Hello all, I’d like advice on how to manage this situation in IFS Cloud.
We buy SS sheets of 20 ft2, however we use 16 ft2 of the sheet. The issue we currently have is the sheet is purchased in ft2 UoM and the BOM is listing 16 ft2 for production. Hence the production consumes 16 ft2.
That said, the remaining 4 ft2 of the 20 ft2 sheet is not necessarily scrap (it can be used for smaller parts or on other BOM).
The problem is, when consuming many 16 ft out of 20 ft, the remaining 4 ft2 are cummulating, showing in IFS the total inventory in ft2. So manufacturing could believe we have 16 ft2 to manufacture, when in reality we have 4x 4 ft2, not usable for this BOM (but usable for other BOMs).
How can/should this be managed in IFS? I feel our way is not correct, but I’m unsure of the correct way.
Thank you!
