How to Drive an Extra Phantom Part each Shop Order

bguarino · May 6, 2024

In our mfg. process the top level (Part A) has a lower level sub-assembly (Part B) and another lower level sub-assembly (Part C).

A is an Assembly built into stock
B is a phantom
C is a phantom

240 C parts = 1 Part B
10 B parts = 1 Part A

every shop order of Part A requires exactly 1 part B that will not go into stock. It will be used in lab testing.

Any suggestions on how to structure ERP so that the materials are accounted for?

Is your part Part A run always the same? If so, you could probably use fractions to create the extra Part B for testing. So if you always make 10 Part A's, you would need 100 Part B's plus 1 for testing, so 11. So you set the Part A to Part B at 1.1 ea. So an order for 10 A's would generate 11 B's which would generate 2640 C's.
