RE: Production order- Posting multiple item ledger entires creating extra demand on components needing to be flushed out
hi
Here are some suggestions on how to approach this:
Set up a separate item for scrap: It's common practice to set up a separate item in NAV for scrap, so that it can be properly accounted for in production orders. This way, when you post the production order, you can post the scrap to the separate item and adjust inventory accordingly.
Use the "Scrap Quantity" field: In the Production Order line, there is a "Scrap Quantity" field where you can enter the amount of scrap expected for each production order line. This will help ensure that the system correctly accounts for the scrap quantity and adjusts inventory accordingly.
Use the "Output Journal": It sounds like you are already using the Output Journal to post the scrap, but perhaps there is some confusion around the proper way to do so. When posting the scrap in the Output Journal, you should select the scrap item, enter the quantity scrapped, and select the appropriate production order line. This will ensure that the scrap is properly accounted for and inventory is adjusted accordingly.
Review your BOM: It's possible that there is an error in your BOM (Bill of Materials) that is causing the extra consumption of components. Double-check the BOM to ensure that it accurately reflects the required components for the production order.
Review your Routing: Similarly, there may be an issue with the Routing that is causing the extra consumption of components. Review the Routing to ensure that it accurately reflects the production process and required components.
Seek help from a Dynamics NAV expert: If the above suggestions do not resolve the issue, it may be beneficial to seek the help of a Dynamics NAV expert to review your system setup and provide recommendations on how to properly account for scrap in production orders.
