Posted on by RayS2020 20

Hi,

We have a situation that we Purchase a computer (Desktop) from a vendor and sell it

This computer is one Big Kit and have 5 or more component's ( Motherboard, Graphic card ........) , each one have his own serial number.

When we purchase the computer it is one item to be on the PO (no other items needed)

But we receive it to our inventory it should have serial number for each of those components , how can we setup the item and record serial on the PO side and selling side as well for the components

Do we have to have the 5 lines on the PO and sales order to record their serial numbers or there is another way.

I have the same question (0)

    Have a customer who does this but with servers. Each PO line has a “child” set of lines making up the components with serial and in some cases lot numbers too. Warehouse receipt only caters for the components as they sell either the component or build a new server from those components. This has been done as a development.

    Standard way is as you’ve described. Some other view points on this topic:

    If the BOM is already known can you use assembly BOM. A production BOM would indicate you are building it. On sale of the finished item if it is assembly to order for example, you will be asked for component serials at pick stage.

    The right way to go here is dependent on your warehouse process. Item tracking is useful but adds in an extra layer of user processing. Are you assembling new items based on components in the warehouse or just selling already finished goods? In the case of the former, item tracking is a good idea.
