Hi everybody,
I was looking for someone that had already tangled this challenge :-) in Dynamics GP... We're using the manufacturing module in GP and the users are in need for a better report than the default multi-level BOM Text report. I've searched accrossed the net several forums and places, and aside from one blog where I could get the code for a multi-level Inventory BOM (thanks to Mariano Gomez), I couldn't not locate much infos. I tried several options in SQL, but the trick is to deal with an undefined amount of levels (could go from 1-n, in our case up to 6 levels deep).
Another reason why the default BOM Text report of GP is useles, is because of the way it reports out the item list. They are sorted in alphabetic order and not respecting the sequence order they were entered in GP. Some of our BOM could be as large as 33 pages and take quite a long time to print out (at least 2-3 minutes before the first page shows up and another 2-3 minutes until the last page is processed).
So anybody is welcome that could provide me with at least a usable SQL scripts that manages properly the multi-levels. I can workout the integration in either Excel, SSRS or Crystal myself. Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
