We’re on version 9.05.702A. We, too, have subassemblies that can be sold separately or as part of a kit. Jobs would be entered in a manner that the subassembly is listed in the materials section, which requires them to be issued to the job. The subassemblies are being produced on a separate job, then are supposed to be manually issued to the job of the top assembly. Often times, that hasn’t been completed in a timely manner, throwing costs into different periods than where they belong.
What we’ve decided to do is enter the subassembly job as a make to stock and have them auto received into inventory on final operation. Then we’re going to backflush the material line of the top assembly on final operation as well. We also have lot tracking, but with our lot numbers essentially being the same as the job number, we’re able to track where they came from. This allows us to change the part setup to FIFO without lot tracking and add backflush. We’re just implementing this, so no results are available at this time.
Hope this gives you some ideas.

Unless you have a ton of materials for each assemblies, you could always issues everything, but then go back and zero those you don’t want issued.
Only helpful if there aren’t a ton of materials on the subassembly.
You never know, someone on the list might have come up with something clever to help you out!

Unless I am doing something wrong, the mass issue will only allow me to issue at the subassembly level. I need to issue the materials underneath the subassemblies.
I have never created an updatable dashboard but, I will try this option to see if it helps.
Unfortunately, we cannot back flush because we lot track everything.
Thank you for responding Manasa.

First what version are you on?
Second, I speak for versions before 10.
Out of the box there is no way to do this. That said, have you looked at mass issue? You can actually control what is issued on this screen. You don't have to issue all parts on the job. Another tool to look at is possible writing an updatable dashboard to
handle the transactions.
One more idea to look at is POSSIBLY making these parts back flushable. But this is an all or nothing feature meaning you only either back flush the part all the time regardless of the job or you don't.

Subject: [Vantage] Combining Materials
I have a top level that has several subassemblies. The subassemblies can be ordered individually or a customer can order a complete system. When the materials are issued, right now we are having to issue the same 7-8 parts to all of the different subassemblies.
Is there a way to combine the materials on the top level without manually adding them up?
