Long lead time part on the fly

Hi Liz,I hope you had a great Memorial weekend.I wanted to touch base with you to see if you were able check with others in your organization that deal with consuming Buy Direct POTF material across multiple jobs of a given Sales Order.I think if we can get away with calling out usage as a reference, that would work, however, I am not sure how that plays out in finance.Thanks - Terry

Long lead time part on the fly

Hi Liz,I appreciate your response it is very helpful.  I like the concept of “part on the fly” (POTF) so I am trying get our business in that direction for “one-time” designs.    I will attempt to paraphrase what I heard.On one of your custom (POTF) sales lines (i.e. Jobs), you may have a POTF called “LONGLEAD”.  “LONGLEAD” has a Job that is linked to that Sales Line Job with several “Buy Direct” POTF materials with the projected demands to fulfill the entire Sales Order demands.So assuming that LONGLEAD Job has BUYD01 as a Buy Direct material. if other Sales Line Jobs of that Order need BUYD01 as one of its materials, do you link that Job somehow or can you simply state it as reference on the BOM? I experimented in our test environment using Job Manager to have multiple Sales Line Jobs to use a common POTF material.  That seemed to work, however, since with custom material you want to order extra just in case,, I was not sure how to consume the overage on the Sales Order.Thanks - Terr
