Hello,
I have a product that can be manufactured in 3 different locations with one specific BoM per location.
If I enter these BoMs in the same product, I can't see in my inventory which BoM has been produced.
If I create 3 products with 1 BoM each, I don't have a consolidated view of the production of my product across the 3 production sites.
Please let me know if you have any suggestion and if you add a similar issue.
Best regards,
There isn't a link between BoM and a location, however a location (component and finished products) can be selected for an MO while in draft stage.
It is possible to trace back the BoM in inventory from Moves history
Alternate way to identify could be to use variants
Since you are using the manufacturing module, try out the module: MO and BoM variance whose author is intelliVersal integrated solutions. This module generates a variance analysis report showing the quantity and cost differences between BoM and actual MO.
Thank you for your reply Jaideep,
I agree with the use of an MO in this case but it would also modify the sales order (i.e using a generic product in the quotation and multiple variants on the invoice) - any suggestions?
Moves history is an option but using stock for the overview would make it more accessible for the end user.
Merci beaucoup!
Am afraid I don’t understand the use case.
1. You wish to have a generic product in sales order, but manufacture a variant? - Yes this is possible
2. You wish to have generic product in SO but invoice a variant? I think this might not work, you would only be able to invoice what is on the SO
3. SO for a variant, manufacture the variant and invoice variant. Yes a possible in default flow.
Also, on the inventory managing a variant would be standard.
Hope this helps
Thank you again for sharing your ideas,
1- Yes and build a visible link between the SO (unique with generic) and the MO (one or multiple variants)
2- I wish to have the same generic product in quotation, SO and invoice.
a. Once a quotation is validated the Delivery button appears
b. I understand that I should enter the variant I would like to deliver (to updates inventory +
tracking)
c. Then I wish to send the invoice to my customer but a line with the variant appear in the invoice
Do you think doing 2.b is the wrong approach?
Best,
The delivery order created by SO would be reserving and expecting to pick the product selected on the SO. If a generic product is on the SO delivery order is expecting to pick generic product, if product variant is selected on SO, delivery order is also a variant.
It is possible to add additional products to the delivery order. If the delivery order is for generic product but you wish to pick a variant, add the variant as new line. On validation the SO would be updated with a new line for the variant.
I would believe the recommended approach is to have the variant defined on SO, create delivery and MO for variant (a single BoM for all variants). On validating the delivery create invoice for variant
It is possible to have SO for generic product that creates a draft MO, where the variant BoM can be manually selected. However the delivery order would need to be updated with the variant pick. On validation the delivery order would update the SO with additional line for variant. If your invoicing policy is set to ‘delivered qty’ the invoice would be for variant.
Hope am able to articulate the process flows. Can’t provide specific solution as I don’t understand your use case. Thanks
