Component Backflushing

I don't THIN you need AMM for this. WHERE the backflush occurs is determined by the backflush whse/bin called for in the job detail method OP's scheduled resource that is tied to the material.

Note: 400 series has a bug (perhaps resolved in 406+?) where it is really the resource GROUP's backflush whse/bin that controls where the backflush is done from.

I believe AMM only extends the number of OPs a method can have and also provides auto-move capability for WIP between OPs.

Apparently I don't understand the options available to me for backflushing components on a job. We don't have AMM, so that may be part of the reason I'm not seeing what I want.
Â
We have "free stock" components like nuts, bolt, screws that we would like to know what the on-hand quantity is but NOT have to mass issue to the job. Rather, when the job operation they are associated with is complete, the on-hand would be reduced.
Â
What I am seeing is that I have a choice between A) non-quantity bearing parts that must have a zero on-hand (not desired). That will, at least, not require a mass issue to the job; or B) maintain parts as quantity bearing with an on-hand balance but now it needs to be evaluated in the process of mass issuing to a job.
Â
The backflush checkbox on the part plant record only gets into sharing the withdrawal of the component from multiple plants.
Â
Given my multiple wants is that possible within the constraints of the standard modules or is this an optional-cost AMM need? We are on 406 Progress.
Â
Thanks,

Have the material on the job flagged as backflush (part must be set up
as backflushed in the part master). Then assign an operation to the
material to do the backflushing. It will then backflush based on labor
quantities recorded and the quantity per parent you assigned. Make sure
it is not flagged as purchased on the job or make direct. You will then
need to assign the warehouse you want to pull from.
