BOM's from SQ to SO then to component PO to supplier

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Philj 89

Hi,  I hope somebody can help.

In BC you can create a SQ using stock items (Components) and then make order to convert to SO, from here you can then create POs to various vendors which is simple enough. 

However, the customer has projects that they work on where the component parts are ordered and shipped from the supplier direct to customer site for installation. They want to be able to do this by quoting BOM's, then make order to SO with BOM's but then create the POs for the component parts of the various vendors in the same way as above.

1stly I hope that makes sense

and 2ndly is this possible and if so, how would you go about this?

Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Kind regards

    Hi Josh,

    I realised my error and doing drop shipping works fine.

    I think the issues is now finding a way to do the drop shipment order from a product with a BOM associated to it and then been able to order all the components.

    Thanks for your help, it is much apprciated

    Hi Josh,

    Makes sense but when I try do a drop ship order the SO I get the following error "Purchase Order No. must have a value in Sales Line: Document Type=Order, Document No.=101312, Line No.=10000. It cannot be zero or empty".  

    I am obviously missing something here.  Any ideas as I can't progress from this point to see what this look like?

    So drop shipments? The standard feature works with sales lines to purchase lines. Do you explode the BOM on the SO? Specific items can be setup to have a purchasing code so the fact it is drop ship is known up front
