I am new to ERPNext and I understand that I may be asking the system to do something it cannot. As I understand it, our designers create a project with several Items on it, some of which have a bill of materials as they are fabrication items. My problem is that in our business, sometimes either the design changes or the estimation of materials required for a job changes so I need a way to be able to change the BOM as the job progresses. the two issues I have are:- 1. the final price to the client cannot change after the quote is issued so any change must be for our information only, not changing the sales order or anything downstream of that. 2. We need to be able to track and compare how adrift the actual production was versus what we quoted for as thats vital information for making sure it doesn’t happen again.
In addition, we often have projects that are totally organic so start with a small production and end up having had numerous things added to it including purchases etc. How is that best implemented.
Many thanks for all the help, this will either make or break our use of this system as we much be able to do this on a project by project basis
