Re: BOM, SFC in fermentation mfg

Peter Hi!

You can use API500.

You can set your batch size (in API500) to the daily
"consumption" rate:
For example: If you are going to make 20000 Kgs. of a
product, and the process is going to take 10 days, you
can set it up with a batch size of 2000 Kgs. and a
Batch Interval in Days = 1.

In this way, when you release the shop order through
API500, it will create 10 shop orders automatically, 1
a day, each one for 2000 Kgs.

You can then use SFC400 to auto allocate raw materials
to all the orders released from a specific date to a
specific date.

You will still have to report on each shop order
separately in order to receive the "finished product"
and to actually issue the "raw materials", but the
allocations are going to keep your inventory straight
(the requirements are going to be stager ed over the
duration of the "campaign").

I don't know how many products you produced but if the
quantity is substantial, this could make your life a
lot easier.

Regards,

Ruben.
