Introduction

The Aptean Production Scenarios extension allows setting up multiple production scenarios for the same output item. Items can be produced in several ways. For example, a labeled jar of jam can be produced from the scratch, but can also be produced based on a semi-finished product. Here, both scenarios use a different BOM and Routing. Another example is that the same production item can be produced on multiple production lines in different locations using different raw materials, ingredients, and/or packaging materials. Therefore, one can set up multiple production scenarios where per scenario a specific BOM, Routing and Location code must be assigned to the same output item. Furthermore, it is possible to assign one production scenario per location as a default. When creating production orders, the default production scenario is applied.

The user can set up a Production Unit of Measure for every Production Scenario, and it overrides the Unit of Measure originally taken from the Production BOM No. and Routing No. fields.

The Production scenarios are also used to change the BOM, Routing, and Production Unit of Measure for a production order or a requisition line in one go via the Change Production Scenario function.
