Bill of materials and non inventory items

We have a vendor that does welding for us and we pay him by unit, i.e 20 welds.

1- I have created weld under Miscellaneous items with allow in PO and BOM

2- When I try to create a PO for the vendor, it does not allow me to enter quantity.

3- In bill of material however, I can enter quantity when I assemble my finished good which has raw material plus weld charge.

What am I doing wrong? Is it correct to have weld charge as a Misc. Item to begin with?

Any help with this is appreciated.

    One way to handle this would be to setup a Misc. Item for use with Purchase Order which would allow you to use quantities and then use the Misc. Charge for use in Bill of Material. Use the same GL codes so that the posting is the same for each. Note that with each you are just posting dollars and not real quantities.
