Hello All
I am new to Business Central and hoping that you will be willing to help me with what I think is a relatively complex scenario by advising a good way to deal with it. I have come into a business where unfortunately there is very little knowledge of the existing Business Central system so would appreciate any guidance or assistance.
Sales Order 1:
90 x Manufactured Product A
Of these 90 Products 20 have an Upgrade X only
Of these 90 products 20 have an Upgrade Y only
Of these 90 products 10 have an upgrade of X and Y
90 x Product A have a unique serial number
Product A has a BOM
Upgrade X has its own BOM (sub assembly)
Upgrade Y has its own BOM (sub assembly)
Sales Order 2:
20 x Manufactured Product B
Of these 20 Products 10 have an upgrade Z
20 x Product B have a unique serial number
Upgrade Z has its own BOM (sub assembly)
Production Orders / Capacity / Batch
I can only manufacture 25 x Product A or B per week (5 per day)
I want to split my orders into production batches of 25, bearing in mind that this would cover 2 x sales orders.
ie. 1 order might need several production orders OR several orders might need a single production order!
Purchasing / Stock / MRP
We operate a Just in Time production facility and I want to order via MRP once per week, ie. once for each batch.
Other complication (low priority issue)
in an ideal scenario I would like to be able to "allocate" the Upgrade X, Y or Z to the appropriate serial no. for the product to which they relate.
Could anyone suggest how I might be able to do this?
Feel free to ask for any more information if necessary.
Thanks in anticipation.
Neil
