How to use the Gen. Prod. Posting Group of the items on the BOM when making a sales order?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Esteban Navarro 237

Hello everyone, 

We sell food combos and each one is made with the Assembly functionality. Each combo has a BOM made of raw materials. Each time we make a sales order the cost of the assembly goes to the Gen. Prod. Posting Group of the food combo and not to the one of each raw material. 

i.e 

We sell an item called "Tomato soup combo" composed by tomatoes, vinegar, salt an a soda. The  "Tomato soup combo" has a Gen. Prod. Posting Group called "Finished goods", the tomatos have a gorup called "Vegetables", vinegar and salt "Groceries" and the soda "Beverages" 

Each time I sell an indivual tomato the accounts affected are the ones in the "Vegetables" Gen. Prod. Posting Group, the same goes for the vinegar, salt and soda. But when I sell the  "Tomato soup combo" the accounts affected are the ones on the Tomato Food combo Gen. Prod. Posting Group.  

Is there a way to make Business Central to affect the individual accounts configured on each item of the BOM?

Thanks for the help.

    What's the point of replying to a post from 3 years ago that was already resolved? And most probably replying using AI?

    In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, you can configure the system to affect individual accounts for each item in the Bill of Materials (BOM) when selling a food combo. This involves setting up the system to recognize the individual components of the combo and post the costs accordingly.
    • Ensure that each item (e.g., tomatoes, vinegar, salt, soda) has its own General Product Posting Group configured correctly. This ensures that when these items are sold individually, the system posts the costs to the appropriate accounts based on their posting groups.
    • Review the Bill of Materials for the food combo (e.g., "Tomato soup combo, Chick"). Make sure that each component item is listed accurately with the correct quantities. Also, verify that each component item has its own General Product Posting Group assigned.
    • Check the costing method used for the items and the assembly (food combo). Ensure that the costing method is set up to calculate costs accurately for both individual items and assembled products.
    • Navigate to the Posting Setup page in Business Central. Here, you can configure how costs are posted for sales orders. Check the settings related to the posting of assembled items and ensure that they align with your requirements.

    Seems like the assembly BOM acts as a combo maker for sales. Maybe just explode the BOM so you get the sales recorded at each level.
