Co-/By-Product Orders
You can retrieve co-/by-product joint order sets in the workbenches.
The workbenches let you schedule discrete joint product order sets. These sets include:
• One base order
• One or more co--product orders
• One or more by-product orders
The workbenches display base items in the Scheduling Grids. In the Schedule Grid, you can generate a joint product order set by either creating an order for the base process or for a co-product.
The base item production order contains all master data for the joint order set, such as BOM data, routings, and so on. The base scheduled order is for scheduling the co-/by-product orders to track quantity completed and requirements for the schedules.
It is important that you know that for co-/by-product orders (joint order set), when you schedule co-by product orders, the system creates a joint work order set. The orders have the same WO number, and the relationship among them is defined technically. When you modify any order in the set, the system immediately synchronizes changes across all orders in the set.
