How to see the consumption of primary products

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hi all :)

Thanks for everyone who will read this message, and take time to answer me.

Sorry for my english, i am a french native speaker, so i will do my best.

I am new on Microsoft Axapta 2009, and i have a work to do.

I easily did a summary month per month of products we sold ( we are manufacturing and selling chocolates). Now, i would know how much quantity of primary ressources we use each month, in order to forecast the cost for 2019 in term of primary ressources and labour hours.

One problem is that when we order production, it's always like by 2 000 pieces, or 200kilograms, or stuff like that. Furthermore, for a final product, we have some "intermediary" products. You know, for a macaron, you need some coques, ganaches, etc.

So for one product, we have several lines, and we have breakdown to the base and then go up every step. You can easily understand that for 800 final products, and so a lot of intermediary products, it will take eternity.

So i would know if there is any possibility to use a function of the program to know the consumption. And in the best case, to know the consumption for 1 piece of a product.

I don't know if i am clear and understable, if anything is not clear, don't hesitate to tell me.

Thanks for your help :)

    Hi,

    You can use the 'production report' for this kind of analysis.

    This report can be found under the following path:

    Production/Reports/Transactions/Production report.

    Would be great if you could have a look at it and provide us soem feedback whether it helped answering your questions.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Thank you for your quick answer.

    I have tried your suggestion, and i find another problems. The production team don't use the production programm since 2009 !!! (Lol?). So nothing is write in the software. They are planning production "manually" and that's it, then we "sold" our products to our shops. That's how i can manage to see how much we sold in 2018. ( without taking the amount of loss in theses shops btw..)

    So i see 4 solutions :

    -1) I can't see my consumption during 2018

    -2) I have to check manually all recipes, and do my calcul with the amount of final products we sold in 2018.

    -3) There is a way to see the consumption based on the sells.

    -4) I have to work on the Buying we did last year, with the risk that was not registered in AX....

    Thank you for your time, and i am also working on an update of ERP and CRM, because it look AX 2009 is out of date.
