Hello everyone,
I hope you can help me with that:
We have several items that are produced by our vendors according our design/specifications. Through a purchase order we send them the BOM component (standard 541 mov) and we receive the final assembly. So far so good.
It gets complicated when we have vendor furnished material.
- If we put them in the BOM it happens that the MRP plans their requirement (purchase/production whatever) and those are expected to be sent to the vendor.
- If we do not put them in the BOM it works fine with subcontracting but it is not properly correct.
What my colleagues did was: create a BOM for production (1) to use in subcontracting and create a BOM for cost calculation (6) that contains all the item
Is there another way to identify and plan accordinly the vendor furnished material ?
I read few post about duplicating the material version and specify it in the purchase info record.
I thought we could have one BOM for internal production with all the data and one BOM for subcontracting that exclude the vendor material, but I am not sure it is ok for cost calculation... unfortunately I am not a PP expert and I am afraid I am missing something.
thanks everyone in advance!
