we associate IFS sites with physical sites, as by setting up the posting controls properly, you can maintain a smaller set of accounts, and still track expenses at each site. we do have one company (01) [base currency USD] for US domestic sales - with 3 sites - our KC distribution center (AKC), our Emporia, kansas manufacturing plant and DC (HM), our Miami, Oklahoma manufacturing plant and DC (HO). we do have separate companies for Blenheim, On, CA (10) [base currency CDN, alt currency USD] plant and DC, and for our Juarez, Chih, MX (08) Maquiladora plant [base currency USD, alt currency MXN]..we have been consolidating financial results in an outside package (TIMELINE), but are now working on implementing group consolidation.we actually cost product slightly differently at the various sites - because we ‘burden’ the cost with cost of transporting the product from manufacturing site to distribution site. so we NEED to have different sites to have different costs PER site. be aware that
I too vote for sales part cross reference. We stock in cases, because that is how we manufacture - our boms and routings are in cases, etc. Our customers order in pieces, but we force them to order pieces in case multiples (except for VERY rare circumstances, because we do not crack cases).. but we have 1500 customers, and MANY of them have their own customer part numbers, so we use the sales part cross reference to allow a customer description, part number, and case conversion quantity.. Have done it that way since 2004.. Using sales part will cause a real proliferation of sales parts, make it very difficult to forecast..
