Sales Kit Question - Containing a manufactured part from another site

[Matt_Belshaw]

We have site A with no jobs or operations. Site B has job & ops.

Can we create a sales kit in Site A that has a manufactured part in Site B. I was thinking of adding the part to site A as a transfer part so a job would be created in B. When playing with the kit creation process the manufactured part pulls in the method from site B. I didnt think revs or resources/op were shared.

Just need a few pointers.

@ckrusen - I saw your post from a few years ago that seems similar but we are not using a configurator.

Sales Order in Multi-Site with Mfg'd Part from other site

How to structure an Order (in a multi-site environment) where all items will be shipped (or picked up by customer) from one site, but requires manufactured parts (finished goods) from another? Imagine if you will … Site S1 does manufacturing. 99% of the manufactured items are configurator driven and don’t create an entry in the PM, and are shipped direct from WIP. Site S2 only stocks purchased items, or stocked items from the other site. An order requires all the items to ship at once from S…

Thanks in advance

Adding @JasonMcD to this as I see you have some similar posts.

Thanks

Of course, if that manufactured part is stocked (qty-bearing) in site A (not a part on the fly, nor non-stock only).

What I *discuss with @ckrusen, roughly every six months, is about transferring POTF parts. I think that might be what you are wondering about? Or are these ordinary parts in the part master?

Right, but the BOM (no ops, just material) is available for a sales kit in another site. I like that a lot, personally. Downside is that people with access to only site A cannot modify the BOM of the kit in Engineering Workbench.

Thanks jason. If I add in engineering workbench to create the kit in Site A it pulls in the Op. I was wondering if I need another rev or alternate method.

Here’s my thoughts.

1. Create part entries in site A for every component in the SK. All must be Qty Bearing. Including the mfg’d part from B.
2. The Mfg’d part in site B must be in the part master and be qty bearing.
3. An order for the SK in site A creates demand for all the components.
4. A transfer order issued from A to B for the mfg’d part will satisfy the demand for it in A.
5. The transfer order creates demand for the mfg’d part in B
6. A job (to stock) in B makes the mfg’d part
7. The part is received to B’s stock
8. A Transfer Order ships from B’s inventory
9. A TO receipt puts the mfg’d part into A’s inventory.
10. The customer shipment from A pulls all the SK’s components from A’s inventory.

I think the important part is that the Mfg’d part is marked as Purchased in site A.
