Bill of materials and non inventory items

Posted By Farids over 10 years ago

We have a vendor that does welding for us and we pay him by unit, i.e 20 welds.

1- I have created weld under Miscellaneous items with allow in PO and BOM

2- When I try to create a PO for the vendor, it does not allow me to enter quantity.

3- In bill of material however, I can enter quantity when I assemble my finished good which has raw material plus weld charge.

What am I doing wrong? Is it correct to have weld charge as a Misc. Item to begin with?

Any help with this is appreciated.

Do you have welding setup as a Misc. Charge or Misc. Item.

One way to handle this would be to setup a Misc. Item for use with Purchase Order which would allow you to use quantities and then use the Misc. Charge for use in Bill of Material. Use the same GL codes so that the posting is the same for each. Note that with each you are just posting dollars and not real quantities.

Why use a Misc. Item here at all? We have a couple of different product lines for items we need to use in various places but which we don't have on inventory. It sounds like you should just create this as a standard inventory item. The only thing you will need to do extra is make sure there isn't any value for this listed on inventory at year end.

BigLouie, any idea why they changed this? I used to be able to use items to apply labor and overhead for companies that did not use work order.
