Sage 100

I attempted and finally gave up, but went with the ScanForce Make to Order add-on.

Created an import into sales order entry, the source file only had the item and the quantity, everything else required assigned in the job. Then go to sales order and select create Work Ticket, and print work tickets then deleted the sales order. Works great. My client was importing about 100-200 lines to the sales order, from import to printing process takes about 2 minutes.

Interesting/impressive workaround. I have a customer using the ScanForce Make to Order add-on with PM and they keep telling me how happy they are to use it. They don't do the VI step but they create the orders and follow through with work tickets.

I highly recommend the ScanForce make to order addon for PM.  I have a few clients using it.

I am looking into this add-on for a client.  Just to confirm - it doesn't automatically allocate the work ticket completions to the customer's sales order, correct?  It's more like the standard Production Management "soft sales order link", but it automates the whole work ticket creation (and auto creates subassembly WTs which is great)?

Yes, it automates the work ticket creation and links the work ticket and sales order.  I'm pretty sure it allocates the qty completed for the sales order.  ScanForce can easily answer that and they are very responsive.  Contact Mae Roche, mae@scanforce.com.

Why is the ScanForce add-on needed if you're importing into S/O Entry and then selecting Create W/T?  Or is it the add-on that allows for selecting Create W/T in S/O Entry?  Is that not a standard PM feature?

@Brett Zimmerman it is the add-on that allows creation of W/T from Sales Order Entry.  I also got the answer to my question, which is that work ticket completions DO NOT auto-create a shipment/invoice from the customer sales order (as in Operations Management).
