Disassembly percentages

elke

Hi Team,

This relates to Post: Feature Request - Auto Disassembly should reference the Assembly Job it was created from.

I'm creating a new post as the above post was created some time ago. 

We are experiencing similar issues with disassembly costs.

Currently, splitting the costs at the point of disassembly results in incorrect on-hand values for individual components. This means we cannot reliably use these values for purposes such as pricing and cost analysis.

We attempted to address this by adding disassembly percentages to our BOMs. However, this has introduced a number of additional issues and is extremely time-consuming to maintain. We regularly update our BOMs for various reasons, and each update requires the disassembly percentages to be reviewed and adjusted accordingly. This is not a viable long-term solution.

A more effective approach would be to create links between assemblies, sales orders and disassemblies, allowing an assembly to be disassembled using the exact component costs recorded when that assembly was originally created. This would ensure that component values remain accurate and provide a much more reliable basis for pricing and inventory management.

We would appreciate it if this could be considered for development. 

Thanks so much.

    As far as I know, auto-disassembly was intended for a slightly different task than we are discussing here. We are discussing reverting assemblies that we have built and maintaining the input costs, whereas the auto-assembly & disassembly processes are designed to be complementary actions that are part of the sale and purchase flows.

    Auto-assembly is triggered by a sale. It is what other systems call “kitting” and assembles the components into a single salable SKU when the sale is processed.

    Auto-disassembly is intended to be part of the purchasing process. When you buy e.g. a case of detergent under the case SKU, auto-disassembly will immediately break that down into the singles SKU.
