RE: Scheduling Materials

Weston,

You would use the "First Operation Where Used" in the BoM.  Code each
component with the routing operation sequence number of where the material
will be used.  Use this to help dispatch the Material.  The pick list can be
printed by operation sequence number.

Hello All.
I know this is a basic question, but I am perplexed.
How do you get the materials for a MO to be scheduled so that when
the operation steps is scheduled to start, the need materials are due?
Right now, If  I cut a MO today and a due date a couple of months out,
 all the materials are required today, when I don't need the materials until
the operations
are due to start.
Which module will schedule materials to coincide with the operations
schedule?
Thanks
