RE: minimum lot charges for PO's

Try this:
Hi Chick Doe


1- Create two operations in the routing of the item processed outside, both
being flagged as outside operations
2- create a BOM, if you have not already done so, for the plated item. The
component of the BOM is the item before plating. Obviously, the item before
and after plating is not the same, hence you need 2 different item numbers.
3- create a shop order for the item to be processed outside. 
4- create a Po with same item (plated item) on two different lines, each PO
line linked with their respective shop order outside operations. On the PO
line linked with the fixed setup operation cost, make the PO unit cost equal
to the total charge divided by the qty ordered, ( $1.33 in your example) so
that the total extended cost is equal to the fixed cost ($1.33 x 150 =
$200.). The other PO line is $1.00 each.
5- create an inventory transaction for the outside operation receipt: affect
cost but do not affect item level inventory balance
6- receive both lines of the PO with the inventory transaction created in
step 5-
7- receive the shop order with a regular R transaction, or an M transaction,
etc. This will put update the inventory quantities on hand 
8- enter the supplier's detailed invoice against each respective line of the
PO.


I have not tried this setup, but I believe the item's actual cost ( from
actual invoice sent by the supplier) will be updated correctly.

Subject: [BPCS-L] minimum lot charges for PO's



version 6.1

how do you generate a po for an inventory item where a minimum lot
charge applies? for example let's say we're going to send out 150 parts
to be plated and the op cost in the routing is $1.00 each. if we write
to PO it comes out for a total PO  cost of $150. 

but suppose the vendor charges a minimum of $200 to heat the plating
tank. he is going to charge us $200 to do the 150 parts. how do i
reflect this on the po so that the vendor sees it and so that the a/p
people see it?
