Reserving component items when creating Assembly order to stock

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by vinsona85 175

Afternoon All,

So i have created an assembly BOM for a specific item. I have sku's created for all component items and have then run planning WS to create and receipted Purchase Orders. I then created a Sales order for qty 1 of the Assembly BOM item and now. as expected. the 'qty to assemble to order' shows all the component items that need to be picked in order to complete this order. However i have couple of queries..

a). the assembly order is reserved against this sales order, but the component items are not, meaning if i have multiple orders then whichever order is picked first will 'take' the stock? Is this correct? and if so how do i reserve component items so that the first order reserves the stock even if i place future orders without having to reserve each component line (could be 30 component items),

b). How can I tell from the sales order if the stock has been picked and is ready to be shipped without opening the assembly order.

TIA

Andy

    Hello

    By setting your component with reserve = always, then system will reserve it on inventory.

    Next to this, I am not sure what you mean as you are using assembly to stock. So at sales order level, what could be helpful is to check with final assembled if item is in inventory, and you can check that at factbox level

    Hi Jerome,

    Apologies, I actually meant 'assembly to order' not 'stock' - i got distracted. And yes on the sales order line i did see the 'reserve' (default 'optional) but i didn't realise this was for components items, Ii read it as the Assembly BOM item. I will change to 'always' and re-test. Thanks! Andy.

    So just changed to 'always' and yes it now reserves the Assembly BOM Item, but it appears it still wont reserve the actual component items, the only way i can reserve is to go onto each component line and then individually reserve, unless I'm missing something of course.

    Hi

    What I mean here is to set reserve = always at (components) item card level and try again, your component should be reserved against your inventory or open purchase order that you created with your req worksheet step.

    Is this helpful?

    Ahh i see, i didn't even know this was an option as i was looking on the SKU, not the item card itself!. This appears to be reserving now. I need to carry out some further testing but this looks like this may work.

    Thanks again :)
