Data Conversion - from 1 Production Order to Subassemblies

Question

Our client currently treats all Subassemblies as one Production Order, yet going forward they want to have more visibility and scheduling capabilities for each Subprocess and Assembly.

So we run into the challenge of Data Conversion for open Production Orders right now & on how to convert one Parent Job to multiple Subassemblies in a clean way.

Basically, Product X contains Subassembly A, B, C and D. Potentially Subassembly A consists of Subassembly E and F.

This is currently treated as one Make-to-Order Production order.
Going forward they want to have multiple Jobs for A,B,C,D,E and F that roll up into the final Assembly Job of Product X. (Product X and all Subassemblies have Bill of Materials behind them).

Has anyone encountered a similar case within the implementation?

We have some ideas with their Pros and Cons but want to see what is already proven or if other ideas are out there.

There is a feature in 2022r2 that allows the link of subassemblies to the final finished good. The process would be to create the finished good from the Sales Order as normal and when in Planning stage to open the production order. Then from the MORE … menu select the Generate Orders for Subassemblies option.

This will create and link the subassemblies to the proper assembly.

This example is using standard demo data and the Keurig product BOM. We believe this will resolve the request to have a production order per subassembly and still track into the final finished good.

It does by using Acumatica. My apologies for not clarifying enough that we are more concerned about the Data Conversion of current Production Orders rather than operating in the system.

Thank you for your detailed input!
I think we will just go with our current idea which is utilizing your input as well.
