Supplementary items in BC?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 147

Hi,

How do I add supplementary items (as it is called in F&O etc) in Business Central?

I would like to automatically add like a free information booklet or a paid for supplementary product added by default when someone buys a machine or whatnot.

Thanks for any input on where this function is hiding (if anywhere in BC!) or how to achieve this without too much code 

Kind regards

I have the same question (0)

    hi

    look this

    learn.microsoft.com/.../production-how-to-create-production-boms

    or you have to have a customisation developed

    Hi, thanks for answering. I thought about that but I wanted something more similar to supplementary items. However now that I think it through again perhaps it is a good solution with Assembly + assemble to order. I can not quite see how that solution is lacking if set up correctly with picks and everything. I will look into it :)

    Hi, I think Assembly Management is a good choice.

    Zhu, that is a great guide that I have not read before. Thanks!

    I think that I got fixated on finding something exactly like supplementary items and not considering the full toolbox in BC properly.

    I do not think that item variants is quite it.

    Thanks for the input everyone. I will close this now :)
