Select Only Certain BOM Components

Hi All,

We have a scenario where we create work orders when repairing products and would like to know if it is possible to create a BOM where we can select any combination of possible components that would be used.

For example:-

Scenario 1

Item 1 is comprised of components A.B,C,D,E

A customer returns item 1 for repair - a work order is created and the BOM selected which will state we need all of the above components, however only component A needs to be replaced.

Scenario 2

Item 1 is comprised of components A.B,C,D,E

A customer returns item 1 for repair - a work order is created and the BOM selected which will state we need all of the above components. However this time components B,D,E need to be replaced.

Currently we just use one BOM so when a work order is placed we have to allow for errors in order to finish production.

Alternatively we will have to create a BOM for each possible combination - which could be alot!!

So just wondering if it is possible to create a BOM with some kind of configuration that will allow you to select only the components required.

Thanks

Create a BOM with all components but with a quantity of 0, and the original item itself with a quantity of 1. You create the repair works order selecting this service BOM, you create the pick list when you know what has been needed - invariably during/after repair. This means you need to hold safety stock of the components as you get no visibility of this, but you naturally would anyway.
