Adding a material to an open job

I just noticed you can add any name of material to a job even if it does not exist as a part.
Then you cannot search for this material as it only exists in that job.
Is there a way to restrict adding material to a job that is not a part.
1)Open a job that is not closed
2)add a part called hello
3)add a description
4)add a quantity
5)save the job
Now search for that part or material
Thanks

I don’t think there is any company configuration setting for this. So you would need to do a bpm on this. Trace out the adding material process to identify the method to put the restriction in, and throw and exception if the part does not exist in the partplant table where the current plant = the plant in the part plant table.
