Hi,
My expertise is in MM and I could use some help being steered in the right direction of PP when it comes to mapping system to this process:
1) Raw material is procured and brought into inventory
2) It goes through a standard process of several stages: for example, quality inspection, cataloging, and photography
3) At the end of this process, material gets scrapped. It never goes through manufacturing.
The exact same process stages are applied to hundreds of materials each year (regardless of material). I’d like to get reporting out of system to know when material has completed process A, process B, process C, etc. (An end-user would transact in system to indicate his completion of process)
And I’d like to collect costs on entire process. For example, it’s $100 for process A, $100 for process B, and $100 for process C. A material that goes through entire process collects $300 of cost. But if material gets scrapped after only first process, it’s $100 of cost.
While procurement and inventory is focused on 'raw material', I'm open to managing a finished good and BOM....or forgetting raw material altogether and just managing at FG level (since FG is one-to-one with RM)
Can somebody suggest the transaction flow for above process?
Thanks, Vlad
