Charge customer for extra item in PO

ajhvdb

Example.
Customer orders a table and wants the extra chair.

Q1.
If it is already in the BOM, we still want to charge extra money for this chair.

We cannot add the chair as an item on the sales order because the quantity in stock will be -2 (-1 with PO - 1 with SO)

We cannot use "Item charge" or "G/L Account" because we want to use default sales prices per item/customer.

Anyone?

Q2.
How to add an extra option (item) to the PO?

This is an ad hoc approach presumably, sometime you want to charge, others you do not. Basically if you can charge for an element of the item for one customer you will, whilst others already pay for it within the BOM. You cannot use items because this would mess up your stock, and you have to use items because of the pricing structure.

Whatever you do you need to modify it and think of the best way of doing this. It will depend upon the rule sets in place, but you could create the items as resources and invoice these out against modified pricing files that reference resources. Probably lots of ways to appraoch it and the best way will depend upon the metrics and the requirements.

Why not use Resource instead? :-k

Yes, resource is possible but it seems a bit odd. The resource and item have the same price structure and description. It looks like doing things double.

Thx for the input.

On the sales side, you can use resource to sell stuff without it affecting quantity on hand. However, no COGS will be posted if you sell resources.
