Setup

HelpID: 699222019

ETO integrates tightly with Dynamics GP Inventory and Manufacturing. You will need to set up GP Manufacturing before using ETO.

Tools >> Setup >> Manufacturing >> ETO Setup

Update Prorate Qty: when an ME is Accepted it can update the Prorate Setup Quantity field in GP Manufacturing. Depending on Manufacturing Costing Setup, this field is either the Average Quantity on the Item Engineering window, or the Standard Quantity on the Standard Cost Changes window. The quantity used for the update is the largest accepted Estimation Quantity (see the Estimation Quantities window).

If you always create new Item Numbers as part of the estimation process, mark the Update Prorate Qty option.

If you are using ME to create different configurations of existing items, you need to consider the impact of always updating the Prorate Quantity. Both Average Quantity and Standard Quantity are stored in the Item Engineering table in GP Manufacturing (even though the values are entered through different windows). This means there is one setting for this value regardless of the number of Configured BOMs you generate from ME. If each ME has different Estimation Quantities, each time you accept a different ME the Prorate Qty would change to a different value, which will affect how GP Manufacturing performs its cost rollup. In this situation it may be preferable to decide what a real “average quantity” will be for the item, set it manually, and do NOT update it from ME.

Routing Seq. Increment: Defaults to the Routing Sequence Spacing from Manufacturing Setup (Tools >> Setup >> Manufacturing >> System Defaults >> Routings). You can change this to a different value if desired. If the Manufacturing Routing Setup does not have a Sequence Spacing value (i.e. it is zero), ETO will default to 10.

Routing Seq. Pad: Enter the number of leading zeros that should be added to the Routing Sequence Number. For example, “4” will result in “0010”, “0020”, “0030”, etc.
