Hello,
There's lots of information out there on the kind of information to include in a Bill Of Materials (BOM). I'm pretty comfortable around the different formulae I could use to construct something. I'm really struggling to get my head around how to deal with sub-assemblies in tracking parts.
For a finished part that we buy in I can have a table to capture purchases of that part and another table to show it being consumed as parts are sent out. But what to do with parts that are used to make a new single component - how do I get those to interact with my purchases and consumption? Do I need to track sub-assembly parts separately? How do they metamorphosize into a new sub-assembly part? It's the logic of how to pull something together that escapes me.
Any suggestions or examples would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Nick
