Re: Kits into Stock

We were setting up Kits to ship to a consigned warehouse last year using 
DRP in V6.1.01 and one of the scenarios caused the Kit parent to be the 
part that was stocked in the destination warehouse.

This wasn't what we wanted, so I don't have notes on how we did it, but 
you might want to look at the possibility of using DRP to "ship" the kits 
to another warehouse and then transfer them back to the desired warehouse.

[BPCS-L] Kits into Stock






We have a client using BPCS v4.0 that just started using Kits for some of 
their items.
What they are considering is putting some Kits into stock, but cannot 
figure out how to get them there. BPCS will use any Kit inventory before 
using components to make Kits at Ship Confirmation time but how do we get 
Kits into stock besides a return?

It does not appear we can create a normal Bill of Material if a Planning 
Bill exists, and you cannot create a manual '=' transaction without a Shop 
Order Number and you cannot create a Shop Order for Order type 3 or 4.

Thanks for any help,
