I'm hoping I can explain this well.

In BoM you can build serialized items but if you use a serialized item as a component, the system doesn't keep track of which serialized components were used in the finished good.

For example, I build three items and let the system number them as 1001, 1002 and 1003. However in the process, I use components which are serial numbered 11, 12 and 13. I can distribute these components in the production entry process which relieves them from inventory just fine. Unfortunately, there is no way to say that 11 was used in 1001, 12 was used in 1002, etc.

Even if I just build them one at a time and assign the single component, BoM and I/M don't track the serialized component. For example, if I build 1004 and use serialized component 14 in it, as soon as everything is updated, there is no tracking to show that 14 was used in 1004 or vice-versa, that 1004 contains 14.

So far, I haven't been able to find any extended solution that will do this and it definitely doesn't seem to be available in the Sage 100 ERP system "off the shelf."

If you know of anything we can do, your help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
