We have manufacturing set up using BOM’s The BOM is set to get the raw product prices based on last purchase price (Actually that is last any price, it also picks up last manufactured prices which is great)
So the question is to do with workflow I suppose - at what point does the production order pick up costs? Is it on Save, or Submit?
The reason I ask is that this:
We set up a production order for Product A - a new product. The BOM for Product A states to manufacture Product B. Product B is also a new product so does not have a last purchase price defined.
The production order for product A it will not produce the correct valuation because product B does not have a price of course - quite logical. So we finish Product B and it now has a price.
The production order still will not pick up the price of product B though, because it seems the price is locked in to the production order either at save or submit. Again I can understand that as last purchase price MUST be before the production order is created.
Logically (to me) if we cancel and amend the production order for product A, it should get the prices again, so this time it should pick up product B price. But it does not. Cancel and amend keeps the old prices. It does not get the new price. The only way to get the new price is to cancel the production order and create a new one. OR not create the production order for product A at all until product B is finished
Does that sound correct? Or should cancel > Amend get the updated prices?
I hope that all makes sense to someone -
