Testing Manufactured Part

We normally create a new job to represent the new work, with the new
quantity only (20 in your example below). The first job for 10 would be
closed once that work was completed. Some of our parts will reach a
dozen jobs each month, but its easy to make a new job for a stock part -
take a look at the Quick Job Entry screen. (Most of our jobs are make
to stock, and we have different jobs for making assemblies at one plant
vs the final product at another plant).

Subject: [Vantage] testing Manufactured Part





Up to now we have structured all of our jobs in Epicor as made to order
using purchased parts. However, we would like to begin keeping an on
hand qty in inventory of certain subassemblies. To do this I thought I
would simply create a manufactured part made to stock. As I test this I
am finding that I am not able to manufacture the same part over and over
in small quantities without the job traveler reflecting a cumulated
production qty.

For example, I manufacture 10 parts (80001) and issue them to stock
giving me a QOH of 10. Later those 10 are then placed on job 110615's
BOM and subsequently issued to that job. When I need 20 more for job
110616 I have been going to the new part, 80001, creating a new demand
for stock and entering that qty. However, at this point the part shows
that 10 are in WIP and 10 have been received. The QOH is 0. When I print
the job traveler for fabrication of 20, it prints a requirement of 30,
which is the previous 10 I manufactured and issued plus the new
quantity.

What am I missing here? I simply desire to manufacture a part that will
be used intermittently in BOMs on multiple jobs, which will accumulate
an on hand qty when left over. In the past part 80001 was a subassembly
on 110615. However, the frequency of its use and the tendency to have
left over quantities after its assembly makes it perfect, I thought, for
a part manufactured to stock. Am I wrong?
