  • Subject: Looping BOM's

4.0.5 CD on an AS/400.

We have a situation where Product A's BOM has Product B as a co-product.
Since we sell a lot more of A then we we sell of B, we want to take out B
from A's BOM.  Simple enough using a discontinue date.

But, we want A to be a co-product of B's BOM now.  This is done due to the
way we slice the WIP product.  BOM500 tells us that we can't add A to B
because it would be a circular reference.  This is correct -if- the
discontinue and effective dates were not correctly specified.  I know what
BOM500 is doing, it's just checking for item references without regard to
effectivity dates.  So, my question is this: What would be the best way to
handle this situation?

1.  Force A into B's BOM either through DFU, or temporarily bypassing the
looping logic.
2.  Put code into the program that will take dates into consideration.
3.  Delete the discontinued co-product rather than in-effective it.
4.  Something else.

Thanks,
Bill
