Job BOM Settings That Affect Serialized Items

The following work order job BOM properties affect the serialization of items in the production process.

• Default Storage Location Use this property to specify to which entity the produced serialized item will be moved when the job is completed. By setting the default storage entity for each job, you can control the flow of serialized items through the production process.

• Update Inventory This option must be selected for each job BOM in the work order.

• Must Consume from Inventory This option must be selected for each job BOM in the work order.

• Must Consume from WIP Optional. WIP is Work-in-progress. This option is used to tie serialized items to a particular work order.

  If this option is selected (hard-pegged), serialized items produced by this job cannot be transferred to another work order. Note, however, the serialized items produced by soft-pegged work orders can be transferred to hard-pegged work orders.

  If it is not selected (soft-pegged), serialized items produced by this job can be transferred between work orders as they flow through the manufacturing process.

  Typically, this option will either be selected for all jobs in the work order or none of the jobs in the work order.

• May choose alternate inventory location Optional. Select this option to allow operator users to select a storage location for serialized items produced by the job other than the default storage location.
