Greetings,
I would like to run a scenario by the experts. Can we have an Assembly BOM with negative Quantity for a component? The scenario here is that we purchase item F301 which comes with item F401 attached. So when we make assembly F101, we remove F401 and attach F201 and put F401 back to inventory. Screenshot below.
Now I tested this in NAV by purchasing items F301 and F201, then created an assembly order for Item F101. The Assembly Order posted fine. The negative consumption of Item F401 posted as Type = Assembly consumption in the ILE but with a positive quantity and reflects on the Item card as Quantity on hand. But what concerns me is that NAV natively does not allow us to enter a negative quantity in the 'Quantity per' field for an Assembly BOM component. This example shown here was migrated through Rapid Start with all validations turned on and it brought it in just fine, no errors. Has anyone encountered this situation before? Is it safe to set up the Assembly BOM this way and/or do you have other recommendations for handling this scenario optimally?
Much Thanks
Kind Regards,
