Work Orders

I have a question on work orders.
I am setting up webERP for a machine shop. I would like to be able to attach a machine to a work order item.

For example:
Lets say I have a 1.75" Diameter x 5" long shaft that is machined from a piece of 2" bar stock.
I have a BOM set up that that uses 5.25" of 2" barstock.
I make a work order to make this shaft. I would like to be able to include for each item which machine this part is going to be made on. That way I can see what machines have what jobs.
It does not seem that webERP has this option (maybe I am missing something). I am thinking of just adding it to the code. I am not a php expert but am learining. I made a table that is basically a copy of the work centers table. I called this table machine center. I also added a column in the woitems table that references which machine is used on this item. I then modified the WorkOrdersEntry.php to add the machine to the work order items next to the serial number box.

Am I on the correct path here? Has this been done or not done for a reason?

Thanks
Brian

You could use the new labour code in BOM functionality.

Create a labour part for each machine called MACHINE, unit USE. Set no standard cost.

Then add to the BOM.

Personally, I'm using this method to add machine time ($/hr) costs to each BOM. As well as labour/operator costs.
