Issuing Material (that isn't on the BOM) to a job

system · August 29, 2008, 1:56pm

FYI,,,,,

The ADP/Payroll interface is such an animal....every SP release requires
another $1K to Epicor for recompiling the code for your installation.

We recently requested a customization using Excel as a graphic scheduler
for creating a Master Production Graphic schedule. The construction
required a new dll which put the customization into recompilation every SP
and Patch (= $).

We are currently working with CS to possibly use the dll that is used with
the MS Project interface and present the Master Production Gantt Chart in
MS Project, hopefully avoiding the additional recompilation charges since
the MSP dll is maintained concurrent with Patches & SP's.

Forgive me if this has been discussed before. But trying to search
the 68,000+ messages, using more than three search words, usually
ends up with a Yahoo 'server too busy error'.

What's the best way to issue material to a job, if it's not on the
jobs material list?

I've tried using the 'Issue Material' program, but that requires you
select a material sequence already in the job. You can change the
P/N for that sequence, and the issues go through. But the Job Detail
reports show the P/N of the item in the job's material list, with the
cost of the actual part issued.

Using the 'Issue Material' method looks like a good way to issue
material substituted for that in the manufacturing details (ie: using
stainless steel screws, instead of the specified zinc plated).

But I'm looking for a way to add material to a job without having to
redefine the job. We stock various sizes of ship crates, and the
crate used can not be accurately determined at the time the job is
defined.

Should I make a dummy P/N (non-stocked? & qty bearing?) and put on
all jobs. Then use the 'Issue Material' program and substitue the
real part? Or is there another (preferably better) way?

Thanks in advance,

Calvin Krusen

Calvin, I've never had this need, so not sure.
But you can set any part (material) to have acceptable substitute parts.
If you have not looked, it's a tab in Part Master.
You can set a generic "placeholder" part when creating the router.
When you know the actual part, add it to placeholder part as a valid substitute.
Haven't done this, so I could be all wet, but seems to me that it would work.

We actually paid for a customization to the handheld software to allow
this capability. The Issue Material screen now has an "Add" button that
allows them to add and issue in one step.

I've since realized that this likely could've been developed in house
and worked better then the customization we have now that requires us to
pay every minor release (which is a joke in and of itself). We'll
likely be changing this to our own work in the future as we see the need
to move to a minor release and don't want to pay for a version update to
our customization.

Ken,

You are charged for the customization each time there is a new
release? Unreal! We had considered custom programming for an
unrelated item - but if they charge anything after the initial
programming I would have to think we will stay away from it.

Have a great day,

Brian

We are on 6.1, but I'm sure you can do the same thing on other versions:

We have a part called GNMTL (generic material) that gets added to the
top level of the job. You can then issue what ever material you wish,
or even purchase direct to it. It's set up as a non-stock, purchased
material.

We do the same thing.Â We add a generic part to every job as a placeholder for "unplanned issues".Â Then any extra materials can be issued against this item.Â Just be sure to develop a process for reviewing these transactions to prevent abuse.

Is your GNMTL part set as Quantity Bearing?

What happens if someone 'accidently' uses the Mass Issue to Mfg, and
issues all materials (including the GNMTL part)?

Hi Calvin,

No it's not. We wouldn't (or shouldn't any way) buy or make anything
with that part number. If it did hit stock, it'd be a big red flag that
something wasn't entered correctly. We look at the Neg on Hand part
numbers weekly, so if it was accidentally issued, it would be caught
quickly. You could also set the part up with a part class that doesn't
allow neg inventory, it would stop an accidental issue.

That is correct.

Everytime we want to move to a new release (404 to 405) we have to pay
for them to test & recompile against the potential new business logic.
I asked for a version that compiled without a version number and allow
us to test on a test server to see if we had an issue with business
logic, at which point we could then pay for the fixes. Note that letter
version changes work (405a to 405b) without the recompile.
