Issue Builds

CCRQBOM can issue both single level and multiple level builds. Select the Explosion Level and enter the Quantity to build. Pay attention to the Use Subassembly Balances check box as described above. Then click on the Build (Requirements) button.

First, the program will display a requirements/shortage list (as discussed earlier).

If you don’t have enough low level parts to build the required quantity of the high level assembly then the Build button will be “grayed out” – you won’t be able to click on it.

If you have issued a single level build the screen will list the assembly to issue and the single-level “explosion” of that assembly. That presumes that you will have enough of any sub-assemblies on hand to use. Please note that CCRQBOM cannot issue a “pending build”.

If you have issued a full level build then the screen will list the assembly to issue, the components of that assembly (both subassemblies and component items), and the components of any subassemblies. IF an item is used in multiple places (multiple lines in one assembly, or multiple times in multiple subassemblies), then only one line for that item will show in the listing, with the aggregated requirements for that item.

Once the build is completed you will get a listing similar to what is shown below:

In this sample, we are issuing a full level build for 0050-MC. That requires a build for WHAS, and a build for PU-1800. CCRQBOM will issue the builds for the required subassemblies prior to issuing the highest level build. This report lists the job numbers that were issued by QuickBooks®.

If there is an error of some sort and the builds cannot all be issued the report will list the builds that have been rescinded, and any error messages.

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING LIMITATIONS WITH THE CURRENT RELEASE OF THIS PROGRAM:

•      CCRQBOM cannot issue a “pending build” in this function. If you wish to work with pending builds you must use the Multi-Build function..

•      Builds can only be issued if you have QuickBooks Premier 2006 (any US edition) or Enterprise 6.0, or later. You may find limitations with non-US editions older than 2009. You cannot issue a build with versions older than what is listed here.

•      You cannot set a BUILD DATE at this time. The build will always be issued for the current computer system date. That means you cannot post-date the build. It also means that you may have problems if you use the sample data files that QuickBooks provides, since those files are set to use a date several years in the future.

•      If you are updating inventory levels from another workstation it may interfere with job issues. For example – you may create a requirements report that says you do not have a shortage. If prior to pressing the “build” button another user adjusts inventory levels so that you don’t have enough items to complete the build, CCRQBOM won’t see that change. It will let you issue the build, but the build will fail. An error will be shown that says you cannot issue the build. NOTE that no data errors occur – the program will back out any partial builds. You just have to start over with a new requirements report.

•      CCRQBOM will ignore any balance on hand that you have of any subassemblies in a full level explosion if you do not check the Use Subassembly Balances box.

•      All transactions are issued in the base unit of measure.
