I am attempting to allocate a set number of parts for QC to check at the start of every job regardless of the other parts used in this job or the size of the job. I am unsure how I would implement this into every job that occurs or how to create this preset amount that would be added to every job. Please let me know if you need more information in order to answer my question as I am fairly new to using Epicor.
Welcome Garrett!
When we create jobs, we have the option to create Demand Links for inventory, sales orders, or other jobs. Normally, we make just one Demand Link per job but it is possible to create several. You may want to add a new Demand Link either for stock or another job for the fixed quantity for QC. The job will then calculate all the materials for all the demands.
Once you decide on a method to do this, you could add some automation to add the QC demand links. Try it out manually first to make sure everyone understands before investing in the automation.

If you have the QA module I think First Article Inspection does what you want.

Thank you for the reply! I have a few follow up questions: What do you mean by “investing in automation”? We would like this process of adding a demand like to happen automatically with certain parts, how would I go about doing this?
Catching up here, by automation I mean an Epicor Function or BPM. You would have to find a good trigger to execute the code. I would certainly consider @hackaphreaka’s First Article Inspection idea if you have the Advanced Quality module.
