I am trying to set an alternate method during order job wizard with a BPM. So that when the job is created it uses the alternate method. Is this possible?
Scenario: For our service parts we want to use an alternate method so they are scheduled to a different resource than when being built as a sub assembly of a finished good. Our Service parts department can use job order wizard, but I don’t want them messing around in any of the other job screens. Is there a way I can set the Alternate method whenever they process a job through order job wizard?
I have the below BPM which is set as a pre-process on Erp.BO,OrderJobWiz.CreateJobs, but something isn’t working.
Condition 0 - Part of the Parts Department
Condition 1 - If BAQ has more than one. BAQ filters to match the partnum from the release partrev with a partrev that has a PARTORDER alternate method
Set field 0 - Set ds.JWOrderRel.DefaultAltMethod field of the changed row to the “PARTORDER” expression.
I’m wondering… if you could attempt setting the default on the OrderDtlRow instead of the release. Hopefully if you set the Line, the release will inherit the value?
Not sure how it is with service parts, but there is a field on partplant where you can put the primary alternate revision so that when MRP runs it grabs that revision.
I am not sure how manual job creation would work/job creation through order job wizard but maybe just maybe that too checks this field and uses that alternate revision… you’d have to test it out for yourself. See screenshot of the field below:
