Topic: Same item, different work centres, different locations

Bonjour all,

I have different work centers and each has specific locations raw materials are taken from. For instance, to produce Item A from Work Center 1, components (raw materials) are taken from Location 1.

To produce the same Item A from Work Center 2, components (raw materials) are taken from Location 2.

In setting up Bill of materials for Item A, I notice I have to select the Location (the source of raw materials).  How do I set up Bill of Materials for item A? Can I have more than one Bill of materials for one manufactured item?

Advanced thanks.

Re: Same item, different work centres, different locations

Short of creating your own custom module / hard code changes, you can prefix all items in each location with the appropriate Loc ID prefix. Also to produce Item A from each location prefix it with the appropriate Loc ID. Now the BoM for ItemA_Loc1 will be present n Loc1 only and hence can be used for manufacturing in Work Centre 1.

Native FA allows any location to supply any item to any work centre.
