Bill of materials configuration to create more than one item

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 15

Rookie question i'm afraid but looking for advice on the best way to configure a bill of material, i'm think i can do it using per series but thought i'd seek some guidance here.

The scenario is the business has a product supplied and used in litres, but additional costs are added through the system that need attaching/tracking at different points of its life such as a filling charge and a container drum.

i would like to configure a bill of materials to effectively merge the costs of the components so at point of delivery we only need to track 1 item.

if we consider the parent item A and the components B, C, and D

Upon assembly of the bom i would like it to create 200 litres of Item A from:

200 of item B

200 of item C

1 of item D

if it was just items B & C it would be easy as a 1 to 1 ratio, its that item D would only a portion per item A which is where i am unsure i can configure this.

thank you for you help.

    is this bom or Formula ?
    if you are in Process manufacturing you need to use formula not the BOM.

    Hi B_Cornwall,

    Yes create BOM for item A as finished Good with B and C as bom raw materials. Can you please tell me what kind of Item D is and what is the unit of measure of this item?

    Up until this point I have only ever used BOM rather than formula. Its technically part of our supply chain processes. due to way our business orders supply of certain products.

    I have tested using a bom and and by applying a value per series the results are as i require and solves some issue for use in master planning, but i will do some reading up on Formula before implementing in live in case formula offers a better solution.

    thank you

    Item D is effectively a container. (Drum in this case)

    I have created the items and configured them in a test environment and they per series functionality gives me the required outputs and financial balances, the only risk is if users manually overwrite the values to less than the series at which point item D is not included in the Lines, which is a manageable risk where we apply min multiple stock values.

    thank you for your reply, it was helpful.
