  Anyone Done AX in Poultry Processing? Reply Contact Greetings from Malaysia, Truly Asia.  My organization has just purchased Dynamics AX after evaluating other ERP packages.  One of the business of this organization is integrated poultry processing from farm to market.  We have breeder farm, hatchery, broiler farms and processing plant where chicken are processed into various products and value-added food products. I'm at lost as to how to implement MRP and Production Planning.  Specifically, BOM design.  Products are chicken parts such as whole leg, wing, ***, boneless leg, boneless and skinless leg, boneless ***, etc.  Is anyone familiar with designing BOM in this area? Regards,  Abel

  Re: Anyone Done AX in Poultry Processing? Reply Contact Hi Abel, Did you purchase the Process Industry solution where you purchased AX? This industry solution was designed specifically to support process manufacturing where a chicken is slaughtered into each of the chicken parts: wings, legs, boneless breasts...etc. are set up as Co-products that are produced from the formula (a reverse BOM.) http://www.microsoft.com/dynamics/ax/product/processindustries.mspx If you need more info, let me know. -John John Van Metre john.vanmetre@fullscope.com

  Re: Anyone Done AX in Poultry Processing? Reply Contact Hello Abel Ahing, If you want to view how Ax process vertical works, I can give you a demo. I guess probably you are facing the Inverted BOM requirement in your kind of industry. You should have problem costing your outputs. Planning could be a problem as well, since poultry processing tends to have lots of by and co products, and the combination of by or co products may differ from time to time, depending on the different alternate "BOM" (how the chicken is cut up) that you use. I'm from Malaysia too by the way.
