Re: How to manage packaging

["David Tangye" <..hidden..>]

Logically, it would have to work in a somewhat similar way as part assembly works now. The user would have to define how an assembly is composed and explicitly define how many of each part comprise the assembly, and what each is worth. Then the system would need to add up the sum of parts values, and ensure that the sum of parts equals the assembly total. I can think of two ways to do this

 1. Assign any remainder to another 'part'. That part would probably be a default part. 
 2. As an alternative perhaps a set of parts could be nominated at breakdown time to have the remainder spread over them in some way, either equally or weighted by relative volume of part.

Either way I can see a user recalculating this a few times, using a button in a similar way to how the Update button works for tax at present, so he could fine-tune a breakdown til it looks right, then save/post it.

Hi;

Assembly breakdown is a difficult problem for which we don't have a clear picture how to tackle.  The basic problem here is one of cost allocation to assembly components.  There is no good way to do this that I know of.  If we can agree on how the cost allocation ought to work when a purchased unit is disassembled, we can look at how to implement this.
