By: ANDI (Seetharaman A. Rajaram) – Senior Consultant
Please find the steps to guide you through the process of handling outsourcing as a part of the Assembly Process.
Step 1:
- Parent Item: Create an Assembly Bill of Material (BOM) for the final product/Finish Good
- For example: (Part no/Part name: 10000-RS/ Flower Assembly)
- Child Items:
- Flower Leaf (part No: 10001-L)
– 8 Nos. - 10002-S
Flower Stick Assembly 1 No
a. Stick Assembly
- Child Item: Flower Stick (Part No: 100021-S)
- Add a cost for Labor charge for Assembly of Parent item (10000-RS)
- Create a Resource
- Define a labor cost and add labor cost to the assembly (outsource charge)
Step 2:
Processing Orders
1. Create Sales order for part no: 10000-RS/ Flower Assembly (This creates an Assembly order automatically when all the Assembly setup are in place)
- Location: MAIN
2. Create Purchase Order to “Vendor A” for Flower (part no/part name: 10001-L/ Flower Leaf)
- Location: MAIN
- Post Receipts (Ship to: Deliver the flower to “Vendor B”) and Post Vendor Invoice
3. Create Purchase Order to “Vendor B” for Stick Assembly (part no/part name: 10002-S / Flower Stick Assembly)
- Location: MAIN
- Post Receipts for Assembled Flower
- Post Purchase Invoice
Note: Now, BC will have stock for 10001-L/ Flower Leaf and 100021-S / Flower Stick
Step 3:
1. Post Sales Shipment (Consumption and output will be registered automatically in the automatically created Assembly order)
2. Post Sales Invoice
