We make cable assemblies for a customer, to do so we purchase a pre-made cable and cut it in 1/2 to make a male or female version of the customer's request... when they order in pairs it's easy but recently they have been ordering one more than another.

here is my question... when we receive "item 1(Full)" I want there to be an operation that cuts item 1 into a male and a female item so Item 1(full) - 1X item 1(male) and 1X item 1(female) these can be added to stock


When customer orders cable x Male the PC would look to see if we have item 1 (male) in stock and vice versa for item 1 (female)...

if either item 1 (male) or item 1 (female) isn't in stock trigger the item 1 (full) operation to create 1 (male) and 1 (Female)  

The last issue is we also want to keep item 1 (full) in stock to sell as is.


Is there any way to do this?

One option may be to create 3 products, Pre-made Cable, Pre-made Cable (male) and Pre-made Cable (female), set the route as Manufacturing in the "child" products and create a “Kit” type BOM for each of them where the quantity is 1 and the component to be consumed is Pre-made Cable with quantity 0.5.


This way, you can have all 3 products in stock, and the bill of materials will be used when you create a production order or when you create a stock transfer for those products.
