Steve - I ran into the same problem several months back, and
Vantage could
not give me an answer. You will find that the same thing will
happen if you
change the build qty in any way. We have a built in scrap
factor, which will
drive the lower ass'y to a larger qty to cover any scrap that we
encounter
along the way. But when I change the build qty for a job, I
found that the
scrap rate goes to zero, and I ended up with nothing to cover
scrap parts.
So far, the only thing that I have been able to do is MANUALLY
input an
overrun factor on the jobs that I change. This seems ridiculous
to me, but
Vantage offered no support. I believe it is still an open issue
for them.

I just ran across a result of a job split which is disturbing as
I don't
think we did anything to cause this situation to happen.
Instead of delivering all the product for a customer next month,
the
customer requested we deliver the product over eight months with
shipments every two months. We had issued most purchase orders
against
the original job number. We split the job into three additional
jobs,
making four jobs with four equal deliveries. But the three new
jobs had
quantity differences at the lower level from the original jobs.
Everything seemed OK, but starting at the second level of the
bill of
material the quantity per parent reverted back to 1 per parent.
Has
anyone else encountered this?

I just tried this in Vantage training and verified that when the
job is
split the Sub-Assembly quantity/parent was again changed back to
1.
Does anybody know why?
