05/29/2019, 2:31 PMIs there an assembly equivalent of "reorder multiple" - such as a "rebuild multiple"? When we Build certain Assemblies, we only want to create Work Orders in multiples of 4, 8, 12 etc.

05/29/2019, 3:37 PMWe have an Inventory Item - lets say its a loaf of bread. And lets say we cut 1 load into 20 slices (assembly item built from .05 of the loaf). If we need to "build" 28 slices, we want the work order to call for 40 slices, so that we use 2 whole loaves instead of 1.40 loaves. (This analogy actually held up pretty well)
