Alternate Part Blank Title 57465

You can schedule a purchased part as you would a manufactured part.
If the part is tagged as purchased you would not see it in
manufactured suggestions, but you can still schedule it.

Or, what we do for parts we sometimes make or sometimes buy is to
create an alternate method of manufacture. The "standard" default
method would be to make in house. The alternate, what we call A1,
would be 2 operations, a sub-contract outside machining op, and an
inspection/stock op. You will have to create another part number for
the sub contract.

Example:

Part ABC is a manufactured part. Part ABC:MC is a purchased part.
If I want to buy part ABC, I schedule a job for ABC that looks like
this:

SubOpr20 OMC Outside Machine Complete
OPR30 IN Inspect and place in stock

The part number we buy under the sub operation is the ABC:MC part
number, which is purchased. So the manufactured job for ABC requires
purchased part ABC:MC as material so to speak, allowing us to only
have to stock the 1 part number in the end.

This works great for us. I hope this was not too confusing. I'd be
happy to walk you through it over the phone if needed.

We are on Vantage 6.1
We would like to to know how to setup a part as a substitue part in mfg.
We have a part (part ABC) that we sometime mfg and other time we purchase it.
What we would like to do is create a job for the parent part (part XYZ) and then have the choice of mfg the above part (part A) or purchase the part (Part ABC).

I'm not suggesting this is the best way, but it is effective and works
for us.

In Part File Maintenance, we create part "ABC" (this is the fully in
house manf. part) The Type filter for this part is set to Manufactured.
We then create a part with a P (for Purchased) prefix, so this part is
named "P ABC" (this part is purchased from another vendor) The Type
filter for this part is set to Purchased

This way costing and profit margins are kept seperate as well as the
part history. If we need to out soarce a part because of a back log or
down machine a simple search using a "P" before whatever part number
will quickly show us if we have done it before.

I hope that helps,
Terry
