Subcontracting and two Production Versions

[Former Member]

Dear Friends,

I'm having captioned scenario with details like this:

Product: P1,

Subcontractor: V1,

Distribution Center: DC1,

Components: comp1 and comp2,

I have maintained two production versions for P1 with different BOMs:

Production Version 1 with comp1 is valid from past to 31.08.2008;

Production Version 2 with comp2 is valid from 01.09.2008 to far in the future.

In order to create PDS for product on subcontractor, I have to create subcontracting purchase info record for P1, V1, DC1. However, I found I could only create one info record with connection to one production version.

Does anybody know how to solve this? Or if you have any suggestion for better setup?

Thanks all!

why not just have 1 bom with validity dates on the components?

Hi Kenneth,

Thanks for your suggestion! I've tested and it worked out fine.

Hubert, thanks for your notes as well!

Hi,

up to SCM 5.0 it is only possible to have one production version for subcontracting for each vendor.

With SCM 5.1 you also can have one than one.

So today the only solution is to use subcontracting PDS and have different validity dates for the components as already suggested.

Regards.

Hubert
