Introduction
Within food manufacturing companies, it is common practice that during the production of an item, other products are also manufactured. In some cases, these other outputs are expected upfront as a co-product, but in some cases, it is more registered as an unexpected by-product. It is essential that these companies can register co and by-products and value these against the correct inventory rate. The production quantity depends on the machine and the amount of the By-Product is dependent on the Base Unit of Measure of the main item.
Key Usage Scenario’s
- Multi-Product Manufacturing.
- Waste and Sustainability Tracking.
- Managing Production Quantities of Co/By-Products.
- Standard Cost Allocation for Compliance.
- Entering negative Production Order Material lines is not supported in Co/By-product management
- Co/By products are not part of production planning.
- One Co-Product can only be attached to one main item. This means that it’s not possible to have a Co-Product attached to an entire family.
