Hi,

I need to use 1 generic BOM for probably thousands of Items. these Inventory Items for their production will have slight variations but it would be easier to be managed in Production mainetnance detail. assigning an inventry Item to the BOM as a mandatory field makes it restricted to only that BOM. is there any way around this? 

I don’t want to use the Configuration because the options are also too many. 

what would be your suggestion. 

Thanks For your help in advance.

One purpose of the product configurator is to eliminate the need to have multiple stock items and bills for variants of a base products.  There are customers using the configurator for products with many options.

I was able to create a new Production Order for an Item with no BOM - then on the “References” tab of Production Order Maintenance, I selected “Production Reference” as my Source - and then chose a production order for a different Item that had Production Detail.  When I saved, the production operations and materials of the source were copied to the Production Order for my original item w/ no BOM. 

So maybe you could create a production order from which each new production order is created?

By the way, that is how inventory subitems work, a single bill can support multiple subitems.

I caution using subitems as a solution as subitems are not a highly adoption feature within Acumatica and may not be considered in the design of all modules/features.

What is the replacement for subitems for the customers that use them?

We use the MYOB version of Acumatica in Australia and as one of the precausions for Payroll we should never enable that feature. still not sure about the relevance but it is in our guide.
