Multiple-level Bills of Material

["Rob Stagis" <stagis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

4.05CD (the only way to fly)

Our boss wants to see the complete bill of material on shop orders.  Is this
do-able without program modifications?  Our product line is generally
buy-one-modify-one-sell-one, but in a few areas, we buy one, make something
and stock it, then make something else out of it.  I can modify SFC560 to do
this, but he'd also like to see it on MRP reports, at least the exception
and detail reports (MRP200 and -240).  So I guess this is a two-pronged
question:

Without programming, can:

SFC560 print a multiple-level bill of materials

MRP200 and 240 print something approaching that, along with the associated
orders?

Thanks - Rob

BPCS 4.05 CD..
Detail Capacity Planning job runs 2 pgms:
1. Read Detail FOD records from Open Shop Orders
    ( which were created from std Boms, Rtgs, Wrk Ctrs....
      and which may have been manually manipulated)
2. Read Planned Orders (KFP) from MRP/MPS,
    then read std Boms, Rtgs,Wrk Ctrs, Shop Calendar
    (similarly to SFC500 )

THUS
MRP/MPS Uses a lead time entry
SFC/CAP uses rtgs hours & qtys *& available days....
