disassemble a BOM after it is produced?

[Vince Clark]

Anyone aware of a way to do this? I need to return components back to inventory if I produce more than I need, don't sell them all, etc.

Hi Vince

You could try the decomposeInventoryItem service.  It's currently used  
to breakdown returned marketing packages.

Interesting, I'll check out that service. We have posed that question before specifically related to breaking down returned marketing packages.

Note that we have tested returning marketing packages and it seems to just put the whole package into inventory. On a related note, we need to display all of the components of a marketing package when creating a return. In the implementation we are working on our client will allow customers to return individual components of a package.

Sorry I only have time for quick answers inline.

I would create a jira issue, as far as I am aware marketing packages  
should always be decomposed after being returned.  There is another  
service checkDecomposeInventoryItem (or something like that) whose job  
it is to see if the returned product needs to be broken down.

That's sound like a perfectly valid scenario but I have no idea how  
well supported it is.

Scott - thanks so much for the replies. You have definitely put us in the right direction. I'll figure out why marketing packages aren't being disassembled when returned.
