Routings With Different Operation Run Quantities

Epicor ERP 10
1

Oper 1: Saw a bar to Length.
Oper 2: Do other Stuff
Oper 3: Saw bar to 4 shorter pieces.
Oper 4: Do more stuff
…
…

The job starts at 5 pieces and ends at 20.
The issue is the Operation Run Quantities at Oper1 & 2 are 5 pieces and Oper3, 4,… are 20 pcs.
We would prefer -not- to have two different parts, routings, and jobs…as in the standard make LongBar to stock and then issue to ShortBar Job.

I think the other way is Pull As Assembly, but presents other data entry issues.
LongBar is Make to Order (MTO), you create the MOM/Job to have Pull as Assembly on LongBar. This will create a routing (1st Assembly) for the LongBar and the parts will flow directly to the 2nd Assembly for the ShortBar.

Any other ideas on how we might handle this?

Sounds like a perfect case for Advanced UOM? From what i understand its all about managing different sizes of the same part number. Misc scrap pieces that can be reused but aren’t a different stock. ETC

You want to use the Qty/Parent on the Operation. Using your example it would be a Qty/Parent of .25 on Oper 3.

Thanks, I will give this a shot. I was hoping there was an easier way to handle this.

I’m confused, what is difficult about changing a field on a job operation?

I think you miss-understood, this is the easier way.

The difficult part is…If I would have created two subassemblies in one job, we would have had issues with Operators selecting the correct subassembly when entering labor. We have enough issues with basic data entry.
