A question is raised by one of our customers regarding App75 and App9 functionality.



In App9, when we create shop order components which has "Not Consumed" lines with expense parts are no longer showing zero in the following columns:



Quantity per Assembly,



Comp Qty Req,



and Qty Remaining



But in App 75 those fields are shown as zeros.



Please verify.
The reason the way that the "Not Consumed" Material Qty Required, etc. was changed is because so many of our users wanted to be able to see the Qty Required on the Work Instructions. When user Reserves material, the Shop Order shows that the Not Consumed lines do not get Reserved, and they also don't get Issued even if you Backflush the whole Shop Order. In fact, a Material line marked as Not Consumed will not allow a user to Manually issue.



Personally, I like the extra information, but if you're using a custom Pick List, it might require revising.

So, there's no change on the Product Structure, no change on the cost, no change on the component requirements, no change on the quantity that gets used on the SO. The only change is on the display for the new orders .

Hi, can you explain how the part type “expense” on purchased inventory parts is working? Information to us was, that it will not be counted into stock (stock will always be 0), but you can still have it as a “not consumed” and expense in your BOM. However, we do get it into stock and stock-value increases because it is not cosumed.
