Hi, I am trying out ERPNext for my startup and here's my situation.
I am developing a Device with different configuration options that may or may not be exclusive. A Part Number that I'm using would be like 810001-101 where the number before the dash is the Part Master and the numbers after the dash are a code for the different options. To me, the easiest workflow would be to create a master BOM for the 810001 part with every option possible. Then create a separate BOM for each configuration such as 810001-100, 810001-011, etc. The customer would purchase the configuration part, not the master part.
My question is, is it possible to copy over a BOM from the 810001 master BOM to the 810001-ABC configured part?
The alternative would be to create a BOM for the 810001 component that doesn't have any of the options. Then create something a BOM for 810001-0XX, 810001-1XX, etc for components that are unique to that configuration. Then the unit that would be sold would be something like 810001-101, with line items 810001, 810001-1XX, 810001-X0X, 810001-XX1. This is a little harder but may be better for inventory sake. Thoughts?
