Also, take a look at Configurable BOMS. These are activated by the "Configurable" flag on the Item Master. This has nothing to do with Product Builder. It would mean reflecting your Color within the Config instead of the Color, but understand that there is no way to tie a BOM to a parent's size or color.
You CAN tie it to a Config by have one master/superBOM for the item and then dynamically tying BOMlines toConfig via Configuration Groups. You MIGHT end up with just one Configuration Group (say, Shade). Your "Cadillac" solution might be to use Product Builder, where you could ask for Shade and mathematically derive a BOM, each time that paint is ordered. --- In Axapta-Knowledge-Village@yahoogroups.com, "Craig Fidler" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Use the IBI process manufacturing module. > > > > From: Axapta-Knowledge-Village@yahoogroups.com > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > abdulbasith_mohammad > Sent: Monday, November 26, 2007 1:55 PM > To: Axapta-Knowledge-Village@yahoogroups.com > Subject: [Axapta-Knowledge-Village] BOM Process Based Manufacturing > > > > Hi, > > We are working on a proeject whose manufacturing is Process based > (Paint Industry).
