creating item variants and prod. order estimation & cost

Andreas_Gunawan

Dear all,
I am confusing setting item variants in AX item table, for example :
item A is a finished good
produced in the type like as follows :
1. weight 300 gram / pieces item A
2. weight 250 gram / pieces item A
3. vol. 120 ml / pieces item A
4. vol. 250 ml / peices item A

so, the item A will be produced in many type of variants but contains the same BOM/ingredients.
How to set the items in the item table ? do I have to create item A-1, item A-2, item A-3 and item A-4 ?
How the production order created because the routing will be batch flow shop and the finishing machines will be splitted after mixing operation finished ?

I really appreciate your answer so much. tks in advance

Hi,
I assume all the 4 cases using exactly the same BOM line item?
What are the things that determine if Finished Good A needs for example, version 1 instead of version 4? Is it decided by customer or what?
Is there any unit conversion between gram and ml?
Can u use BOM version?
Do you use master planning? What is the requirements of item A looks like?

1. Yes, u r right
2. It is decided by customer request and also packing material size spec.
3. Will the BOM version be helpful for me ? Is it really accommodate to my problem ?
4. The problem is that we want to use master planning. The item A is a finish good but will be sell in different packed material size.
