Hi Guys,
I am new to this so it might be a basic question.
If I add a material and operations to a part in eng workbench
and make it a stock part, then insert this part into a higher level part
When I create a job for the higher level part will the material be consumed automatically?
If I make the part to be made direct and follow the same as above will the material be consumed automatically.
If you add an in-house manufactured part as a material (child) on a higher-level (parent) manufactured part, Epicor will treat it as any other material on the parent part. Since it’s manufactured:
if the Non-Stock flag is NOT selected (default functionality, what you appear to be calling a “stock part”), the system will check existing inventory to see if it’s there, if so, nothing happens… if not, it will create a job suggestion to make those parts to stock so that they WILL be available.
if the Non-Stock flag IS selected, the system will just go ahead and create a job suggestion whether or not you have them on the shelf.
