Bulk Feed BOM Considerations

the finished material will have a stocking unit measure based upon one TON

The BOM for a Bulk Item

The Item ID for the Bulk Item's BOM

Other than the Item ID difference (inclusion of a TN for Tonnage), the Item ID and Item Type are identical to that of the bagged product.

The BOM Details is the same as the bagged product.

The Formula Result Unit is the difference creating
a single bulk Ton for the Ton of BOM raw materials

In this example, the approximately 2,000 pounds of raw materials will create TN1 (1 TON, 2,000 LBS) of finished material.

Partial Builds are allowed when a
decimal value is present with the BOM

If there is the possibility of a "partial" build of a finished product, indicate a decimal value.

Upon selecting within the General tab and then Build Item, the system will present the Build Item from BOM screen. Bulk Feed BOM Considerations

The Finished Material

Per Ton variant of the Item ID
for the Bagged Product

The 2745 is the standard SKU for the bagged product. In this case, 2745TN is the indicator that this is the bulk SKU for the 2745 SKU. The 2745TN will track and manage the retail price and current inventory of this finished good. Typically, the On-Hand quantity will typically be zero since once the finished bulk material is created it is delivered shortly there after and billed (shipped) to an invoice.
