We have a BOM that includes a BOM line item with a negative quantity (i.e the item is gained as a result of production).
A works order is created for the BOM item. Upon Update> Report as finished, 2 picking list journals are posted, the first includes all of the BOM line items, including the item with negative quantity. The second has just the item with the negative quantity. This creates 2 Received transactions of this BOM Line item, when we are only expecting 1.
The Automatic BOM consumption is currently set to Flushing principle, changing the Automatic BOM consumption to Never for this works order (Update > Report as finish> General tab), produces the desired result with 1 picking list journal posted for all of the BOM lines. Is there other implications of changing this parameter which should be considered further, or is there another alternative to handle this situation? AX 4
