Understanding Co-Products and By-Products
Co-products are produced, usually together, as a result of a process routing. They are normally the main products (end items) that are sold to customers.
A by-product is a material of value that is produced incidental to or as a residual of the production process. By-products can be recycled, sold as-is, or used for other purposes.
Co-products and by-products are costed using the Feature Cost Percent field. Extra costs for co-products and by-products do not use feature cost percentages.
