Re: BPCS 6.0.02 Kit Processing

Mr. Zoll:

One way to trace a specific quantity of part "C" back to kit "B" or "A"
versus direct sales is with Systems Plus' BPCS bolt on known as OTTO (On
Time Orders).  OTTO supports, along with several other interesting
capabilities, bi-directional pegging.  This capability pegs every required
component to the requiring sales order AND every sales order to its
components.  The data is in an OTTO file so you can either use OTTO's
standard inquiries and reports or write your own queries.

OTTO web site:  ottorpm.com

Kevin,

I understand those values... thanks... but here is the situation I want
to define:

Say that Item "A" and Item "B" are Kits.  They both share a component
"C".  If both Items "A" and "B" are on the order, this will mean that
"C" could be on the order twice.  I want to be able to track the
specific "C" item line back to "A" or "B" depending on which it belongs.
I didn't know if BPCS stored a line value anywhere that says this line
belongs to that line... type of thing.

Regards,
Dave Zoll

Look at the LCPNT field in the ECL.   The parent line should have  a "P"
and 
the component lines will have a "Y".  Regular line items have an  "N".
The 
components should be in sequence right after the Parent  Record.     
 
Hope that helps   Kevin Washburn
