Make Direct Parts

Or at least in 6.1, in Order Entry there if you select the line you should
have the JobOrder Wizard in the menu at the top. We use that all the time
here.
Good luck,

Even without the MRP module you should have that opportunity to select any
specific part to make into a job. When you go into Job Entry up on the top
there is the Planning Workbench option. You simply select that option and
it will give you the list of parts that have sales orders and are marked
Make Direct. You simply highlight which part you want and select Create a
Job.



Do all of your parts in your system have BOM's attached to them? If so you
can simply check mark the Get Details option after you hit next job number
and the BOM's will come with the creation of the Job for that Part. But if
not, you will have to create the BOM with the part.

Subject: [Vantage] Make Direct Parts



Someone has to have a better way of manufacturing (creating a job) Make
Direct Parts.

Creating a job to Manufacture a "Make Direct" Part is not easily done.

Suggestions for Make Direct Parts only show up in the Time Phased Material
Report. Once you discover you need to create a job for this make direct
part ... everything is manual. Manually create the job, manually select the
part, manually assign the job, manually select the operation, manually
select the part to be manufactured (you can actually select other items that
are NOT make direct), manually select the date to complete (date to complete
is not tied to the original job). It is extremely cumbersome.

All this could go away if Vantage had a "Make Direct Suggestions" similar to
PO Suggestions.


We have also discovered that the "Demand" for Make Direct Parts is not
summarized (accumulated) in Part Tracker. It apparently nets the
"suggestion" that shows up on the Time phase report with the Demand from the
job and creates a demand of "zero". Don't understand why demand does not
show up?

Therefore, if we run a query ... Demand for Make Direct Items does not show
up.

Does anyone have a better way?

I guess the above is why Epicor sells the MRP module ....
