Hi All,
I have multiple BOM’s to set up and am getting confused with the first one.
Basically the steps are as follows. I am unsure as to what to set as items and what to create BOMS for. The steps are
1 - Order sensor from supplier that comes with supplier serial number
2 - We then take the sensor and perform the following in house operations. Calibrate x 2, normalise x 2 and then glue (keeps original supplier serial number)
3 - We then send the sensor out for welding at a sub contractors. No material is required, just the sensor (keeps original suppliers serial number)
At this stage the item can be branded by engraving it with a different customers logo as in step 4. I would assume at step 4 there are multiple items as the logo makes it different so we would normally hold a stock of items at level 3 and just engrave them when we get orders
4 - We then send the sensor to a different subcontractor for engraving. At this point it gets a new serial number (ours) but must link to the original suppliers serial number
The finished item at Step 4 can then either be packed (would require extra materials when packing such as a cable etc), or can go into a further assembly
I am unsure with the above whether i take the final item as an item and create a bomb that gets it from the supplied sensor to the finished item or do I create a new item at each level and if so how do i maintain serial numbers
An example of how to do this would be great as I can then replicate it for all our other items
Thanks in advance
