Hamish,
This will be dependent on two key areas.
First, do you ever sell/store the WIP item from/in your inventory? If so, you need to break the Production Order into multiple Items so they can be produced into Inventory.
Second, if you do not sell/store the WIP Item, do you need the Transfer Order to manage the shipment of the WIP Item between the Locations, or can it be built into your Routing (no standard ship/receive process)? Again, if yes, you need to break the Prod. Order into multiple Items.
If no, you can set Bin Mandatory on the Locations (you do NOT need anything more advanced than Bins for what was described), which will allow you to set “Components at Location” on the Work Centers. This will ensure linked (Routing Link Code) material is assigned the right Location based on the Work Center of the Operation.
Hopefully this makes sense and you’re able to start triggering demand in the right Locations (make sure you have Stockkeeping Units setup). I would strongly encourage you to reach out to your partner who should be able to help with the setup and process training.
