Re: Bill Of Material Exploder!

Michael,

We run a program that does a variation of what you described.    But we
start with raw material and determine what can be made from it and the
current demands for it.  

In your design I would caution you on 2 things.  Some of the components
needed to build ITEMA may also be used in ITEMB,C,...,Z.   So to get a
complete picture for the demand of a component and its raw material you
would have to run all of the items and add up the demand.

Also using sales history to predict future demand is not always
accurate.  Perhaps query the open order files to get current demand in a
request date range.
