Please find the steps to guide you through the process of handling outsourcing as a part of the Assembly Process.

Step 1:

• Parent Item: Create an Assembly Bill of Material (BOM) for the final product/Finish Good
  • For example: (Part no/Part name: 10000-RS/ Flower Assembly)

• Child Items:
  • Flower Leaf (part No: 10001-L) – 8 Nos.
  • 10002-S Flower Stick Assembly 1 No

a. Stick Assembly

1. 1. 1. Child Item: Flower Stick (Part No: 100021-S)
      2. Add a cost for Labor charge for Assembly of Parent item (10000-RS)

• • • • Create a Resource
      • Define a labor cost and add labor cost to the assembly (outsource charge)

Step 2:

Processing Orders

1. Create Sales order for part no: 10000-RS/ Flower Assembly (This creates an Assembly order automatically when all the Assembly setup are in place)
