Hello,
We are a distribution company that also does some light assembly operations. We need to track finished good and component items by lot as they are sold to customers or in the case of components purchased from vendors. We are currently analyzing the (inventory) GP core BOM features and our initial discovery causes us to believe that the features provided in the inventory module will satisfy our lot trace needs. However, we also want to “kick the tires” on the manufacturing module as we believe there are many other features there that we can benefit from.
Based on my read of the information available at the link provided below and my cursory read of the manufacturing module user guides I don’t believe that items produces via a manufacturing BOM allow for lot trace of component / finished goods as does the core (inventory) BOM. Is that correct? Also, can the two (Core and Manufacturing) BOM coexist in the same GP environment? It may be that we can l use the core BOM and lot trace for items that we need to trace and also benefit from the other features in the manufacturing module.
Thank you.
