For those of us that import BOM’s, then add operations, it would be nice if there was a button or menu item to relate all materials to the first operation. Currently I have to go down the list and set each one, and every time you change lines, it goes through a save. That makes large assemblies take a long time.
Can you use DMT?
I could, but it’s that in between amount of time, where by the time I set everything up for DMT it’s probably about the same as changing each of the lines.
I was just thinking that since when you paste in materials, it automatically defaults to the first op, a button to do the same thing would make sense.

What about Paste/Update? That an option? sorry trying to find you a solution that will actually happen in more realistic timeline
Paste/Update will be the fastest way of getting there.
Alternatively, you can have a BPM set that field on all materials of the same assembly when an operation is first added.
It’s still going to update in each line, so not any faster.
That’s a good idea, I’ll look at trying that.
I made something in the past that works like Get From Operations… but instead it syncs from a previous Group ID… this above is a poor example because I picked 2 random ones and it failed to relate any… but definitely should be on Epicor’s Radar, plus it runs 50x faster than paste/update.
Because sometimes you have a Revision and you added or removed a few operations… and the user typically had to manually re-assign like 200+ materials… So I created a “lets sync from a selected GroupID” what we can, and what we can’t hilights yellow requires manual intervention or it defaults to 10.
