Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central: Bom

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Student17 25

Hello

I am currently facing a problem with Navision. To create certain devices, it is sometimes necessary to buy a purchase part which then needs to be specifically modified. This creates the problem that both the buying part and the modification part are located in the bomb. This causes the material to be ordered twice while we only need it once.
When we omit the buying part in the bom, the total price is no longer correct as only the modification cost is visible in the BOM but not the price of the original buy part.

Do you have any suggestions on how to solve this problem in Microsoft dynamics 365 Business Central?

I really appreciate any help you can provide.

    The modification of the part should be built into your Route, not your BOM.  The BOM is for the Items, the Route is for the processes.  Whether you handle the modification or your sub it out, a Route step should be created to capture the cost of the process.  This way you buy the Item via the BOM, and then modify the Item via the Route.

    One way is to create two parts one the purchase item and the second is modified part. Then let modified part consume the purchase item.
