Hello everyone!
For now, I am working just with a regular Item Master for our product dimensions.
I have a pretty simple calculation/ measure that shows me the waste on the work order and product level.
This Item Master has the following structure:
Item | Department | Attribute1 | Attribute2 | Size |
A1 | Mounting | 5-0 | 45 | 500 |
Now I would like to add a more product granularity and provide the BOM (Bill of Material) so I can determine the measures on the parent level.
For example, item A1-A10 are the children for parent AX1.
The current BOM has the following structure:
Parent | Child |
AX | A1 |
With this structure, I get the parent-child relationship.
This is a multi-level BOM. That means, that parent AX is also the child of A.
Every parent and child is included as a unique row in the Item Master (column Item).
But how should I add this new table into my data model?
Is the structure of the BOM appropriate for this purpose?
What would you suggest?
