I have been looking into the new Co-product feature in 25R1 and it seems ideal for our needs except for one major flaw.  

  • Parent part must not be multi-level tracked

For this feature to be of any use to us we would require both the parent part and the co-product to be lot tracked. Even in the example given in the release presentation of two castings made in the same mold it makes no sense to only be able to lot track one of the castings. 

Can anyone explain the logic behind this? Surely if I am making two products that are equally valuable then I should be able to track them equally?  Will tracking of the parent part be available in future releases?

Having the main and co-product part multilevel tracked would require you to be able to distribute the consumed material between the different produced parts. You would need to create one as-built structure for the main product and another for the co-product. 

This would be great, but a rather large implementation.

If you don't require the multilevel tracking you can still use the lot back tracking.
