Hello -
We manufacture two different product lines in the same location. We have an inventory item (a pallet) that is currently uses as a component on a BOM for Product Line A, so our transactions for this item are received into and posted against that product dimension.
We would now like to occasionally sell the same pallet on a sales order for Product Line B. Since most usage will continue to be for Product Line A, we would prefer not to create a separate item solely for Product Line B.
Is there a recommended way in Business Central to handle this scenario while ensuring inventory value and costs are assigned to the correct product dimension?
What we've tried:
1. Item Reclassification Journal
We reclassified inventory from Product Line A to Product Line B
- The inventory Account entries behaved as expected.
- However, the Inventory Adjmt Account was debited for the source product dimension and credited for the destination product dimension.
- As a result, the cost impact still appears to remain with the original product line, even when the item is sold under the destination product dimension.
2. Transfer Order
We considered using a transfer order, but my understanding is that the transfer order is intended for inventory movement between locations. Both product lines exist within the same location.
Thank you for any guidance!
