We are relatively new to Business Central and we are a manufacturing to order firm - but most of what we do is assemble items, we don't need the routing of the manufacturing module/premier license. I've been looking at the jobs module and I have a few questions.
For our assemblies (which can be complex with lots of items and sub assemblies) is there a way to tie an assembly order to a job? I don't see anything in the assembly order that would allow me to do this - there aren't any fields I can add to the assembly order that are job related like there are in a purchase order lines. I did see where I can add an assembly BOM to the job planning lines manually like any other item but there isn't a corresponding entry in the assembly order referencing that job planning line.
If we want to gather all relevant inventory costs, do all items have to be added as a job planning line? (I was hoping that I could simply add an assembly and shortcut the adding of potentially hundreds of lines for parts).
Is there a way to generate purchase orders from the job planning lines like there is from the sales order?
I know I don't really know much yet about this module but it appears as if there is a lot of manual editing that needs to happen to make it work the way we are hoping it will.
Thank you for any advice you can provide.
