4.0 - Quote and Purchase Suggestions dilemma

Since each piece in essence requires a whole length you'll have to define
the usage as .75 with .25 scrap (or .25 salvage to ??). That should show a
requirement of 4 in Purchasing.

Subject: [Vantage] 4.0 - Quote and Purchase Suggestions dilemma


A quote contains a material requirement for a quantity of 4 at .75 length of
Part A. Parts are inventoried as the whole. This creates a purchase
suggestion for a quantity of 3 (4 * .75). We will issue a quantity of 4 to
this job, because we do not track anything less than a whole piece.

How do you live with this? What's more important, the quote or the purchase
suggestion?
