Hello: Our company uses BOMs/Assembly Entry for light manufacturing. When an assembly is saved as "released," is that recorded as an Item Transaction (Inventory: Inquiry: Item Transaction) even if the assembly is not posted? What if the status is changed from "released" to "not released" and then deleted? I'm wondering because when I look up individual components in Item Transaction, assemblies are often listed more than once, which I can see because of the way we number the assemblies. I'm also wondering if these duplicate item transactions directly impact the item quantities. If the multiple item transactions aren't caused by the assembly entry process, what else could cause the duplicates? Thank you, EMS

EMS, could you send me a screenshot of what you're seeing in the system to fhamelly@intellpartners.com? That will help me visualize the issue you're describing. Thanks, Frank

I do not see how to assign different sites to different components into an assembly. Can i do that in Inventory BOM?

I work principally with the BOM/Kit portion of GP. I would like to query the database for where an item is used in BOMs and Kits.

Have a look at BM00101 and BM00111 and design your query based on the relevant fields in these two tables. Good luck! Frank E.

We do light manufacturing and do not have the Manufacturing Module. When I am in the "Bill and Items" lookup window of the assembly window I see that my view is "Active Bills, by Bill number" when I click the arrow I see "Active Bills" as my only option, everything else is grayed out. Is it possible to activate the other options somewhere in the set up? Is there a book that deals in detail with assembling items in Dynamics GP. I know how to do the basics, but am looking for what creative things others have done when they ran up against brick walls.

I have to use the assembly window in order to registir some items in inventory module, and I want to use a macro to do this task in an automatic way, the problem is that according with the operation of my company sometimes there is not enough raw materiales quantities in stock to do it, in that case we omit the inventory shortage, but we cannot identify when the window with the alert about the message of shortage will be open or not. There is any way to program this event and the way the macro should process this event to continue charging the information?

I use GP as per above and i am having a problem finding information
We set up 2 stage assembly's for multiple locations in GP in advance and have them set as "not released", then a month or so later when ever we need to begin processing it we use that original document number and set for "released" to process and push as per normal.
More often than not we have to use a new document number due to partial batches, which leaves the old document number open.
I need to find a way to smart list search for " NOT RELEASED STATUS w/ document numbers" so i can find them and close them out.
