Hi all, Looking for input on the right approach for a specific scenario in Kinetic. Scenario We have a part, let’s call it PART-10, which is cut from a longer raw material stock item, PART-20. Right now PART-10 is set up as a standalone Purchased part with no BOM, so its cost has no relationship t…

My immediate thought is co-parts.. Used it one a loooong time ago now. I am sure there are others that use it on a regular basis here.

For me I have, questions regarding the bigger picture here. First it sounds like your UOM for these parts should really be smaller. Having a decimal Each is not typically recommended for Inventory purposes. If this is a length part not a count part then will your UOM for inventory be in inches or f…

Brad great to see your avatar pop up. Hope you are doing well.

Thanks. Keep meaning to connect, busy, busy…

That’s good Brad! Glad to hear it.

Thanks very much Bard on this, Can you expatiate more as I am a bit new to the system. So our typical process now is the we marked every part inputted as purchased. but in that, some parts are gotten by cutting others. for instance, the example I gave above we get the 10 by cutting the 20. We want…

We have a revision to make the cut part that uses material that is received in inches. [image] [image]

Just to provide another potential approach, since you’re evaluating potential methods… For our set-up, we purchase a wide variety of “bar stock”. We then cut that to length for a given job. So, these are purchased parts with a UOM of Length, typically inches. We tried Advanced UOM (in its infanc…

[image] dcamlin: Just to provide another potential approach To me, as a consultant, this is a GREAT solution. COULD Advanced UOM do this? Almost certainly, BUT the time and effort to set it up, test (iterate those two steps a few times) and then train the users is no free lunch. I’m a big fa…

Best approach for a cut-to-length part (cost following raw material) in Engineering Workbench?
