Re: Kits into Stock

Suggestion for stocking "Kits",

Make the "kit" a phantom bill-of-material (Item type 0). You can stock a 
phantom, and MRP will use any stock on-hand before "blowing" requirements 
down to the components. Order Entry will allow you to enter orders for a 
phantom, as well.

[BPCS-L] Kits into Stock






We have a client using BPCS v4.0 that just started using Kits for some of 
their items.
What they are considering is putting some Kits into stock, but cannot 
figure out how to get them there. BPCS will use any Kit inventory before 
using components to make Kits at Ship Confirmation time but how do we get 
Kits into stock besides a return?

It does not appear we can create a normal Bill of Material if a Planning 
Bill exists, and you cannot create a manual '=' transaction without a Shop 
Order Number and you cannot create a Shop Order for Order type 3 or 4.

Thanks for any help,
