How does Refilling/Repacking works in D365 Manufacturing

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 105

Dear All,

I have the following scenario:

My client is into Juice Manufacturing. I have 5L Juice produced and lying in stock. Due to lack of sale, I have to unpack this 5L juice into 300 ML & 200 ML bottles 

  • Each FG is  measured in PCs such as 5L, 500ML, 330ML,  200ML bottles. Each bottle is a sperate SKU.
  • Bulk Juice production is an intermediate product. Meaning, from Raw Fruit, it produces bulk Juice (Sub Formula) and fills into multi-size bottled (Main Formula).
  • When I refill/repack into 330ML, 200ML (It could be any based on the demand in the shop floor), I should do the following:
  • Unpack the 5L into a loose/Bulk Juice (The Cost of 5L Bottle & 5L Juice would have loaded onto this product and should be reallocated back). This bottle will be scrapped and the associated cost should be posted to a scrap account. So, cost of bulk juice should be remain on the intermediate product.
  • Now, repacking/refilling of this 5L Bulk Juice - This can go into 330ML of 10 bottles and remaining into 200ML of 5 bottles (This is depends on the requirement).
  • Cost of 330 ML Bottle should have the cost of juice+ 330ML Bottle
  • Cost of 200 ML Bottle should have the cost of juice+ 200ML Bottle

Net Effect of this scenario:

  • Cost of 5L Bottle - Scrap Account (Please note that, the Cost of this 5L bottle should also deduct from Bulk juice cost)
  • Production Cost of 330ML (Equivalent Juice + 330ML Bottle Cost)
  • Production Cost of 200ML (Equivalent Juice + 200ML Bottle Cost)  

I cannot use a standard formula for this as 5L Bulk juice goes into multiple products. Other option would be to make 3 different steps:

  1. Reverse the 5L production into a bulk juice. Still I have a challenge to allocate scrap account. I do not want user to enter the cost manually.
  2. Create a new Batch order for 330 ML production and report the production.
  3. Create a new Batch order for 200 ML production and report the production.

Is there a better way to handle this?

    Hello Anthony,

    Are you using bulk orders and packing orders?

    Hello Dolores,

    Thanks for reverting.. I hope you are referring to the Bulk item conversion and related orders, right? I am aware of this. Will that be of any help on this requirement? Please share some thoughts if you have any idea in mind... Thanks...

    Hi Anthony,

    What if you created two formulas for say 500ml bottle.  The first formula (active and approved) would be the current formula, and the 2nd (approved but not active) would have as an ingredient the 5L bottle of juice and the empty 500ml bottle (so replacing the juice in the original formula with the 5L bottle of juice) .  You could set the empty 5L bottle as a co-product or by-product.  If this was a co-product, you could test whether reporting as finished an error quantity would post to a scrap account. or a by-product might let you account for cost in another way.

    So when you wanted to repackage say a 5L to 10 500ml, you would create a batch order for a quantity of 10 of the 500ml juice item and choose the 2nd formula, consuming a 5L bottle of juice and 10 500ml empty bottles ,and reporting as finished 10 500ml bottles of juice and an error quantity of 1 5L bottle.

    Kind regards

    Dolores
