Semi-Finished Products Tracking

A semi-finished product is an item that is counted like any other product and can be used to produce another product or can be sold itself.

Semi-finished products can be manufactured using the following methods:

  • Create a Production Order just to produce semi-finished product independently using the BOM for such semi-finished product,
  • Or add the BOM for semi-finished products to the Production Order along with the BOM for finished items (that use this semi-finished product as raw material) and produce them together.

If there is no need to track the movement of semi-finished products, then do not create separate Bills of Materials for each semi-finished product.

 

So, in case you need to produce semi-finished items separately for the purpose to count them in the stock or sell them, do the following:

  1. Create a separate Routing for production process of each semi-finished product.
  2. Create a product card for each semi-finished product.
  3. Create a Bill of Materials for each semi-finished product. Specify the raw materials used and associated operations costs to produce only that semi-finished product.
  4. Add semi-finished products to the Bills of Materials of finished products, to the Raw Materials tab.
