Ann,
Vantage handles this quite easily if you set-up the Part Master correctly.
1. In the BOM, link the material to the operation that takes this material into WIP.
2. Make sure the operation is reportable, i.e. labor entry method is either "qty only" or "time and quantity." Do not use labor entry method "backflush" as labor and material transactions will wait until the next reportable operation. You want inventory relieved as soon as it's used.
3. The material should be backflushable (is there such a word?). Go to the part master inv/purch screen. Upper right hand corner tick box marked backflush should be ticked.
If you do the above, all new jobs created using that BOM will be set-up to backflush inventory at time of use. The Job BOM will show each material related to an operation and the backflush control defaults to yes. As soon as an operation is reported, all materials associated to that operation will be relieved from inventory.
If you already have jobs in the system which you want to behave in the same manner, you need to go thru step 1 & 2 for each and every material line in each and every job BOM, plus tick the backflush box beside the related operation input. You only need to do step 3 once. Soon as a part is ticked as backflushable in the part master, the backflush box will default to yes as soon as a related operation is available.
Another option, the lazy boy approach: if the production leadtime is short enough, use the Job Completion screen to backflush completed jobs. That way, material inventories are relieved even if the items are not yet shipped or received to finished good inventory.
If you have the time, I strongly recommend setting-up the Part Master correctly over the lazy-boy approach.
Hope this helps.

Subject: [Vantage] Relieving Inventory
Version 6.1: What is the best way to relieve inventory so that as
soon as a part becomes WIP or is moved to a different warehouse, it
is relieved from the original warehouse.
The current problem is that the part must ship before it is
relieved. If the part is a component in an assembly which is
assembled and sitting in a box for 3 months, it does not relieve that
component until it ships, even though it is no longer available.
This is my understanding anyway.
TIA
