Per Series BOM Quantities for packaging - Best way to handle?

(2) ShareShare

Posted on by 59
What's the best way to handle BOM quantities for packaging the work on a per series basis?  Example - In the BOM of a part I want to account for the consumption of a pallet.  I would like the consumption of the pallet to work as follows.  For 1 to 20 parts I want to consume 1 pallet.  For 21 to 40 I want to consume 2 pallets etc.   So, if I have a production order for 25 parts then I would consume 2 pallets.  If I have a production order for 15 parts, then I would only consume 1 pallet. 
 
Thanks,
Kai

    Hello @Kai Stankey,

    In standard Business Central, BOMs only support per-unit or fixed consumption, so they can’t directly handle tiered logic defined by you. If you want to automize this, you need a small customization that calculates pallets by rounding up the production order quantity.

    Hope this answer will help you!
