manufacturing bom byproduct

Karsten Eberding

I am using the mrp_byproduct feature in V9 manufacturing (Bills of materials may produce residual products (A + B --> C + D)). This creates additional products during manufacturing. The byproducts should be delivered together with the main product, but showing as a separate line item in the delivery note.

When adding byproducts to the sales order, they always create procurement exceptions. If I define them as manufacturing product, the exception is a missing BOM. But there is no separate BOM. Without the manufacturing selection, the exception is a missing procurement rule.

How can this be solved?

To solve this issue, you need to create a separate BOM for the byproduct and define a procurement rule for it. Here are the steps to follow:

Create a new BOM for the byproduct: Go to the Manufacturing app, open the product that is produced as a byproduct, and create a new BOM for it. In the BOM, add the raw materials required to produce the byproduct and save it.

Define a procurement rule for the byproduct: Go to the Warehouse app, open the product that is produced as a byproduct, and go to the "Procurements" tab. Click on "Create" to create a new procurement rule for the byproduct. In the procurement rule, select the source location, the destination location, and the BOM you created in step 1.

Add the byproduct to the sales order: Go to the Sales app, create a new sales order, and add the main product and the byproduct to the order. When you add the byproduct, make sure you select the newly created procurement rule in the "Procurement" field.

Confirm the sales order: Once you have added the products to the sales order, confirm the order. This will create a procurement order for the byproduct and the main product.

Receive the products and create a delivery note: When you receive the products, go to the Warehouse app and process the procurement orders for both the main product and the byproduct. Once the products are ready for delivery, create a delivery note. The delivery note should show the main product and the byproduct as separate line items.

By following these steps, you should be able to create and deliver the byproduct as a separate line item in the delivery note.

Hi,

By product(D) in your case in produced by your main product(C), so it's not needed to make D as manufacturable, your should configure it as Make to Stock(route Buy), that means it would delivery it from your stock only, so apparently when you produce C, you would have D in stock and then you can deliver to customer. Procurement goes into exception if you don't specify Vendor on the Make to order product, and Vendor+Reorder Rule for make to stock product.
