Hi all,

Has anyone used recipes in NAV? I have a customer that has a set recipe card(so list of ingredients in Batch Qty sizes), I am looking for the best way to handle this in NAV?

Hi, no sorry, I was wondering if there was a different way to use a recipe in a BOM by using %'s or similar

I've been wondering how you flow substitution ingredients through a BOM.

Say your BOM has 50 lb bags of sugar called for, but you have some 5 lb bags from a different supplier, with a different SKU, that you want to use up. Without totally re-doing the BOM, how do you consume the 5 lb bags instead of the 50 lb ones and have the end cost reflect the change?

Happens often.

Is there a feature like "ALTERNATIVE sku" as found in Great Plains?

Hi Raokman

You can look at the Item Variant functionality in Navision.

You can indeed create production BOMs for that purpose. You can use BOM exploding function and there manually change the items for substitutions. Check Item Substitution functionality. Also, refer here: msdn.microsoft.com/.../hh173384(v=nav.90).aspx

The problem would be when you would need to cut meat body into meat pieces - we had some customers who requested "reversed" BOM, which would have one ingredient and many ready products.

Item variants seems to assume the same item, just in different colors, not truly substitutes, like distilled water for tap water (at a much higher cost) or extra virgin olive oil for more generic oil (again, at a much higher costs). These are substitutes but not really variants.

Item substitutes seems to apply only to sales, not production?

Is there a more thorough explanation, or video, of Exploding a BOM and changing the ingredients? On the fly, by production workers wearing Kevlar gloves?

Thanks
