Re: Procurement of Parent item & Child item

Question

Dear Friends,
I have a scenario, for Parent item & child item
client is procuring a parent  material as Set, this comprises of child materials
we have maintained material codes for Parent material and Child material
For ex:
     Parent Material : XYZ
Child MateriaL 1    : X
Child MateriaL 2    : Y
Child MateriaL 3    : Z
maintained MAP in parent material as well as child material as below
Child MateriaL 1    : X   100 Rs
Child MateriaL 2    : Y   150 Rs
Child MateriaL 3    : Z    200 Rs
Total                              450
Parent Material : XYZ = 450 ( the total of child materials is equal to Parent material)
here is my query
I raise PO for main material and GRN will done for material, and deplete the stock of main material through 201 and update the child materil through 202 mov type. so that stock will update accordingly
but  when i Procures for main material for market price 600 Rs, it has to distribute apportionately to the child components but here the child material value updates based on the Old map but not updated MAP,
Please guide how can i achieve this functionality in MM
thanks in advance

Hi,
In your case of doing 201 to deplete the parent material and then doing the 202 to increase the stock of child materials, there is no linking between the two. So there will not be any change in the MAP of child material. It will always take the MAP while increasing the stock.
The business requirement need come redefining. Do your client buy the Parent material as a set and dismantle it to individual child items?
If that is the case, the best method to achieve this is through a production BOM. You have to create a BOM and routing and create a production order with negative qty for child items and once you confirm this order, the parent item will be consumed and child item will be increased in stock.
