Trying to finalize setup of the ""world famous"" work order module for Sage 100 4.5, finalizing setup of the outside processing step and noticing that /misc CHARGE type codes are the only codes that can be used on Bills of Material and a unit quantity can be specified; however, only /misc ITEM type can have quantity processing in the Purchase Order module - but cant be used on a bill of material. Customer needs to issue PO's for the outside processing and link to work orders for proper outside process tracking and cost application... I guess they will have calculate each total charge on the PO - since they can't enter a quantity (I.e. 150 ea @ $3.17 per unit for painting), or i will need to setup both types and use one for BOM and the other for PO. Any other ideas/feedback appreciated.
Note: I know /misc items don't come across in Work Order - but i use a sub-report to search bill of material for the /items to show specific steps for outside processing required on the WO traveler - since may need to go to several outside vendors (see attached example).
