Hi, a bit of background on our operations: We are a machine shop that carry out repair of various products that are not manufactured by us (eg. pumps, valves gear boxes etc). For a specific part depending on the type of repair required, we have created standard product structures and routings. (for eg. for a specific part, I have four standard repair procedures for which pricing varies depending on which repair procedure is required, i can use product structure and routing to define these four repair procedures). We currently use a modified shop order to carry out repair activity using the Shop Order module which allows us to schedule and plan our work centers. Hence, I am looking for a solution where the sales team can select the part with its specific condition code, i can define the pricing using different condition codes. And once the customer order is released, the product structure and routing for that specific repair is automatically populated in the automatically created shop order rather than a production team member having to manually select an alternate routing/prod structure each time.
Currently the only option i see is to create them as different inventory parts and each inventory part has a single routing and prod structure. The sales part would be linked to this inventory part with the price linked to it. In this case, I would lose some traceability in terms of historical and statistical analysis, but all the flows are automated from customer Order screen to Shop Order screen. Alternatively I was wondering if there was a way to link different condition code pricing to individual product structures and routings? Since alternates are allowed in prod structures and routings, if there was a way to link them so the information flow into the shop order would get automated. Unless there is any other way to do this.
