Consumables

Hi, we're using Ax 2012 R3.

We've got in our BOM's of our products some items which need to be included in the price calculation, but which do not need to be "booked off" when the product is made. This is for example a sticker, a piece of paper, ... small items that don't matter and of which we don't want to keep track.

These items have a Coverage group which has Coverage code "Manual" - so far so good.

These items also have a check box marked "Consumables". See screen shot below...

Since I don't find any documentation on this, I guess this is a customisation in our version of Ax?

Suppose we don't have this customisation - how would you have to configure this functionality? An item that needs to be included for cost calculation, and for completeness, in the BOM of a product, but when production of this product is completed, the item does not need to be booked.

That is, when reporting the production as finished and posting the Picking journals, these items have 0 consumption (or allow 0 consumption).

Many thanks!!

    Yes that is a customisation.

    You could consider uplifting the cost through the costing sheet, adding it as a cost that way.

    The issue you have is you want it in the cost calculation, and therefore it has a quantity, but you dont want to book it. You could set the item to auto-flush and therefore the system consumes the standard quantity is another example.

    You may also want to review this from Microsoft:

    Thanks for your clarification.

    I guess you mean checking this check-box as auto-flush. "Auto-report as finished".

    No I mean the flushing principle one to the right, and then when you start production you have the picking list parameter relating to how it is consumed, but the one on the BOM is to overwrite the one on the item card, and that one is only referenced depending upon the flushing principle setting when processing production start and RAF.
