Completing a chain of production orders

Is there a way for the system to automatically complete all the move transactions for a series of linked production orders?

Our situation is as follows:

I create a production order for Item A, it requires Items B+C and creates production orders for them. In turn Items B+C require several other item production orders. The end result can be a sizable tree of linked production orders.

 We want to be able to say “we have finished Item A” and have it complete all the sub-assemblies in proper sequence without us having to manually do move transactions on all the sub-assemblies.

@ChrisB - this is not possible today without a customization. It IS on the long-term roadmap but has not been confirmed for a particular release.

This is a weird one but you might be able to use Phantom Materials for this. The idea here is that Item B and C would have their own BOMs, operations and materials. When you add one of these items to a BOM (Item A) and mark it with a Material Type of “Phantom” you are essentially adding its BOM to the job. The “Phantom Routing” field determines which order the Operations are placed. It can be excluded, or set to Before or After the parent Operation.
