How can I update my inventory quantities to account for the items we make out of scrap components?

The Inventory Quick Build feature allows a user to create a build for an item that was manufactured using scrap components that were leftovers from other builds in order to keep inventory quantities up to date. This feature can be accessed either from the Inventory section of the menu in Paradigm or from the Home tab in Production.

To create a quick build, enter the product ID of the product that is being being manufactured, or search for a product by clicking the search button next to the ID field. After searching, double clicking on an item will insert the ID into the Quick Build form. Next enter the number of pieces of the product that is being built. If the product that is being built is an item that is being sold by the linear foot, enter the number of feet of that product rather than the pieces being made.

Components of a Quick Build can be viewed or substituted by clicking the “Edit Build” button. See also: Inventory Component Substitution.

By default, the warehouse that is selected will be the one that is tied to the Paradigm username that is currently in use. If it is wrong, however, select the right warehouse from the dropdown.

Next, enter a note about why the item is being built, and enter your name or select it from the employee dropdown.

Clicking “Finish” will post the build and adjust inventory quantities.
