We have a situations where we have one base item number which is packed into several different pack styles / qty's per various customer specifications. We need to control the inventory on the pack styles, but don't want to set up several item references for the same item, because of the confusion and difficulty of maintenance. We still have to make sure the production people can book production on the assembly so the component items are issued.

Example:

Base Item: 123-A12-123 Widget

Pack Style A: Container Type: C3 120 pcs

Pack Style B: Container Type: C1 60 pcs

Pack Style C: Container Type: CB 3 pcs

Are there any other options?

Thank you in advance,

Mike Von Stein
