in 607b we attached a phantom part to a physical part we are doing work on. This BOM was adding the operations that were needed to be done to it. We would select rev PP(containing a paint BOM) and that would add the operations of the paint process. Now when we create the job it doesn't carry over the operation, instead it adds the subassemblies to the job but we have to manually do Actions>Job>get details on the jobs for each part. The order job wizard should be doing that process for us but it is not. I still haven't heard back from epicor on whether this is an error on our side or theirs. I would think that there would be more issues with this if it was a production issue. If you happen to try it out please let me know if it works or not.

The project will think it's still there and wont load because it is looking for it. (Anyone else having problems with this? Epicor was able to recreate this error and I'm surprised no one has mentioned this one)
