Looks like your company has the ownership of the aluminium, because you have 2 different invoices to pay. I would give the part before and after plating 2 different part numbers, like you wrote. You may want to create a warehouse or location in your existing warehouse to track the quantities. HAving 2 part numbers incurs more transactions; purchase receipt, BOM, shop order, shop order isues and receipts, warehouse/location transfers, etc. But these transactions are the price to pay to have control and tracking on everything DAniel Warthold CPIM P.eng -----Original Message----- From: jgcarr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jgcarr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, January 31, 2005 15:56 To: bpcs-l@xxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [BPCS-L] BOM question for purchase part that has outside processing We have a purchased part X001 that used to be bought already plated. Due to some vendor issues, we have recently started dealing with two vendors on this part - vendor x is providing the aluminum to vendor y who is doing the plating. This has caused several different problems - some in accounting having to match invoices to do the costing. There are approximatley 40 different aluminum barstocks that have to be matched from each of the two vendors and the cost consolidated for item X001. Another problem has been in purchasing and receiving trying to keep track of what parts are where. We're thinking of creating two child items under X001 - one for the aluminum and one for the plating. This way the two could be costed independently of eachother and the total costs would be correct. Also, this eliminates the need to go out and change all the BOM's that have X001 and it gives us flexibility if we ever go back to buying pre-plated. In this scenario, purchasing would issue two different PO's. When the invoice would be received from the aluminum vendor (and the qty's verified by the plater via a shipping manifest), the aluminum would be costed at this time. When the plated parts are invoiced, the costing of the plating would be done at that time. Does this sound like a logical approach? Also, what is the best way to handle the inventory transactions? One person thinks it would work best to have a shop order put out for item X001 at the same time the PO's are cut. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks!
