Double Sourcing

Hi,

Has anyone already implemented double sourcing in JDE, meaning that for the same item we manufacture some and buy other.

We have some robots with fixed-capacity which are manufacturing our sub-assemblies and if the demand is over this capacity we want to buy those sub-assemblies (same ones, it will happen every day). The issue is that the same end-item should remain at sales order entry even if we clearly want to know (regulatory purpose) if the end-item is based on bought or manufactured sub-assemblies.

We would like to put this in place but we have no solution for now. All ideas are welcome.

Thanks for your help.

I am not sure if it is possible to do this.
The only thing that I can think of is to set up the purchased item and the manufactured item as 2 different part#s and then set them as substitutes. You could also setup a cross reference(customer item# for example) so that on the sales order it always appears as one item#.

Thanks,
Matt
