Well, yeah, but I’m assuming that you are returning assemblies to inventory in order to locate them right? Why else would you return the assemblies to inventory? (If that’s what you are doing). If you have auto move on, it’s a pain to move things around physically in WIP. Wip move is more about moving it from one operation to the next, not moving from one bin to another. So if you want a real location on your WIP parts, and it’s not the same every time, it’s way easier to use the material queue to do the move.

If you want to make a dashboard to move stuff around WIP, check out this thread.

Yeah, raw materials come from inventory, so you need a transaction to move them from inventory into the Job.

Are you just worried because you don’t see a transaction history on the assembly part numbers? There are no part transaction histories on the assemblies within a job. You don’t need it.

Exactly, this is what it is designed to do.
