Selva, Dave,

Actually, Selva's solution will still work for you, even without MRP.  MRP
would be a mechanism to determine what to order, but you already have
something in place that handles this.  The COM, IM, PDM solution will drive
demand and you can handle the supply side however you are doing it now.

Bob,

If I assume that you use COM and MRP, It looks simple if you define a BOM
for C with Part A and Part B as components underneath and create customer
order on C, which will drive MRP to buy Part A and Part B. You can release
a MO on C to make C from Part A and B, and then ship from COM on C. If you
need to sell Part A and Part B separately, you may need to create Customer
order on Part A and Part B.

Regards, Selva

Ok I think I understand but here is I think a killer we interface to the
LogPro TMS system for all of our EDI orders and they require both the A and
B item numbers to generate the cubes for packing and shipping. In other
words the when loading a truck or container you need to know that Part A is
3 cu ft and Part B is 12 cu ft and they need to pick 1 A and 1 B. All the
while to the outside it looks like Part C if you know what I am getting at.
Its almost like Part C is an internal Phantom Part but an external Real
Part. We need to maintain inventory on A and B and costs on A and B but sell
and invoice C.

I hope I'm not being dense about this and I really appreciate all the help.

Thanks

Bob
