I know I can set up a BOM with multiple configurations, but has anyone had experience with a situation where the same BOM could have hundreds of variations.

Effectively my client wants to sell a single product but then decide on which sub-assemblies will go into the final product.

Any ideas welcomed!

You can do that by selecting the bill of materials when the manufacturing order is created

Thanks - that is where we have ended up. Each sale is called the same product but the exact configuration is different each time, so they will create a BOM instance for each sale then use that one. Bit messy but it will work without modifications,

I don't know if it is a good idea since each product will (for sure) have a different cost.

True, but lesser of all evils :)
I have a problem with the accounting for manufacturing anyway, so I can deal with the cost issue there.

Kevin,

You can try using Properties in BoM. This will allow you to have different BoM's with properties for the same Product.

Thanks,

Sid

Thanks Sid - discovered the use of properties - works well for being able to link a sale to a BOM variation without having to use the scheduler to pick.

Is there a guide anywhere to using properties for BoMs with multiple configurations?
