How to configure Products & BOM for Textile Industry Products considering below scenario ?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

We have below scenario to be mapped in AX 2012 R3,

Our client is purchasing fabric rolls and then after some 3 to 4 stage processing the Finished Good rolls are sold to customers.

The requirement is like, we have to configure the Products & Bills of materials in such a way so the inventory as well as material requirement planning is calculated correct.

The raw materials are procured in Roll forms (meters) and the lenght might vary from vendor to vendor per roll. Means RMRoll 1- 100 mtr, RMRoll 2=150 mtr, RMRoll 3 = 300 mtr etc. But the actual raw material will remain same (only length is varying roll to roll).

Now if we have a Finished good requirement of FGRoll with length of 75 mtr then RMRoll 1 (100 mtr) should be used as a Raw material out of all different length roll available. The balance 25 mtr can be returned to stock during Production order picking list posting.

And if I have a Finished good requirement of FGRoll with Lenght of 350 mtr then we can not use any roll because out of all RMRolls not a single roll is having full length although the total RMRoll inventory becomes as 550 mtr (100+150+300). In master planning also it should create planned purchase order of 350 mtr.

The condition is simple: If i have requirement of FG Roll of X mtr & the Raw material is available in stock equal to or greater than X mtr then I will use that RMRoll otherwise the stock should not be considered as free stock for that particular order and the new Purchase order needs to be placed.

One more thing is that we have to track which RMRoll is used against which FGRoll as well.

Looking for help to suggest the solution to map the requirement in AX 2012 R3?

    Dear Nitin,

    There may be other details like how to you handle resources, As you have multiple options in AX for these kind of process manufacturing Most recommended for textile industries will be BOM or formula. Regardless different characteristics of FG.

    Thanks

    There are 3 to 4 production stages (like weaving,beaming,coating etc) to convert Raw materials to Finished Good rolls. But the concern is how to configure Items and Finished Goods Items.

    I can achieve by creating all applicable lengths Raw materials item codes and applicable Finished Goods Roll Item codes and so on defining Bill of materials for each and every FG-RM length relation. Also in this case we have to create plenty of Raw material codes with applicable length raw materials & Finished Goods item codes in AX,correct!!

    But that is very time consuming and also increase administration cost.

    If we define a single item number for raw material roll with UOM as meter with tracking dimension as serial number & single item number for Finished good roll with UOM s meter.

    In that case i can assign serial numbers with different meter product receipt,so my inventory will be classified based on meter. Now in Production order of Finished goods I can ask user to select the applicable raw material roll. which solve the purpose.

    But the issue is in master planning where if i have 3 different rolls say 10 meter,20,meter & 30 meters (my total inventory is=60 meters). Now i have a finished goods order is of 35 meter roll, then MRP will not generate planned purchase order because it will consider stock of 60 meter, but i can not use any raw material rolls because i want full length roll of 35 meter, which is not available in stock.

    Is there any standard functionality available in AX where we can define multiple applicable raw materials in BOM with certain conditions?

    Otherwise we will have to customize master planning logic, which is not that easy!!
