I’m having some difficulty with the Production Planning Tool. I can’t seem to get the “Create material requests” or the “Download Materials Required” to actually populate anything other than two sub-assemblies on the BOM. If I create a new BOM without the sub-assemblies, I get nothing.
I’m wondering what I’m missing in order to get this to work properly. I’m sure it’s something obvious, I just can’t seem to find it.
I’ve tried with and without that checkbox ticked. Same results, only the sub-assembly items show.
The console shows no errors.
OK, I was finally able to solve this one after poking around in the database.
Turns out, since I had imported the items into the database, the default_material_request_type was not set on my items. Once I set the the type to be “Purchase” for the items in my BOM, the report generated fine.
Hope this helps someone in the future.
