Bundle or assembly. Do I need to create a BOM?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 2,438

Hi All, 

I have a product line which I sometimes outsource the assembly process to the 3rd party and sometimes, I assembly it in-house.  For both processes, I buy raw materials and have them snap the pieces together. 

1.  For the outsource, do I need to create a BOM to record the assembly process?  Like, create a job which is debit WIP and credit inventory.  Then when the product is finished, debit Finished Goods and credit WIP.  Also, when it comes to cost, should I create an item group for this process and use the Standard Costing Method?  Is there a simple way to handle this? Ultimately, I'm not manufacturing anything. 

2.  For the in-house assembly, do I need to create BOM?  Is there an assembly or a bundling process? If so, how to set it up?   Thanks so much!

    P.S. What is called "(3) Sales BOM explosion (customized)" in the blog is now implemented out of the box in the upcoming "Armanino" revenue recognition module.

    1) Yes. The BOM includes a service from the subcontractor and eventually materials provided to the subcontractor for free.

    2) Yes. I have heard of 5 ways of bundling / kitting and all 5 require a BOM one way or another:

    - Production order

    - Kanban flow

    - BOM inventory journal

    - Retail kits

    - "Armanino revenue recognition" bundles in the sales order
