We buy customer material per a sales order line to part # 123 then invoice that sales order line when the material comes in.
Part # 123 now has dollars attached to it
Customer then ships in place that material to make their parts.
Can’t put part #123 directly on the job since those dollars are already accounted for
Could use a different part # 123-1 into the job at $0 and the costing works
The question is how can we link those two numbers without bringing the dollars over from part #123
Hi, in this case if you don’t you customer manage inventory, try to create a different material part. I’m not clear about your describe above but normally I split it into 2 process
Sales order → customer order Part A
in Epicor, Part A include material AP1-Purchased part for A
Purchased part can come from another vendor or from customer. If from customer, use process 2. Purchase. If you have inventory management warehouse, you can use the same material. But not, I think you have to create another material code with cost =0$
Purchase order → material (direct or inventory base on your chosen solution)
