In the parent job, tick make direct on the lower level material (assembly). You will get a job order suggestion linked directly to the parent job. MRP will not create an unfirm job in this case. However, running MRP will establish the req by date to for the lower level part job order.
Your other option is to pull the lower level material as an assembly (as opposed to matl). The subassembly is then embedded into the parent job order. It would still have a separate job traveller.

Subject: [Vantage] Re: How To Link Multilevel Jobs To Each Other And Sales Orders
We are on version 6.0 with the latest patches. We went live on
July1/03 after a 3 month implementation. We did not have a system
prior to Vantage and everything was manual or through Excel.
Currently, in 2 months, we have 600 open jobs and our production is
not expected to get busy until next quarter. The average unit that
we build will have 6 levels of MOMs and all levels have complex
processes involved which affect the next level up as well as the
delivery. I found that by turning the MRP job into a firm job, the
top level job is connected to the Sales Order. MRP also creates all
the lower levels of builds but, other than through time phase, I
cannot see how one levels job is connected to the next. This is
evident in Scheduling when I change the time that a lower level takes
to build and the upper levels do not adjust themselves to accommodate
the impact of the change.
I use Project Tracker for our projects, Part Classes are for each
level of assembly, and Part Groups are only utilized for the Finished
Goods that are shipped to customers. I have yet to deal with VBForm
Fields.
Thanks for the past reply and help. JD
