How to do this manufacturing process?

ERPNext Manufacturing
1

hello every one, actually i am using ERPNEXT more than 2 years. but i am using accounting model to keep payment record.
my company is aluminum fabrication windows and doors.
now i want to move another step, and i create new instance in Frappe Cloud (great services) and i want to implement manufacturing module. so i do that:

note: i need manufacturing item physical to track delivery note and track issue with each.

  1. I create physical item in stock and i name it (fab-item).
  2. when i create sales order must as following:
    sn>>>>>>>>code>>>>>>>>>>>desc
    1>>>>>>>>>fab-item>>>>>>> main door size 1500 x 2100
    2>>>>>>>>>fab-item >>>>>>>back entrance 1000 x 2100 …ect

i have another software to calculate BOM Based on design and component

  1. when i go to manufacturing model to create work order. ERPNEXT ask me to create BOM. so i create first BOM for (fab-item) for qty 2 item.

in this case no issue.

in another case: i have sales order with qty 2 (fab-item) but the BOM will be different than first BOM.
so must i create another BOM.

in some case if customer buy 2 qty 2 (fab-item) and i am already create BOM and work order. may he will add more 2 qty 2 (fab-item), now in sales order total 4 qty. and must create another BOM and Work order.

in another option i create stock item as following:

  1. aluminum windows tilt and turn
  2. aluminum windows sliding
    3 aluminum door.

in this case must create 4 BOM and 4 work order

so now i am confuse how can i implement manufacturing model in my company with easy way.
actually i am looking for this:

  1. create sales order
    2.create one BOM for each sales order. and i can updated
    3.create one work order for each sales order. and i cant increase or decrease production qty.

also i am try to create 1 BOM with all raw material so when i create work order i just drop items and keep what we want to manufacturing. But if i am going to create work order i cant change qty of raw material.

also if there any alternative way to do like that. such as i can use stock entry “manufactur” instead of BOM.

The bottom line is that I want a valid way to do one work order with one BOM or Stock entry per sales order and the same time i can updated qty of manfuctring item and update BOM or BOM or Stock entry.

thanks to ERPNEXT Team.

Hi,

Quick Question: Are you a Made to Order Alluminium Door and Windows Fabricator?

If yes, it is a bit hard for you to be able to implement an ERP easily. It IS going to be a bit messy.

Your best bet is to create new Items called AlDoor-CustomerPO-RunningSeries and AlWindow-CustomerPO-RunningSeries. Like if you have 2 Doors and 2 Windows in a Customer PO - PO-00001, then your items are AlDoor-PO-00001-00001 and AlDoor-PO-00001-00002 and AlWindow-PO-00001-00001 and AlWindow-PO-00001-00002. Then you can do the BOM easily. If you try to use the same Item all the time, you and your people will end up getting totally confused. With a bit of scripting, you can actually get to generate the items automatically at the time of creating your Sales Order.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Jay

Yes, wa are the fabricator.
Ok if we create items based AlDoor-CustomerPO-RunningSeries that’s mean must i define BOM for each items, and this will be very triple. Am i understand you?

Actually i was use tally features. We can use stock entry to move raw material from stock to WIP and define quantity of products to manfuer.

I don’t care if i create one item or many. Main issue to define BOM for all items in sales order in one time, and we can update the bom and quantity of products.
