You could also "auto-receive" the widget job to stock and "backflush" them
to the "ABC" & "XYZ" jobs to eliminate the manual transactions. Warning!!!
do not "auto-receive" the widgets unless they are a standard cost part.

Amy:
That's precisely how I handle it. There's no law that says you must make a
make-to-stock (m-t-s) job and keep qty on the shelf.
I have found that its been awfully handy to have 1 or 2 of those repeaters
on
hand once in a while.
In either case, you only need one traveler for as many widgets as needed,
and
can still apply the cost to as many m-t-o jobs as necessary.
