Hello.  

I hope all is well.  We have multilevel BOM's defined as a KIT type in the BOM system.  We wanted the ability to create a sales order for a manufactured item that consists of several levels of BOM's.  The reason we went with the kit type is that it seems to be the only BOM type that can be "exploded" into a Sales Order and thus be converted into a purchase order for the purchasing department.  However, when we enter in a sales order only one level of the BOM comes in.

Now from what I am reading this might be normal because kit types are single level by design. Is this correct?  Is there no way to accomplish this goal?

We know that the MRP module has vendor "action" reports that can be used as part of the MRP process.  However, it does not generate a purchase order automatically.  It just generates the report and the purchasing department then needs to manually enter all the purchase orders.

Is there any way to automatically create purchase orders in this scenario?

Thanks for any info..

Rebecca.
