Hi Kiran,
Thank you for this information. However, my problem is not solved. Let me elaborate a little more.
I will simultaneously need to make(at a local manufacturer) and also buy the same part as finished good(from an overseas manufacturer). So every time changing the item master does not seem to be a feasible option.
My confusion is - how to set up BOM so that
1) I can include services as well as items in a single BOM. When purchasing the parts it should reflect both items and services in the PO so that I can send the PO to both item maker and service provider and can do a single GRPO.
2) Since I need to buy the same part finished, I cant use the same itemized BOM in the purchase order.
So far we had just another part number to buy direct, which in turn buggered up the entire min-max and we had to check 2-3 p/n to get the accurate inventory status and re-order.
I hope I have clarified the situation. Looking forward to any help.
Thanks!
Regards,
YP
