Re: [WebERP-developers] Inventory in Manufacturing

[webERP D. <web...@li...>]

Hi Bob,

If you need tracability back to the item, then you need individual work 
orders. Or some other functionality to manage the tracing. I almost 
wonder if it may be better to maintain the components of each completed 
item as a separate exercise - perhaps as part of the completion - 
receiving finished items against a work order with serialised output 
items and input items. Perhaps a new table created that stores the 
components serial numbers for each serialised/batch controlled component 
for the serialised output item - and this process being added to the 
receiving completed items from the work order. A bit of work - but would 
resolve this issue for you. Would be a nice contribution :-)
