Reviewing the Feature Cost Percentage for Process Items

Access the Co/By Product Revision form.

Co By (co-products/by-products/intermediate)

Enter a code that distinguishes standard components or ingredients from co-products, by-products, and intermediates. Co-products are concurrent end items as the result of a process. By-products are items that can be produced at any step of a process, but are not planned. Intermediate products are items that are defined as a result of a step but are automatically consumed in the next step. Generally, intermediate items are nonstock items and are only defined steps with a pay-point for reporting purposes. Standard components (discrete manufacturing) or ingredients (process Manufacturing) are consumed during the production process. Values are:

Blank: Standard components or ingredients.

C: Co-products.

B: By-products.

I: Intermediate products.

Co/By Product

Enter the item number of the co-product or by-product in the process.

Output Quantity

Enter the quantity of finished units that you expect the bill of material or routing to produce. This field enables you to specify varying quantities of components based on the amount of finished goods produced. For example, 1 ounce of solvent is required per unit up to 100 units of finished product. However, if you produce 200 units of finished product, 2 ounces of solvent are required per finished unit. In this example, you would set up batch quantities for 100 and 200 units of finished product specifying the proper amount of solvent per unit.

UM (unit of measure)

Enter a value from the Unit of Measure UDC table (00/UM) that indicates the quantity in which to express an inventory item, for example, CS (case) or BX (box).
