11/08/2021, 8:17 PMI think I got there reading through the documentation. Could you also technically use the “purchase order” option and include it on the BOM? Then the PO could include toll charge AND the items the vendor owns? then if we need to unbuild later it will be easier to account for where the assembly items came from originally?

11/12/2021, 10:22 PMWhat if I am doing RMA/RA’s on these assemblies and need to do an unbuild? Since the bom for the item doesn’t include the vendor owned items would you suggest creating a second assembly that does purely for return and unbuild purposes?

11/12/2021, 10:25 PMWhat is really wild about this scenario is that OPS wants to sell the mfter one of the parts, but not the other two (we own them) . It seems to me it makes more sense for us to not sell any of the parts and own them all ourselves
