RE: Co-Products

Have you tried Process Groups? Do you have them in the Style Product. We are
a Food manufacturing company. We are using 3.5.2b.

We have tried them with some success in processing oranges to make
marmalade. The input is an orange and from that we obtain two separate
intermediate products: the pulp and the peel. Process groups also allow you
to vary the ratio of outputs per booking.

There are some issues that we have had with Process Groups - costing and
route maintenance is a little tricky - but they may be worth investigating.

Hope this of interest

                I saw no responses to this post I made.  Can I safely assume
that no one
                else has this need or am I just out in left field.

                We are realizing a need to identify co products made in a
route.  For
                example we make curtains.  We trim 5" of fabric off of a
bolt of material
                and make a curtain with the rest.  But the 5" is used to
make a tie-back.
                The curtain is the finished good and where the route is
attached but the
                tie-back is also sold.  It's route calls for 5" material.
We never get any
                5" material in to our system since out of the curtain route
the 5" is
                trimmed off as a step in the process but it needs to create
a receipt of the
                5" material.

                Using Style V3.5 service pack B.
