Production Journal Line Issue

Posted on by Niki 439
Hi Experts,
 
I have finished good which contains BOM. My BOM contains both raw materials and a semi finished good ( My semi finished good also contains a BOM). So i have included that semi finished good as a item in the BOM. My question is After i refresh the released production order, the production order line update for my finished good.
 
But my requirement is when i am refreshing production order i need to view two lined for my finished good and my semi finished good as two separate line in released production order. So then I can view and post My SFG & FG separately in one production order .

    Hi,
     
    In standard Business Central, you can have SFG and FG in the same Released Production Order, but the SFG will appear as an indented line under the FG, not as a separate top-level line.

    To achieve this:
    > If you want SFG as a separate production order (not indented), you need to set the SFG item to Replenishment System = Prod. Order and Reordering Policy = Make-to-Order.
    > Then, when you refresh the production order, BC will create a linked child production order for the SFG instead of a line inside the FG’s order.
    > So, to keep both in the same order, just keep your current setup (SFG as a BOM item) and post output at the line level as required.
    > When your FG’s BOM contains an SFG as a component, refreshing the Production Order creates one Production Order with multiple production order lines, FG as the main line, and SFG as a lower-level line (indented).
    > You can post output for SFG first, then later post output for FG in the same RPO. This lets you report production step-by-step without creating separate production orders.
     
     
    Thanks

    Hi
     

    • Standard BC = separate production orders for FG and SFG (linked via planning).

    • Phantom BOM = flatten structure (no separate posting).

    • To post both FG & SFG separately in one production order, you’d need customization — not possible with standard features.

    Thanks

    This is a standard feature of Business Central, assuming you get the setup correct.
     
    To have a Production Order with an indented list of the Finished Good and lines for Sub-Assemblies below, BOTH the Finished Good AND the Sub-Assemblies need Replenishment System = Prod. Order AND Manufacturing Policy = Make-to-Order.
     
    If the Manufacturing Policy is "Make-to-Stock" on either of the Finished Good OR the Sub-Assembly the system will NOT nest the production onto a single Production Order.
     
    No customization is required.
     
    P.S. This answer did NOT use any AI assistance.
