A mixed case (sometimes known as a BOM (Bill of Materials) Product) is an item that is made up of a number of other items, for example, a “Summer Case” may contain some wine, crackers, cheese, glasses, etc this would be sold as the “Summer case” to the customers.
When you set up the product there will be choices relating to the structure of this product, this is explained in full on the Product Maintenance section of the site.
The mix case build is used when you wish to generate the cases in advance and is usually used when there is a promotion or high expected number of cases where the warehouse can pre-plan and premix
Prior to running this BUILD, you may need to freeze the stock whilst the warehouse builds the mix cases to ensure you do not use them for orders.
In order to use this, the product must have been created prior to using this form and you need the new rotation number from the warehouse (if it is a rotation warehouse) prior to running this routine.
You have to let the system know the warehouse the goods are coming from “Source Warehouse” and the warehouse you will be storing them after they are mixed “Destination Warehouse” and you will also need to know the following:
New product code.
If required for the destination warehouse, the rotation number.
The finished number of pre-mixed cases.
Whether the new stock will be excise and customs duty paid (generally this is YES in all cases).
The components section will show you the quantity it will require from the source products in order to complete the mixed cases.
You then have to select the view rotations and correctly indicate which rotation was used for this mixed case.
Once you have completed this you can then update and save the Mixed Cases Build form.
You will not be able to save this if the information is incomplete or does not balance.
To make sure that the Duty is paid for the stock you would need to do the following.
Create a Home order (Duty Order) to the warehouse to pay for the Duty.
Landed the stock that has been Duty Paid.
Use the stock that has been Duty Paid in the BOM Build.
