And it most likely won't work. If we have a multiple level BOM situation, and I do an inventory adjustment of the lower level component to avoid that rounding issue, the build worked. But when I reversed that inventory adjustment afterwards, QB would detect that and would redo the "can build" calculation. The same error would occur, and the program would turn the builds I issued back into "pending" builds. Which had cascading problems. Also, you have an audit trail that is really messy with all these fractional adds and deletes, which is a problem for some people. I've sent this on to Intuit so maybe it will get fixed, but I'm not holding my breath... Mary, we tried a couple of things but I don’t like the results. And it most likely won’t work.

I’ve sent this on to Intuit so maybe it will get fixed, but I’m not holding my breath…

We ran into problems with too many places after the decimal point, which you were able to fix by rounding the quantities. I don't think we will run into this one because we always have excess on hand. However, we also cut tubing, but are not that precise. I will leave notes with them that they need a little extra in inventory for these build. I think another work around would be to add "one unit" to inventory on these builds and then reverse it after the build....
