FYI...I finally discovered the reason that the Days Out were not pulling correctly into the Job.
The BOM in question had one subcontract operation and there was no Unit Cost filled in, but there was an entry in the Days Out. However, when the Job Details were pulled in there was a Unit Cost, but no Days Out. After further investigation and discussion, I found that there is a Supplier Price List that allows multiple prices and lead times (which become Days Out) that will override the general information in the BOM.

Once we get job details, we go to the Job Entry/Operation/Subcontract Operation and the Days Out field is zero. I don't know if this version has a bug, but it does not work for us.

In the help screen on "Engineering Workbench - Operations Subcontract" it says, and I am summarizing, that this is the estimated number of production days the parts will be out, and this will be used when scheduling the job.

Both help screens however, state that the Days Out is pulled from the operation and therefore should be seen on the Job once the Job Detail is brought in. However, our is not pulling the Days Out into the Job at all.
