Bill of material inventory

[raj_nann]

I would like to know how to set up bill of materials ex: We produce juices in bottles, for this we get raw material from suppliers to create 1 carton = 50 juice bottles of finished products, I need the following:

• Empty PET bottle = 50 units
• Caps = 50 units
• Labels = 50 units
• Juice = 10 liters
• Carton box = 1

This finished carton box will be sold to customers and, how to mention about the damaged caps/bottles.

Now I’m simply entering raw materials received from suppliers. Created a raw material account under expenses. This is simply increasing the expense category?

There is going to be special module for manufacturing, for the time being, assembly of new inventory items must be recorded as journal entry (Journal Entries tab).

Consignment and assembling from inventory items

Once again, thanks for this amazing software. It’s really helpful! I have three questions/issues with respect to inventory: I use consignment for part of my business and need to account for inventory in-house as well as consigned items that are not yet sold that I deliver to stores. How can I account for inventory in different locations? My company purchases several different items and then assembles them in-house into “kits”, which are then sold as such. However, these items are also so…

How to handle assembly of new inventory items

Anyway to adjust/add to inventory without a purchase invoice? For example, I buy a large amount of a product. Some of it gets resold as is, some of it get’s added to and modified before selling. Is there a way to take part of my purchase out of one inventory category and put it in another after I’ve modified it for selling?
