Open Shop Order Allocations

["Bailey, Dick" <Dick_Bailey@xxxxxxxx>]

        Our bill of material structure is complex enough that we often end up
with two or more records for the same part number in the FMA file for a single
shop order.

        Back-flush programs post issues against the first record for each part
number, causing some records to be over-issued and some under-issued. The
under-issued records show up on the INV300 screens as unsatisfied allocations,
and appear in the total of manufacturing allocations.  The over-issued
allocations are ignored in both cases.

        Various alternative fixes are being considered, including the initial
summarizing of FMA records.  Anyone have experience that could help us determine
a fix?

        We are on BPCS 6.1.
