Having issues with the Purchasing products flow #311
Comments
something else, the product must necessarily exist for it to be stored Don't hesitate to tell me what you produce (a concrete case that I can project (visualize) |
We build internal cabinets and fixtures for ambulances. All together we have a list of well over 2000 parts that go into these on a per cabinet basis ( there are 4 actual final pieces that make up the "cabinet") I see no way of separating the products to purchase per provider. I tried a example on your DEMO site and was able to "order" a product that wasn't associated with the supplier that I had chosen. The flow that usually happens is as follows: All parts to cabinet section gets pulled and delivered to bay for assembly, this lowers the stock amount accordingly, stock numbers are reflected back to the Purchasing Manager, PO gets created per supplier for replenishment of stock. When there are multiple suppliers then they are both associated with the product and Purchase Manager makes the decision on who to order from. Please let me know if this is a help. Thank you very much. |
I like your software for the ability to break things down into sub assemblies as well as primary parts. Your BOM as you have it also is a feature that is needed. However the inability to break down the products that are purchased ( I.E. screws, wood material for CNC cutting, metal edging, etc ) by supplier is not something that can be allowed as it would allow for order mistakes and lead to late arrival of orders or even orders not arriving at all due to being sent to the wrong supplier. I hope I have given you a clear enough picture of the standard process here. Again thank you. |
If I made a picture, would it look like this? 2 things : Currently, there is no preferred supplier per item.
currently, I do not manage 2-level nomenclatures
|
That is very accurate. As far as the sub assembly things my main reason for those is to reference back to things needed that are made here as well and then added to the main assembly. Utilizing that would only be to that end and not multi levels of parts. Your idea above is the right idea. Being able to create a PO that only has the ability to pick from the products of that supplier is what is needed. I thought in the beginning that feature was already there by the "Sort Companies' pull down on the page. When I realized that the products didn't change is why I only mentioned it when I did. |
First step #313 |
Step two, a little more complicated #314 |
@Circlegent can you test on demo page It seems that I have a bug after creating the order |
Fixe bug for selection #315 |
regression after optimization, sorry, it's fixed I haven't yet worked on the stock to deduct from the purchase, it's a lot of work, I need to think a little |
I noticed that where you go to add things to the Tech/ BOM screen the products do not change when you select the different Services. I tried to add a mock cabinet and some of the components to see what would happen but I can't add any of the new products at this stage. All I see is the same products no matter what Service I choose. I even tried setting the product to different Services and then switching off and back to that Service in order to get it to update. Having this could also help with the reduction to the stock. i.e. Any manufactured final parts HAS to have a BOM list. This would give it a starting point to have a number to lower the stock by. Please let me know if there is something I am missing in the BOM screen to get that to change. Thank you |
Actually, I'm going to see why I haven't done it. |
I just looked, I display all the services which have a type 8 => I assume when specifying that an item to be purchased is necessarily a purchase service. So a single "purchase" type service do you see another case which should have two type services |
I am not sure I understand what you are asking. However my understanding is that any products that would be purchased for the manufacturing process would fall under "Purchase" service. There might be different Families they fall under but that would be sufficient for that. I hope I have answered your question. |
To add onto my previous post any components that are manufactured in house to be put on this final product would also go on this list. A "in house" Service ( or something similar) is where that would ideally be place. Being able to add from these different Services was the focus of my original post. |
Your software as it is can handle any sub assemblies. They are not termed sub assemblies but that is not a bad thing. These are simply a "In House" object and labeled as such. Anything that HAS to be purchased (i.e. screws, nuts, bolts, raw material like plywood etc.) is what would be placed into "Purchase" Service. If there is a choice of Purchasing it or manufacturing in house then that is up to management team how they want to proceed and it gets put into the system however they choose. ( for a real world example we have a product that we COULD make in house but choose to purchase it local, If that changes then it would require a change in the system from Purchased to In house. ) |
I have modified the Product Cabinet-54321 to reflect the multiple sub assemblies possible. |
I have to apologize. I misunderstood how the flags for the BOM components worked. I was under the impression that they reflected the different Services. |
I don't know if I could go as far as you want, especially for the second point the first step is to already create the in and out of stock PS :I did this this afternoon on the product sheet the second notion of replenishment is very complex, this is what will take a lot of time
if the box is red, I could create an internal order from the BOM line I will create a pop with a programmed task to display the stocks below the minimum QT (without taking into account current orders) already with that it will be a start |

Hello again.
I did not know how to label this so I chose the blank issue. Please label correctly, thank you.
I am having an issue with the purchasing of inventory needed to manufacture the products. When I try and go to make a purchase order I get met with 'No Lines Selected' however I cannot see where to even add products to the PO that I am trying to make. Please fill me in on the flow as it is currently setup. I can make a better decision after that.
Thank you.
