QuickBooks Bug: Building Fractional Assemblies

We spent several days working with one customer who could not get multiple level assemblies to build correctly with CCRQBOM. A requirements report would say that you could build, but when the build was issued the program would say that it couldn’t complete the build and would back everything out. It ends up that there is a bug in QuickBooks itself that is causing the problem.

QuickBooks Shuts Down When Issuing a Build

A user of CCRQBOM contacted us to report a problem when issuing a build transaction, where the build seemed to complete properly in CCRQBOM, but then QuickBooks would want to shut down without the build being recorded in the company file. After examining the file, we found that it was an error in QuickBooks itself.

New Release of CCRQBOM

We have released a new version of CCRQBOM. If you have a registered copy you can download and install this update for not additional charge.

For a quick overview of the new features, see this article.

The new release adds:

• A Where Used report, listing each component and the assemblies that use them.
• Additional fields to the BOM report so you can do further customization to fit your needs.
• The ability to batch print BOM’s, so you can print any or all assemblies at one time.
• Aggregate Requirements – the ability to include multiple assemblies in the requirements report, so you can see the combined requirements and shortages.
• Multiple Builds so you can issue builds for multiple items at one time.
• Listing all assemblies found in open sales orders, with a requirements list based on this information.
• Pending Builds (if you have a 2008 or later edition of QuickBooks).
• Support for selected Canadian, UK and Australian versions of QuickBooks.
• The ability to take balances of intermediate assemblies into account when building.

You can preview the new program by looking at the online documentation, available at our CCRQBOM web site.
