Bill,

For a while our division that uses Mapics was reselling a product
that they purchased from a third party.  All of the items where
set up with an item type 4 so they would not have bill of materials
or routings. We were able to resell these with out any problems.

Subject: finished goods


We are in the planning stages of separating 2 business units (divisions)
into 2 separate MAPICs environments, which are currently operating in one
environment. My question has to do with finished goods that one division
purchases from another for sale to their customers. Today, in one
environment, there is one item master, which is an item type 1 = finished
goods, and has the bill of material and routing. Once we split, the bill of
material and routing will only be maintained in the manufacturing division.
We are struggling with what to do with the item in the purchasing division.
They want to make it a purchased part, item type 4 or 9. But them how do I
recognize and treat it as a finished good in their division, since it won't
be an item type 1??  I still want to classify it as a finished good, since
it is for sale to the end customer.    It does not look like I can still
keep it an item type 1 without a bill of material or routing, since I can't
then load a cost.   Any thoughts??

Thanks,
