Our company recently purchased QB Enterprise, and we are going through the steps to bring it online with our small company. We currently use QB Pro, and the lack of manufacturing tools for tracking inventory and creating BOM's prompted us to try this new version.
We have successfully created BOM's, but have hit a snag in processing the orders and backflushing our inventory quanties of BOM items. Here's an example of our problem:
We create a part out of raw materials (P/N 001) which uses xxx lbs of component A (Inventory Item) and XXX lbs of component B (Inventory Item). I can create a qty of 001's by doing a "Build" which backflushes Comonent A and B.
However, if I enter a sales order for an assembly (P/N 002) which uses 1-001 and 1- Component C (another inventory item), and I process the sales order (close the order, create the invoice/packing slip) we cannot get the quantities on the 002 BOM to automatically relieve without having to go through the process of another "build."
Is there a way to automatically link a "build" to a completed/processed order? I would think this is a logical thing to do, but we can't find how to do it.
Help? Intuit has been less than helpful in this.
Sorry for the longwinded question! Thanks
