For this upgrade effort, your manufacturing engineers have defined an alternate bill of material for the revision C of the printed circuit board. This alternate bill, named UpgradeToC, includes all the items that are required for revision C that are not in revision A. In other words, this alternate bill is the upgrade kit.
Since upgrades such as this occur frequently, your manufacturing engineers have defined an alternate routing, named Upgrade. This routing includes all the standard printed circuit board upgrade operations including remove, replace, test1, and test2.
Enter the printed circuit board and the Upgrade alternate routing into the Routing Reference and Alternate Routing fields respectively to schedule the start and end dates of the job and to create the WIP operations and resources. Enter the printed circuit board assembly and the UpgradeToC alternate bill in the Bill Reference and Alternate Bill fields respectively in order to get the upgrade kit components onto the non-standard discrete job.
Use the Material Requirements window to manually create the component requirement for the printed circuit board. The printed circuit board will likely be a push component at the remove operation. For the printed circuit board, do not check MRP Net since you do not want to create demand for items that are supplied from a non-nettable subinventory. Since the upgrade kit components are supplied from nettable subinventories, check MRP Net for these items.
Print the Discrete Job Pick List Report and release the job using the Discrete Jobs window.
Use the Move Transactions window to move the printed circuit boards from operation to operation and to charge resources and overheads. You can also use the Move Transactions window to scrap unfixable printed circuit boards.
Use the Completion Transactions window to complete the finished Revision C printed circuit boards into a nettable finished goods inventory.
The job must have costs incurred equal to the standard cost of the printed circuit board assemblies, plus the cost of the upgrade kit material, plus the standard or actual cost of resources charged, and the standard cost of overhead charged. The costs relieved from the job equal the standard cost of the completed and scrapped printed circuit board assemblies. The balance is written off as a variance when you close the job.
