Hi,If you have solidworks pdm, it is very basic. you can write simple servis for bom list. we have a solution. We develop a add-in for solidworks. add-in to service, service to ifs db. If you want, you can send a trigger to the service from the solidworks approval flow. you can also transfer stocks to solidworks with the same service. We also developed a add-in to add raw material selections to solidworks cards. If you are going to perform a one-time transfer, you can access all the data you want from the pdm database. Solidworks api is very helpfull.
We use a combination of wdr and availability control id. wdr to inform on the real size of the piece. Every night we run a job that set availability control id based on some criteria's. We are working on your proposed solution with our consultants. Thank you so much for taking the time to share.
I had the same issue in another company. The solution I came up with is to make inventory items of 500mm upwards for rest material. And a separate place in the warehouse for the fast running inventory items. And we didn't want to create items smaller then 1000mm since the likeliness that these items are used is very low. So we got 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500 etc. but the items in the part 1500mm where minimum 1500 but could very well be 1650mm. Everything under 1000mm was scrapped (sold to external party) did cost too much to keep inventory for it and there where handlers better in handling smaller quantities. (also cluttered the warehouse too much) Hope this gives you a direction, as you are probably in the steel business with conversion rates that do not equal scientific equations this is hard to do. We decided to keep trading logic outside of our internal ERP system and only used them in pricing logic, so custom fields for sales rate calculations on the customer order. Thank you very mu
