RE: Phantoms items

Hi Pierre,


It's been a log time since we talked!

DeeDee is right. Here is another alternative if you absolutely need to keep
the standard cost of ITEM1 unchanged.

As strange as it is, BPCS cost maintenance CST100 allows entering a negative
cost! Use this "feature" as an advantage in this case. Add a dummy item with
a negative cost as a component in the BOM. The negative cost will offset the
cost of the other component when component costs are rolled up to the
parent.

Create a non-inventory dummy item, called ITEM3. Add it as a component in
the BOM for parent ITEM1. Make the standard cost of ITEM3 -$0.75. Roll up
the cost for ITEM1. Bingo!

Hi Pierre,

I'm guessing you are rolling standard or frozen cost?  In that case I
believe you'd want to remove the cost from ITEM1 since ITEM2 is your new
standard...  We don't use BPCS actual cost for our mfg parts; supposedly
actual cost is calculated via the shop order...  Hope this helps.

I would like use this technic to obsolete an item.

ITEM1 is an item rhat I would like replace by ITEM2, but when I issued a
shop order I would like use ITEM1 until I have inventory for it.

In item master : inventory type for ITEM1 is set to 0 = phantom
In bomp ITEM2 is a component for ITEM1

In the SFC module is working well with this set-up.

I got a trouble in the costing module.

ITEM1 cost is $1
ITEM2 cost is $0.75

When I do a cost roll-up: the new cost for ITEM1 is $1.75

How I can solve this cost problem? something is missing in my set-up?
