Assembly Setting

PanatrackerGP has multiple options available to setup for supporting creating the GP Assembly Transactions.

  • Record the finished good Assembly item and ‘backflush’ the components based on the Assembly Bill of Material setup in GP.
  • Record the finished good Assembly item and select the components based on the Assembly Bill of Material setup in GP.
  • Record the finished good Assembly item and backflush or select the components based on the Panatracker Assembly Work Order.
