DEF-J Bill of Material Defaults (Evo-ERP)

Use this program to set defaults for the Bills of Material module.  All these defaults pertain to the Seq field within BM-A  Enter Bills of Material.  Components can be tied to the particular sequence within the routing in which they are actually used or consumed.  With these defaults you can make entry of the Seq field mandatory for selected inventory types so that entry of this field cannot be inadvertently skipped.

Tying bill of material components to specific routing sequences can have two uses.  One, materials tied to sequences can optionally print on the shop traveler within the sequence they are used.  Two, backflushing of components can be tied to routing sequences as production gets recorded through WO-F  Enter Labor.  This allows inventory to be backflushed as the work order progresses, rather than having to wait and backflush component inventory when finished goods are completed.

If neither of these features apply to your company, set these defaults  to N.
