Amol,
It would be best if you can convince your customers to change their
AVL, or you change it yourself. Our MRP system also won't allow
segregation at the MPN level. We've found the simplest solution is to
create new part numbers (preferably our customers change them, otherwise
we do it internally) with purely RoHS compliant AVL, and use those to
create purely RoHS compliant BOMs. Not that it isn't a lot of work in
itself, but it provides the most protection, and allows you to clearly
forecast your RoHS and non-RoHS materials.

Hello Technetters,
In order to have traceability for RoHS vs. non RoHS parts, and to
ensure proper storage and use, we are in the process of rethinking our
current component handling system. My question is to everyone who has
already done this, are you using any MRP software that's SPECIFICALLY
tailored to such a application, or is everyone making changes to their
existing MRP softwares to reflect the segregation as they deem fit
according to their existing conditions?
We are currently facing issues where a particular part # has more than
one vendor on the AVL, and only some vendors out of that list offer RoHS
parts. How does receiving inspection know what part comes in the door?
Our current system is buyer specific (buyer will have to physically add
a note saying its RoHS compliant.....and we all know how that would be a
nightmare) and will not flag automatically if a RoHS complaint part is
ordered thu the AVL.
Any thoughts/suggestions will be welcome
Sincerely,
Amol Kane
