Rhonda,
Thanks for the advice. Epicor actually emailed me the "fix" but it still is
an end-around.
By entering a Miscellaneous receipt from the subcontractor for 0.01 pcs and
$0.00 dollars, then choosing the job and operation, this will "un-complete"
the completed Plating operation and allow for another drop shipment.

Yes, that's a mess and I haven't heard of any fixes for it. We had it
happen
a few times and then I had to threaten people to get it to stop. To work
around it you
can enter an "added operation" for the rest of the parts. (then manually
close it when you know it's all done) It's not a good fix for us, because we
have controlled routings and are not free to make changes to them.

You could also just do a manual PO without actually tagging it to the job.
Then make gobs of comments and memos everywhere(job, PO, etc.) and ask
accounting to
make manual journal entries to apply the cost of the work to the job. This
seems
to be the best option for us. Accounting doesn't mind too much if it
doesn't happen
a lot. (Right, Deb?) Just make sure you don't use anything in the part #
field that is already in your Part Master. (that will mess up your
inventory)

Subject: "Un-completing" an operation for a job

Hello All.
I have a job set up in Vantage, with the following operations:
Op 10 = set-up process
Op 20 = manufacturing process
Op 30 = Inspection Process
Op 40 = Sub-contractor plating process
Op 50 = Final Inspection Process prior to shipment to customer
Now, I have a job set up for 10,000 pcs. 5,000 pcs were shipped last
week to our subcontractor. Now my shipping department wants to ship
the balance to our plater, but on that specific job, Operation 40
shows as complete. I have tried to no avail to "un-complete" this
operation. When I try to generate a P.O. for my plater and refer to
this specific job, there is nothing left to "pull" from Operation 40,
and op 40 shows as complete.
I have tried numerous different strategies to "un-complete" Op 40,
but all to no avail.... As an "end-around," I generated a new job for
the remaining 5,000 pcs, created the P.O., shipped the parts, then
immediately closed the job. This is not the correct way to
accomplish this, but I HAD to ship parts...
Anyone with any assistance, it would be GREATLY appreciated...

Thanks In Advance
Keith
