I don’t believe it would. When I tested it, it was because part X was no longer being purchased but we still had some on hand. Part Y was replacing it once we ran out of stock. We actually learned that it could not fully consume the inventory. If there were 2 of part X in stock but the job was calling for a qty of 10, it would just suggest 10 of part Y without consuming the 2.

Well darn! Seems like this is not the solution I am looking for then. I appreciate your responses.
If you can think up any way or possibility to do what I explained above, I’m all ears 
Well, why not stock the parts in ounces so you can keep them all under the same part number?
Sometimes Purchasing orders paint as kits because it’s more cost-effective and includes everything we need like the paint, primer, etc. But if kits aren’t available, they’ll buy the individual items instead (like tubes or cans).
Normally, we issue the kit to the job, but if we only have the separate components, we’ll manually switch to the tube or other items as needed.
Oh, that would be tough because there is no way to BUY a kit in Epicor. I wish their Sales Kit functionality would be extended to purchasing.
If I’m reading this correctly, you would EITHER issue the “kit” (all components included) or you’d issue each individual component, well, individually. If that is correct, could you restructure the BOM so that the “kit” is a subassembly made up of the individual components, and the “kit” part number has the Auto Consume Stock checkbox on the Site > Detail card selected? That way, theoretically, if there were enough “kits” in stock to fulfill the requirement, they would be picked from stock, and if not, the individual components would be.
This would probably require some testing so you’re material handlers would realize how they need to pick stuff, but might be worth a shot.
