Autobuild - existing item

Naj

Hi eveyone,

Started a new role few weeks ago.

 

Currently they are doing an inventory adjustment after each production run to reflect the changes in stock level. It is very manual and I want to automate it.

 

I cannot turn on auto build on exsiting item of sale

 

How do I go around this please? Do I need to create a new item? 

What happens to the items for raw materials? Do i need to cancel them too and create new ones?

 

Your help will be much appreciated.

Thnak you.

Hi @Naj 

 

Generally speaking, if you do have an auto-build item that does need to be set up you would be looking at creating a new item within the Item list with the desired items that make up that item in the Auto-build tab.

 

In terms of an existing item, it does appear that the system can set up that information by directly adding that associated information to the Auto-Build item. There may be a history of that item i.e. committed or on order values that may impact that ability. If that is the case, those transactions could be investigated and deleted. Alternatively, creating a new item for the auto-build item and potentially doing an inventory adjustment to transfer the existing stock to that new item.
