Co-production

246 Views

Hi Gurus,

I have a tpical scenario. Rawmaterial P gives P1, P2, P3 as output and these are inspected after which they are graded as P1A, P1B, P1C, P2A ... depending on the quality, P1A being of superior quality and higher value than P1B.

P -->> P1 --> P1A, P1B, P1C

P2 --> P2A, P2B, P2C

P3 --> P3A, P3B, P3C

Option which i was thinking was define P1, P2, P3 as co-products. After GR for these material in the inspection lot do a material to material transfer from P1 to P1A, P1B etc according to the grading results. But this would show incorrect results in COPA as we will be producing P1 and selling P1A... which is a major hurdel to this solution.

Can some one suggest a different possible solution to this. Restriction: cannot define P1A, P1B, P1C, P2A, P2B.... as co-products as it will be difficult to calculate approponment factors with with nearly 16 coproducts and the MES whic is interfaced with SAP cannot handel such large qty of coproducts.

Regards

Abhishek
