Hi Jacopo
Your excellent answer to Claude's question raises a few issue I'm about
to face.
I'm interested in how this discussion relates to the new Automatically
produced marketing packages.
Specifically:
How do sub-assembly production runs relate to automatically produced
marketing package production runs?
Marketing package production runs are standard production runs that are
immediately create and completed when a sales order is created.
The components of the marketing package should already be in inventory;
if not you have to buy or build them (but this is not done automatically
by the system). I hope to have answered your question.
Does it matter if none of the marketing package components use the
routing feature?
If the marketing package components don't have components under them
they don't need a routing.
However there is always a default routing that is used for the product
with components but without a routing.
If a sub-assembly of one product is also a finished good of a different
product, does it need to be defined as a WIP?
Marking a product as a WIP (productTypeId = WIP) means that the product
will never be stored in warehouse or sold; if fact WIP (work-in-process)
products are only present in the manufacturing facility as a temp result
of a manufacturing process on behalf of another manufacturing process.
Jacopo
Thanks
Daniel
