hi, My understanding of ur processes -
1. You always Purchase this Item 2. In rare case u need to do some Quality Testing and minor modification it. So here what i think - 1. Setup the Purchase item of type - Item 2. Create another Item of type - BOM, where the BOM line will be the Item you pruchase. So when you require to do so, can create a Production order for the new BOM item and plan and......all other things which Axapta Production provides. 3. After you complete the Production ... report as finished ... costing. Pass an Inventory movement Journal - deducting the produced quantity of the BOM item with the cost price of that production and increase the same of quantity of the Purchase Item with the same cost price. example - 1. Item A (Type - Item) - Purchase Item qty-10 at price 10, so cost price 10. 2. New Item B (Type - BOM) - Production Item. 3. Lets say 2 Pcs of Item require QA and minor re-work or mod. 4.As Item A is in the BOM Line of Item B's BOM create a Production order for item B and complete the Production cycle. 5. After Production you get item B, qty 2 cost price 15 6. Post an Inventory Movement Journal where the lines are Item B qty = -2, cost price (use the cost price of that production)= 15, so total amount = -30, the storage dimensions and financial dimensions as per requirement. Item A qty = +2, cost price (use the same cost price as above line) = 15, total amount is 30 and Post it. I assume here the cost of QA and minor adjustment will be consumed in Item A if not then u have Post the Inventory Journal as per the requirement. When u pass this Inventory Journal - ur Stock for Item B will be Zero and item A will be 10, with the updated cost price. So you can sell Item A. i hope this helps you regards vaibhav --- yifath1 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > hi there, > > Just an idea, why don't you set it up as a BOM, and > in the planned > orders you can change a planned production order to > a planned > purchase order.
