No, Business Central will NOT automatically record remainders as usable inventory in the production bins without intervention.
Your strategy will lead to issues:
- Inventory Inaccuracy: BC will consume the full quantity from the original bin (as per the Production Order Component Lines). The physical "remainder" left in the production bin will not be reflected in BC's inventory system.
- Costing Problems: The remainder's cost won't be tracked, and future production orders won't correctly reflect using this "free" material.
- Planning Issues: MRP/MPS won't "see" these remainders, potentially ordering more material than needed.
To make this work in BC:
You need a process to return the remainder to inventory (even if to the same bin location) using a Warehouse Adjustment or Consumption Journal (with a negative entry) after the production order is completed. This creates an Item Ledger Entry for the remainder, making it visible and usable for future orders. This isn't automatic.
