Hi,
I have a simple question about manufacturing in Ofbiz. I have an inventory where are raw material components are serialized items. I have FIFO inventory usage policy defined on the store. Now I have built several products using the raw materials and the products themselves are serialized items as well. Can anyone clarify the following points for me? 1. how do I list all the sub components with their serial numbers in a specific manufactured product (say with serial number A1234567) 2. given the serial number of the raw material, how will I trace it back to the product that it is a part of?

Hi Adarsh,
right now there is no user interface to easily provide this information (hopefully I'll add something about this in the short term period). However, the information is in the following entity: WorkEffortInventoryAssign the workEffortId is the id of the production run task that used the material (usually the first task in the production run), and inventoryItemId is the id of the (serialized) item consumed.

Hi Jacopo,
Thank you for the information. I shall dump the entity table and get the required data. But as an aside on this topic with respect to manufacturing: In the future, how would ofbiz handle cases wherein the product has been manufactured and shipped to the customer and then one day one of the components need to be replaced (field replaceable unit). Would the inventory module allow us to keep track of the new subcomponent as well. In order to do this, we would need to be able to update the original subcomponent list of the manufactured product. From a manufacturing perspective, we would end up marking the failed subcomponent as bad (or deleting it altogether) and adding the replacement subcomponent.

I don't think we should edit the original production run.
How to handle this mostly depends on how the company wants to handle this substitution: a new production run? a return/replacement? However the association should be probably managed thru the serial number of the finished product delivered to the customer.
