Assembly Items with Negative Qty Members

edited Nov 25, 2019 10:51AM in Accounting / ERP 5 comments

Hi,

We have a need (to keep management of sub-assemblies easy) to have sub-assembly items with negative amounts of component items.

Simple example would be having a sub-assembly for a trailer with two wheels, and axle and indicators etc.
That sub-assembly is part of a bigger assembly that is for the final manufactured (assembled) item.
A customer wants to order a normal finished item except with different wheels on it (maybe 6-stud or something).
Rather than develop a whole new Bill of Material from the ground up, we want to copy the original BoM to a new build, but then have a Qty of the normal wheel of -2 in the top level assembly of the normal wheels (to remove them and place them back into stock), and +2 of the special wheels.  Thus saving a mountain of time "re-inventing the wheel".

Howdy, Stranger!
