Hi,

 

We are on 6.0.02 January Cum. Mixed Mode.

We have only facility bills and everything works fine.

We run BOM900 every time we do a CST600.

 

We do a cost roll at least once a month. We have always done our cost rolls in a working cost set.

That way we can do our cost rolls before the end-of-month for the next month.

 

Then we transfer our working cost set to cost set 03 (Frozen Standard Cost) after the end of the year.

We update cost set 02 (Current Standard Cost) after every month-end.

 

We manufacture products in multiple plants. We no longer do dual source manufacturing, but we did for many years.

 

We have some plants that are only manufacturing facilities. We have some plants that are only distribution facilities. We have others that are both

manufacturing and distribution facilities. But, we sell all products from all distribution facilities. So, It is important to have the correct cost in all facilities.

 

If you dual source an item, and transfer its costs using DRP relationships, you can double up your costs.

You can get around this problem by creating a custom program that only transfers the cost, if the item has a DRP and is not manufactured in the 'to' facility.

 

I realize that there are several ways to accomplish the same task. But this is how we decided to do it.

Hi,

    Has anyone run BOM900 recently? We ran it a year or so ago and it trashed our sequence numbers. After a new release, and many BMR's we tried again last year. Some, not all, items had the quantity and bubble numbers hosed. We need to run this, but are pretty gun shy.  We are on 6.0.4, mixed mode, April cum. We have both facility and global bills. For the global, there are two methods for each item (used for costing).  Just wondering if anyone had any advice and/or warnings.  Thanks
