Material type for BOM that should not create production order

[Former Member]

Hello all,

We have following situation in our company:

We ship few products say for e.g A,B,C which are part of higer level BOM for product M1 to the customer, before the actual product M1 is shipped.Currently these ship-a-head products(A,B,C) is also part of BOM for M1.

We need to combine these ship-a-head products A,B,C as one product M2 (thinking of a BOM) and ship that M2 to customer before M1 is shipped.

In that case what could be the material type for product M2 so that MRP won't create any Production orders for M2.

Also wondering Is there any other way, other than creating a BOM that could combine products A,B and C and ship to customer a-head of time.

Thanks,

Sre
