Some time back our company went away from defining MOMs using subassemblies to a single level of parts for the top level part. We are now getting a question if there is a way to tie together jobs generated for manufactured parts to the job for the top level part, without having to switch back to using subassemblies to do it. I’m not aware of any way to accomplish this. Anyone have an idea?

You don’t give a lot of detail of the scenarios but as a general note if you don’t flag a manufactured sub-assembly part in a BOM as “Pull as Assembly” you will get a separate job for this part with a demand of Make to Job (the job in question being the parent job).  This is useful when you want to maintain sub-assemblies in stock (based on min/max) and also fulfill additional demand or only want to build when there is demand for a higher level part

Is there a way to change the default behavior of adding a non-stock item to a BOM?  Currently it automatically checks the Pull As Assembly check box.  Is there a way to NOT check that box by default?
