Getting started

Let's walk through two scripts to generate a new item with a Bill of Materials. One for an assembling process, the other for Manufacturing.

We will set up both Item Costing and Item Tracking for these products.

The examples are created using a CRONUS W1 Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 Service Pack 1 database without changes.

Assembling

In our company, we want to start producing office chairs. These chairs consist of five wheels, a pedestal, a seat, and two arm rests. We will create these four components as a new item and one new item for the end product.

All the items will have a different costing method to demonstrate the effect of cost changes. The end product will support serial number item tracking with a one year warranty period.

When using the BOM Journal it is not possible to use Item Tracking for the components, only for the end product...
