How to Build One Job to Inventory in EDGEBIC

To build one job to inventory in EDGEBIC by User Solutions, open the manufacturing order, set its Build to Inventory field to true, and save. This overrides the product's default build policy for that single order, so when the job is marked complete it posts a finished-goods receipt that raises on-hand stock. Every other order for the same product keeps following the product's own build method. The override is the tool for the one job that should go to stock even though the product is normally made to a customer order.

This is a per-job task. To change the default for the whole product instead, see how to switch a product between make to stock and make to order. The full recipe set is on the EDGEBIC how-to hub.

Before You Start

• The manufacturing order exists. The override is a field on one order.
• The product is stocked, so a receipt can post to a running balance. A non-inventory item cannot hold stock.
• A clear reason for the override, since this job will differ from the product's normal behavior.

Step by Step

1. Open the Orders tab in Drive Schedule.
2. Select the job and click Edit to open the order dialog.
3. Find Build to Inventory in the inventory planning area of the dialog.
4. Set it to true (check the box or select the build-to-inventory option).
5. Click Save.

What Changes When You Save

The order now carries a build-to-inventory intent that overrides the product policy. In the Orders grid the row shows a Stock badge, and on the inventory calendar the job appears as a scheduled receipt on its completion date. No stock moves yet. When you mark the manufacturing order complete, EDGEBIC posts a finished-goods receipt to the ledger and the on-hand balance for the item rises by the completed quantity.

Because the override lives on one order, the product's default is untouched. A null override means inherit the product policy, true forces build-to-inventory, and false forces make-to-order even on a make-to-stock product, so the field cuts both ways for the odd exception.

How to Check It Worked

Look at the Orders grid: the job should show the Stock badge. Open the inventory calendar for the product and confirm the job appears as a scheduled receipt on its finish date. Then mark the order complete and check the item's ledger, where a receipt entry should appear and the on-hand balance should rise. If the balance did not move, the job is probably not marked complete yet, since the receipt posts at completion.

Common Mistakes

• Expecting stock at scheduling time. The receipt posts when the order is completed, not when it is scheduled.
• Overriding a non-inventory product. If the item is not stocked, there is no balance to receive into. See how to mark a product as non-inventory.
• Confusing it with the product default. Changing one order does not change the product policy, and changing the product policy does not touch existing per-job overrides.
• Forgetting the flag cuts both ways. Setting it to false forces make-to-order even on a make-to-stock product.

Next Steps

To let a make-to-stock job draw from existing stock instead of building fresh, read how to let a job consume from stock. To confirm the posting afterward, use how to audit the inventory ledger for a part. The platform overview is at EDGEBIC, and more recipes are in the EDGEBIC how-to hub.
