Make Direct

I just wanted to understand why the Make Direct checkbox is defaulted as ticked in the job entry. I also checked in the Method Tracker, but the Make Direct checkbox is not visible there.

Does this setting come from the part record being marked as Non-Stock?

Additionally, when we perform a mass issue to manufacturing, we are getting the following error:
“No Assembly or Materials to Mass Issue for Job and Assembly No 0.”

Yes, exactly. As far as that error goes, I am not sure. Sometimes epicor gets a stuck job or line with a value of 0. Maybe support can fix it. Good luck!

PartPlant fields Nonstock = True AND SourceType = M results in Make Direct (JobMtl.Direct) = True

Nonstock = True AND SourceType = P results in Purchase Direct (JobMtl.BuyIt) = True

If you use transfer parts, i.e. SourceType = T, the SourceType for this part in the supply plant is evaluated and use to set the Direct flags.
