Batch Produced Chemical with Different Packaging

237 Views

Hi,

We produce large batches of chemicals (5 tons), which may be packaged in multiple package sizes (60 - 120 -1000 kgs). Due to the large number of products and possible package combinations, it is not feasible to create multiple material records for each item.

Another alternative seems to be using the packing options from EWM, but that requires the chemical to be in stock, but in reality it sits in a reactor somewhere. Also, the same production order may contain packing instruction of many sizes etc. all together (such as 10x 60l, 5x 120l, rest in large tank).

Is it possible to use something akin to material variant / configurable material in this case? Or is there a better option of dealing with this situation?
