Floor stock on BOM but not on pick order

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 15

Hi,

My client has certain articles that need to be visible on the BOM and production order, but that he doesn't want to scan every time during picking.

Eg. a BOM requires 5 screws. My client has a box of screws on his table and everytime the box runs out, he takes a new box out of the stock and puts this new box on his table. He can take screws out of the box without scanning. When this new box is taken out of the stock and placed on the table, the stock changes and MRP is done on this stock item.

The problem here is that these 5 screws need to be on the production order (just as text would be perfect) but that it is not required to scan every production order for this type of items.

As a reference, some BOM's have 22 of these "special" articles, while there are only 30 articles in total.

Any ideas?

Regards,

Kevin

    The screws could be a non-inventory item type. The box of screws can be another item and that is an inventory type item. Use an item journal for the box depletion

    If you set the ‘Flushing method’ field on the item card of the screw to either forward or (more commonly) backward, you will not need to pick the item.

    Production will simply consume the amount of screws listed on the BOM from the ‘open shop floor bin’ on the item card.

    You can move boxes of screws from a stores bin to the back flush bin when needed. 

    If you do use this method, you will need to do periodic stock counts to correct inventory levels for wastage but otherwise there is greater costing and inventory accuracy for minimal admin.
