Hi all,
I have this requirement from client about Bill Of Material: As we know that we can define what are the components that produce a product. However, is it possible to define the substitution of the component so that if the component is out of stock, then the substitute inventory will be used. Wish that there is anybody that can suggest an alternative solution. Thanks ____________________________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.ofbiz.org/mailman/listinfo/users |
You can define a main bill-of-material using the system as it is now.
Then you can define ProductAssoc between the components as substitutes. Next you'd just have to write a little code that when the the BOM components are out of stock, you substitute them. I think this would be a nice feature - please send in a patch of this if you get to it.

Hi Gan,
do you need to perform the substitution automatically? If so, then Si's suggestion is the right way to go. If you can perform the substitution manually, just remember that you can simply edit (add/remove components) a production run before confirming it.
