Project requirements.
I have a customer using PS to build site shelter/antenna combos.
The projects are quite simple in regards of WBS (only one), the requirements are more on the network.
In the network we will find 2 types of materials:
• Purchased materials
• Assemblies (made from purchased materials)
All these items have an on-site requirement date. Date at which the assemblies and the purchased parts have to be on the construction site.
All parts purchased (regardless if in assemblies or not) are first delivered to a plant (DC) where they are stored (and in some case assembled) before being shipped on location.
The network must be complete before any shipping to the construction location, as in no parts missing and assemblies are completed.
We have to use a delivery to pick all the parts from the DC and send them to the ship-to location (construction site)
Once this is done the project is complete.
ISSUE:
Our issue is around the assemblies, currently today they do not use assemblies in SAP. All the parts for the assemblies are flagged as (pre-assemblies) and the required date is equal to: required date – 10days (time to assemble).
This is a manual process which implies managing multiple required dates. We would like to know if assemblies can be used instead with a BOM.
It is important to note that the BOM varies from project to project and would need to be maintained at a project level.
