How to set up Shop Order Material as Not Consumed and no cost ? Need to assign same material for two operations as indication

Hello,

We are manufacturing continuously a mesh.
To produce this I am using a wire (part set up with kg), from which I am cutting it into pieces and further welding those pieces together to obtain a final product.

Current BOM:

  1. Wire [kg] → assigned to cutting operation  
    1. At this level we are providing at the custom field number of pieces that shall be cutted from the wire

Current Routing:

  1. Cutting
  2. Welding

We would like to display on the Shop Order Work Instruction Report an assignment of the materials to the operation so the operators know how many pieces of the wire go into the welding operation. So ideally:

  1. Cutting - display of wire 
  2. Welding - display of wire (but no consumption and no costs, as the same wire was already processed in the operation above).

As currently wire is assigned to the cutting operation, I am not able to reassign the same wire at the operation of welding displaying the same information as at the cutting.

I had tried to set up a separate material line using the same wire part as Not Consumed (just to populate the information), however I can see that the system is calculating the estimated material cost using this wire. How possibly obtain the desire without having the material calculated in the estimations?

The cost parameter on the Costing for INCLUDE_NOT_CONSUMED=No.

Hi ​@KatarzynaPrae,

Based on understanding, your requirement can be summarized as follows:

  • Assigning the same Inventory Part material line to multiple operations purely for display purposes
  • Using a Not Consumed material line that is completely excluded from estimation calculations
  • Adding informational material lines without cost impact, without using non-inventory or zero-cost parts
  • Overriding cost roll-up behavior at an individual material line level beyond standard costing parameters

Could you please confirm if the above accurately reflects your requirement?

Yes, that would be correct.
