Dummy items in BOMs
I am using WebERP for a business which manufactures small electro-mechanical machines.
Some of the components of the machines are welded assemblies.
The weld assemblies are being purchased as finished welded assemblies, ready for in-house final assembly.
Each welded assembly consists of a few parts, each with a technical drawing.
Although the component parts will never be purchased (only the parent welded assembly will be purchased) and do not need to be items which carry stock, I would like to display them in the Bill of Material, so it is obvious to a Purchaser which technical drawings need to be sent to a supplier with each order placed.
I have read about dummy items in the manual, but whatever I try, I the 'dummy' component parts are not selectable when constructing a BOM for the welded assembly.
I have tried various combinations of Stock Category = Dummy and Make/Buy = Service/Labour.
Is what I am trying to do even possible, and if so, what is the required set-up?
Thanks.
