Auto Build Assembly Item

Access to this feature may only be available with the ‘Complete’ edition. Ask your Wasp representative for details.

TThe Auto Build feature as the name indicates eliminates most of the steps generally required for a Build Assembly Item to streamline the process. Since most of the steps have been removed, there are limitations to which Assembly Items can be automatically built. Most of the limitations are related to the sub items that make up the Bill of Materials. The limitations are as follows:

• The items in the Bill of Materials should be located only in one location that the user has access to, or have only one primary location in the currently selected working sites.
• The items in the Bill of Materials should not have any required trackby fields.

The reason for these limitations is because the AutoBuild process will automatically select and remove the Bill of Materials for the Assembly item, but it can only do so if there is no ambiguity in the inventory needed to be removed.

Keep in mind that while you can add Assembly Items through the Adjust and Audit functions, doing this will not affect the inventory amounts for the sub items. You should only add Assembly Items using these functions if you want to add inventory to an Assembly Item due to a return or Audit discrepancy. To increase your inventory for an Assembly Item and decrease your inventory for the sub-items, use the Build or AutoBuild feature.
