How do I use DRP to make a disassembly?

We recently purchased DRP (not MRP). We buy items in nested sets from our vendors. We need the individual items out of the nested set (disassembly), not the other way around.

 

For example, if Item A is out of stock, we need to buy a nested set that contains Items A, B, and C. When we receive the nested set, we do a disassembly to break it into the individual items.

 

We've already explored setting Source = Kit Assembly on the individual items, but that plans an assembly — consuming components to build the kit — which is the opposite of what we need. We need DRP to recognize that our individual items come FROM disassembling a purchased kit, not the other way around.

 

Is there a way to handle this in DRP? How are others managing nested sets or bundled imports that get broken down for individual sale?

Honestly, we gave up. This is a missing feature and it was awful on our side. We are now applying blended costing in Acumatica to work-around this limitation of DRP. It’s weird that they have all these methods to handle supply, but cherry-pick which ones they deem worthy of implementing.

This is a new workflow I’ve never seen. I can’t think of a way of doing this without custom code, and that would be tricky. 

What have you tried so far? What is your current manual work around?
