actual delivery.

This ensures accurate revenue recognition and inventory management. However, careful coordination is needed to ensure assembly orders are completed and available in stock before partial shipments are posted, especially when fulfilling staged or split orders.
