Hi Badari,

This is common practice in clients you mentioned like clients making earth moving equipments, road construction equipments etc.

Here you can maintain these options as a material as documents kit and tool kit and assign it to last operation and issue it manually in goods issue to ensure that people have issued it to order. Most of clients like to have it in last operation in assembly line and they issue it along with accessories.

Either you can maintain a sales BOM also, it helps if you are issuing it during dispatch and sales people take care of these documents and accessories.

Hi Sharat,

  Which material type i have to use for toolkit and usermanual. What MRP type we have to use for toolkit and usermanuals and the toolkit contains different tools . how can i map this. Whether after mrp run  it will create a planned order for these toolkits and usermanual.

Hi Badari,

Believe the tool kit and manuals of you are getting it as bought out then create it as raw material only and if you wish this to be covered in MRP then use it as consumption based planning with reorder point.

Some clients do not use these in MRP, and based on the FG plan they know how much they need, so they procure it with manual purchase order in lot.

It depends on your business requirement how you want to map this, hope below two options helps you.

badari prasad,

Please use sales BOM functionality so that it will be usefull while pick,  pack & dispatch this along with final product.

question of material type, it can be any thing suitable to your business process.

in majority of cases its purchased parts ( Toll Kit and Manual) or you can use material type HALB or ROH for it.

Thanks

Hi Prasad,

You can use MRP or Consumption based (Reorder point) planning, whichever suits your business process requirements.

Material type for these items can be ROH; and if you believe HAWA or HALB or even FERT can suit your business process, please adopt it.

Please close the thread if your requirements are met.

Why don't you create user manuals as one material and tool box as another material and add it to bom and assign it to the last operation. That way you can keep track of the stock of user manuals and tools boxes and make sure you issued them out to the finished product before it goes to the storage warehouse.
