Title: Phantom Assembly?
Post by kathySMC on 02/23/16 at 16:28:06

Greetings,

I need some direction on the best way to set up a new inventory item and I'm wondering if phantom assembly is the best way(never used it before) or if there is a better way and I'm hoping someone with experience can help me. Here are the facts:
-We are buying a part from Vendor A and shipping it to Vendor B
-We are also buying a part from Vendor B for a predetermined price. Vendor B is charging us an upcharge to pack their item into the part received from Vendor A. This upcharge has to be separately priced and reported on the PO (and will be invoiced to us separately too). They will also be required to do some QC on the part from Vendor A.
-To make it more complicated, we have two color options from both vendors, but red will go with red and yellow will go with yellow
-This combined part will then become a component piece in another kitted group of products to be sold as a single kit.

Other idea was to use a make from for the combined part number, but didn't know how to do that when I have both the M and the R on the same PO, and the part from vendor A would have to already be received to make it work right, I think.

All thoughts and ideas are much appreciated. Thx

The combined completed part could be a type M with a BOM of the original part from the other vendor and the part vendor B is installing into it. In that scenario it may be better to have 2 separate POs for vendor B as well as the PO to vendor A so the component parts can be received to stock prior to the Make From being received and consuming them.
