One item code, multiple process, how to manage inventory

Hi,

Am new to SAP B1, Am using one item code, which undergoes many process, for eg, Item-Iron plate(finished part),process- rawmaterial->Rolling->Machining->Grinding->surface coating. Currently we using one part no. for all the process. So wat happening is, I purchased raw material and am trying to update stock, it is updating as finished component. Also while calculating cost it should include all process cost incurred for making one finished component. I know we should use separate item code or part no. for each process, but we already imported bom like this. We imported 10BOM's each BOM contains minimum of 1000 line items.

Kindly suggest me is there any solution without creating new item code for each process.

Hi,

Welcome to B1 forum. You have define item code each process to avoid increae/decrease in stock level. In your process, you may use item code like,

Item-Iron plate- Raw

Item-Iron plate-Rolling

Item-Iron plate- Machining

Item-Iron plate- Grinding

Item-Iron plate- Surface coating.

Depending your process, you may not be needed all items as inventory items to avoid unsufficient stock.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi,

Thanks for replies, So it means have to create item code for each process.. One bom contains 1000line items.. if I give part no. for each process for each item then one bom will contain 4000items(approximately). Like that  10BOM's are there so my item master will hold approximately 40000 to 50000 items... whoof!!

Do you need 1000 line items to complete one FG?

Is it possible to share BOM with few line items?

Attaching sample BOM with 25 items. Actually this bom contains 1134 items.

Thanks for attachment.  As per attachment, there is no same item code used for assemblies.

You can use existing item code to complete process. No need to create new item code.

For example,

main assembly item code -  PD1-01-00-00-00-00-000_C02

For this you have sub assembly---PD1-01-01-00-00-00-000_C01 and so on....

Hope you understand.

You correct, assembly wise we dnt have problem. We facing problem in process level. Let me explain you clearly..

We basically outsource our manufacturing process. Let take eg. of item which is at location E10(PD1-01-01-01-00-00-002_C00) in my earlier attachment.

In my current process, wat am doing is, Buying Raw material (with same part no.)--->Machining (with same part no.)--->Grinding(same part no.)--->Coating--->(with same part no.) After completing it wil come to stores with same part no.( PD1-01-01-01-00-00-002_C00)

Am requesting PR for each process with same part no. Since we place order to different supplier for different process.

At the time of GRN once I bought the raw material if I do stock entry. Stock is counting for finished component(Technically, yes it wil take like tis only, since we not mentioning in part no. is it for RM,Machining,coating)

For assembly we dnt have problem, as you see in the attachment parent and child relation is maintained clearly with different part nos.

Also, when am calculating cost incurred for making tat component it should add all the cost involved for making that component. Is it possible?

It is not necessary to create item master data for each process.

Try this:

For example, I have an item A that need to machined, grind, tested and coated. For this process, i will create only FG and raw item master data. For testing and coating  i will create general item master data.

1. Item A- FG

2. Item A- Raw

3. T & C---For testing and coating.

If above process does not fulfill, you need Add-on for production order.

Thanks for your suggestion, we would like to go with Add-on.

Hi

You should maintain separate Item Code for each process then only you can able to Add the Overhead  cost to Finished Product.
