Consume Part During Inspection Of Another Part

I have a part which is manufactured by an external supplier, but we add our own custom (manufactured) bag for our finished good which ships to customers.

Currently, we have a separate part for the purchased item and for the bag. Then we have a third manufactured part number which has the bag and the purchased item on it’s BOM.

I want to switch this such that the part number we purchase is the part number we sell, and have the bag inventory get removed during receiving inspection. Preferably we would track the cost of the bag in the standard cost of the part, but I am fine with expensing the bag. We just need to make sure MRP suggests jobs for the bag to make sure we always have stock.

Currently my only idea is to have our receiving team quantity-adjust the inventory of the bags they use during receiving inspection, and use a Min On-Hand to ensure we always have enough bags.

Does anyone have a better way to handle this?

@bkatz Welcome. There are fancy ways with quick jobs and alternate methods, but if all you need is the balance to be reduced by the passed quantity then as long as you have a way to associate the correct bag to the RcvDtl update then there should be code around here to do a quantity adjustment.
