Jeff,
I would like to suggest the following to you:
1. Have you looked into using the "Features & Options" functionality for your P/S's ?? This could help you define a P/S that has "different" packaging types.
2. If the concern is how to carry two different costs for the same Raw material, I would (again) suggest you look into setting up more than one warehouse. This allows you to have different costs for the same Item. Hope this gives you "food for thought"!!

subject: [MAPICS-L] Product Structure and Bill of Materials

Hi everyone. I am looking for some insight. Let me lay some groundwork.

1) My company uses IM and PDM green screen xa 7
2) We have about 3,000 product structures. A lot of which are exactly the
same as some of the others just packaging changes.
3) We are also using a single level bill of material

I have 2 questions.
1) We maintain our product structures a lot this causes a lot of headaches.
What is a good way to use Mapics better to minimize our headaches. I am
exploring phatom records. Any ideas?

2) Sometimes we have the same raw material from 2 suppliers. Currently we
would have 2 different item codes and 2 difference product structures for
this. Is this a better way to handle this?

Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Jeff Williams

The biggest obstacle for training pc techs to support the AS400 users is
that problems happen so infrequently that it's difficult to train by
repetition.



Any one have any materials for common tasks like wrkactjob, outques,
writers, varying-on, enabling users (ok, that happens a lot). Basic stuff
to many of us, but elusive to the up and coming techs.



Thanks in advance!
