Hello All,
We have a scenario in which we have to purchase 1 kit of various items.On receipt of the kit, inventory of all the sub-components should increase.
When i purchased a component for which BOM existed, the inventory of the components in the BOM did not increase.
Is there any other way of doing this????
Thanks in advance
Hi
You can try the below steps
1. Receive the kit as a single material in to stock
2. Maintain a BOM with a non stock material at the header , the kit and all the components ( with negative quantity) as items
3. Create a dummy production order and complete the confirmation.
4. The ket will be consumed and the components can be received to stock.
Thanks

Hi
It never works that way and will never happen. If you want to have inventory of all the BOM components or atleast the components which are to bought from outside you must have Goods receipt for it.

It is not possible. BOM will work for subcontracting purpose only.

Dear Kavita,
Check in tcode OMS2 whether Qty updat is check for sub componenets material type..
If not kindly check qty update there and now try.

Thanks for the prompt reply Utsav.
The Qty/Value update indicators are checked for both the main material and its components .
But only the inventory of main material increases.
I am not using Item Category L as it is not a sub-contracting scenario but a normal procurement process..
Can you suggest any other possible way of implementing this scenario.
Chakrapani-
If not BOM is there any other concept like kit of materials that will work??
Thanks and regards.
Are you trying to impy that I should do a GR against a PO...That is I have to raise the PO for the main items and the components also. So the PO will have 4 line items and henceforth 4 lines in GR??
But this is not the business scenario.
We just want to buy the kit.
If not BOM ,is there any other way?
Thanks in advance.
hi
For your case you would like to buy the BOM header component and during GRN you expect all the child componenets inventories also to go_up.along with the ordered item. Is not it? It never happens that way. Please remember for any material inventory to GO_up you need to do a goods receipt for it. Can you specify your business scenario to the forum so that more knowledgable esteemed members also can put their thought in?
Regards
Hello,
The scenario is like this-
1.We procure a kit which is basically nothing but a kit of 30-40 individual components.
2.we would then fit that so-called" kit" on one of our items and sell it.
3. On selling we give a warranty for the kit.
4. Now if a customer files a complain during warranty period and asks for replacement of a particular item of the kit we would replace it by returning it to the original vendor.
In this case we need to track the prcurement and inventory of component of the kit.
We cannot buy the 40 items of kit in 1 PO as we have contract with vendor on kit basis and not component basis. So PO will be for kit but we want inventory of individual components to increse.
This helps in selling also.
Hope this makes sense.
Hi Kavita,
As per ur explanation, u are using "total kit", as it is, for adding it to some other item and selling this. Then i dont think u need to maintain inventory for individual items. Your only requirement is that in case of any warranty claim, you will get the replacement of defective item. If ur vendor agrees to replace this item, you can receive defective component from your customer through customer return route. You can have a seperate material code for all these items in the kit. You will get the stock from customer against this material code and send it to vendor with some Z-movement type.
Hi Kavita,
This is the exact requirement I also have for my client. Can you explain if you have mapped the scenario. I am badly in search of a solution for this. Our client has different kits with varying item quantities. Their requirement is also, they will raise the PO for the KIT and GR for the KIT, but they want the stock of individual items to track warranty.
