Hi - Has anyone found a work around when using Outsource manufacturing getting the assembly item name/description to show up on the bill?  Currently, only the charge item shows up, however my client wants the assembly name to show up for their bills.

Do you mean when printing or just getting it on the vendor bill form? I have seen a work around with unique charge items per assembly but that is obviously not for everyone and depends on the BOM structure etc. but it is by far the easiest way - outside of that you need to pull it from the related POs

so charge items would include assembly part no in its name essentially, but post to same expense account ofc

both eventually, but right now they want it to show up on the form.

and Yea I suggested that as well. they produce new items very quickly and its not feasible. :confused: I tired some WF/Scripting but none have worked so far.

Yes it does have its downsides, on the other hand it lends itself well to automation as part of item creation - but outside of this you do need a script or similar I'm afraid

Further costing can be more granular, but yea :slightly_smiling_face:

Thank you <@U04SCK59823> I appreciate your insight! :slightly_smiling_face:
