Hi all! The product we sell includes a third party license label that ships separately from the product. We believe that we will need to create two part numbers to meets our objectives. Details below.
Is there a more elegant than creating two part numbers for the same item? The two-part solution requires us to remember to add "Part B" as a separate line item on the sales order. We are concerned that there is risk for error. But it's the best we have been able to do to meet the objectives, and it solves other errors in pricing that have occurred.
Thanks!
The two part numbers representing this one license label would have the following characteristics:
Part A:
- Resides in the product BOM, and
- has a cost.
Part B:
- Is what we purchase from third party,
- is added to sales orders and shows up on packing lists,
- is pulled from inventory at time of shipment, and
- has no cost or price.
Our objectives are:
- License labels are a separate line item on the packing list (for customer’s Receiving department)
- Can be shipped separately if the main product is shipped from a different location
- Pulls licenses from inventory
- Searchable/Where-Used in Ax
- Will raise a flag about license cost during the product costing/pricing process

Make it a supplementary item (or even a kit). The Supplementary item configuration key controls access to information about supplementary item agreements. When this configuration key is enabled, the Supplementary items folder under Procurement and sourcing / Inventory management / Sales and marketing > Setup, and fields and buttons related to the feature in other forms, are made available. Enable this key in the License configuration form.
See for example http://dynamicsteaching.com/supplementary-sales-items-in-ax-2012/ or https://timsaxblog.wordpress.com/2015/08/07/supplementary-sales-items-in-ax-2012-r3/
Be aware also of this relatively new feature https://guyterry.wordpress.com/tag/supplementary-items/
May I ask what the purpose of raising a flag about license cost is necessary, if there is no cost associated with the license?
