Dick,

I believe that is good advice.  I've seen it not work "right" in MRP
netting, and also backflushing.  But it seems correct in BOM inquiry, cost
roll-up, and on shop orders.  So it depends on your business requirements --
how are you intending to use it?

By-products and co-products are also an option, and these are better
supported.
