Hi:

How can you enable outsourcing for use in Inventory Assembly Bills of Material -- not Production Bills of Material?

Thanks!

Outsourcing and Assembly BOMs

⁠ We have a system that can retrieve and calculate 10,000+ items from Business Central in less than a minute, yielding accurate results regardless of depth of BOM. Since its initial deployment in January 2024, it has been operational without any issues in the production environment. In this setup, there are 12,940 items with varying BOM depths. If you're interested, please reply, and we can find a way to get in touch. ⁠

Outsourcing and Assembly BOMs

Assembly Order's do not have in depth outsourcing/subcontractor functionality like Manufacturing. What you can do is use a line with a resource added on the assembly BOM. The resource is to account for the cost of the outsourcing/subcontractor.

When you then pay the outsourcing vendor or subcontractor, you can create a purchase order with the same resource. But you will have to manually keep track of how times the resource was used on an assembly order, and how many times it was invoiced on a purchase document.
