I would like to know how we can manage production losses in Odoo v11. I found one thread about this, but it was back in 2016 in v8, so I'm hoping there is a better/easier solution than the one given there.
We manufacture spices and obviously part of it is lost during process. When we create an MO of 100 kg, we might end up with only 99.5 kg and a loss of 0.5%.
For example:
50kg input Cinnamon Raw Mat A + 50kg input Cinnamon Raw Mat B results in 99.5kg Cinnamon ground.
This should subtract 50kg from Cinnamon Raw mat A, 50kg from Cinnamon Raw mat B, and add 99,5kg to Cinnamon ground. The loss% we want to save per product, and per work station.
How can we manage this in Odoo?
Scrapping does not work for us, because it will ADD the scrapped raw mat to the already used raw mat.
The inventory movement should be:
- 50kg cinnamon A
- 50kg cinnamon B
+99.5kg cinnamon powder
And it should be saved (and possible to analyse per item, work order, etc.) that we have 0.5kg/0.5% loss in this specific work order.
But okay, we'll probably need a third party app or customise ourselves to realise this.
Hi Michiel,
If you scrap the excess quantity, above the predicted for your MO, you should get the results you want.
Your completed MO will have final units, and your scrap will reflect the additional materials "lost", during production.
