MFG/PRO 9.0 User Guide Volume 3: Manufacturing - QAD.com

Qty Type. Enter B for batch, P for percent, or leave blank to indicate
per base process unit.
Process. Enter the percent per batch when Qty Type is Percent. This
is calculated automatically when Qty Type is Batch.
Cost Allocation. Enter the percentage of base process cost to be
allocated to this co-product. If Co/By Type is B, an allocation
percentage cannot be entered.
The costs for co-products and by-products are calculated using the
same MFG/PRO programs used to calculate regular costs. Once costs
are rolled up for a base process (yielding gross cost), by-product costs
are subtracted to arrive at the base process net cost. The entire net cost
is then allocated to co-products of the base process. Allocation
percentages for all co-products of a base process should, therefore,
add up to100 percent.
Structure Type. This field is display-only and always set to J (Joint).
3 Set up formulas or product structures used to define the ingredients or
components required for a base process. You can use Process/
Formula Maintenance (15.18) or Formula Maintenance (15.5). To
enter a product structure, use Product Structure Maintenance (13.5).
Parent Item. Enter the base process item number.
Component Item. Enter components of the base process item.
When adding a formula, you can enter a batch size. Use Batch
Quantity Change (15.9) to modify a formula’s batch size.
4 Set up routings for the base process using Process/Formula
Maintenance (15.18), Process Definition Maintenance (15.13), or
Routing Maintenance (14.13.1).
• In Process/Formula Maintenance, enter the base process in the
BOM/Formula Code field.
• In Process Definition Maintenance or Routing Maintenance, enter
the base process in the Routing Code field.
