BOM entry quantity zero #11504
-
|
I work in a very small company that currently uses paper parts lists. It's a flexible system but tedious to back up and search, hence I am making a trial of Inventree (1.2.3). The hope is to convince colleagues to make a transition. It is quite common here (and I believe elsewhere) to have BOM lines with the quantity set to "REF". These lines specify useful information that does not lead to a purchase. They may be build instructions, schematics etc. but also buildable parts that are useful to know about, but purchased elsewhere in the BOM tree. Note that the REF is a property of the BOM line, not the part itself. If it was just circuit schematics, I guess I could make them virtual parts, but we often have REF lines a for a part that is called elsewhere with a normal integer quantity. I need a property of the BOM record not the part itself. Surely someone else has run into this issue. I would be very grateful if someone could suggest a solution/work-around that plays nicely with the Inventree system. |
