A non-stock purchase part in a generated a job will be purchase direct. If you want it purchased to stock, make the part a stock part.
The screwed up time phase view of OH/supply/demand is because the part is non-qty bearing. (Do you WANT it to be non qty bearing?)

I figured it out. Non-stock was unchecked and quantity bearing was
checked. But on the job, for some reason the field 'purchase direct' was
checked. I don't know why and we never use that field. I cannot find
this in the materials detail of the revision, so it appears that the
purchase direct field in job entry does not derive its value from
anywhere else so you can only maintain this in the job - am I correct?
Clarification: In time phase, it added up stock and receipts but did not
reduce the balance by the required qty's.
Thanks for your help.

Yes, this would be caused by the Non-Stock check box set to true and the
Quantity Bearing box set to false on the Part Plant tab in Part Entry.
We have parts that we consider "Floor Stock/Vendor Managed" inventory,
e.g. washers, nuts, bolts, etc. that we do not track inventory for but
wish to include in the BOM. Most companies will not include these parts
in the BOM but will have them on the drawing since these parts are
normally expense items and are included in the overhead/burden cost. The
Quantity Bearing check box was added in Vantage 8.03 back in September
of 2006. It was a great aid for us because we have hundreds of those
parts in our BOM.
Be careful in using this box as it generate issues in other areas such
as shortage reports, Production Planner Workbench, etc. We had to
customize most of the reports, dashboards and trackers to eliminate
those items. Epicor did not take it quite far enough when they added the
feature.
Please be aware that those check boxes can be set differently on the
Part detail tab and the Plant tab in Part Entry.

Direct indicates a non-stock setup part that must be purchased-direct to
individual job or order requirements.
We don't do ANY purchase-direct (other than subcontract services) so I
can't explain the odd sounding zero balance behavior. (Possibly the
parts involved are also set up as non-Qty Bearing?)
Check you Part & PartPlant settings when you encounter another one and
compare it to parts that give you 'normal' timephase behavior.

v8.03x
When viewing time-phase on purchase parts, sometimes the column labeled
'exception' has the word 'direct'. What does this mean?
Also, our buyer tells me that when this is there, the time-phase does
not calculate balances on these parts. It's always zero balance.
thanks in advance
