JDE E1. I need to track cost and production of a single finished good item passed as an end to end process across the three seperate branch/plants and must use the same finished good item number in each plant. First branch plant initiates the process so there is no problem for that branch. The same finshed good item is then passed and used in each plant for specific step in the process. Branch 2 takes the item as a componenet and needs to produce the same item number as a finished good to pass on to branch 3. Branch 3 in turn takes the item as a component and needs to produce the same finished good part number. This process requires a setup of having recursive bill of materials which does not work well with standard JDE since the item is setup as a manufactured end item in each plant. Only solution so far has been to create unique item numbers in each plant and pass that as a purchased item to the next branch to use as a component and repeat the process in the last plant but use the final real finished good item as the parent. This forces a lot of tracking and analysis of several part numbers when it is really the same item being produced in each plant. I am looking for options to allow for a recursive setup so that I can just track the one item as a process start to finish across the three plants. I definately understand that this is not a standard recommended approach for JDE but open to suggestions for alternatives. Thank you!
