Question #: 80
Topic #: 1

A company uses Process manufacturing for most products and Discrete manufacturing for other products. The company is creating a formula for a new product. The new item will be used to make a name brand product and two generic brand products.
This item has the following requirements:
Production of the name brand and generic products must use the same formula.
The company must produce all three items at the same time.
You need to create a produced item that can make two generic items and one main item.
How should you set up the item?

A. Create the name brand item as a Bills of material production type item.
Add the two generic items on the Bills of material for the name brand product and use line type phantom.
B. Create the name brand item as a formula planning production of type formula.
Create the two generic items as a formula planning production of type formula.
Copy the formula from the name brand item into each of the generic items.
C. Create the name brand item as a Bills of material production type item.
Create the two generic items as a sub-assembly on the Bills of materials for the name brand product.
D. Create a product as the main product and use a planning item production type.

Selected Answer: D

A and C are incorrect, since it has Bill of Material in the name and not Formula. B is incorrect, as planning items are not used for the components of a formula. For this scenario, specify the generics as co-products instead. As they need to be produced at the same time.

Selected Answer: D

A planning item is a virtual item used in process manufacturing to group co-products and by-products produced in a single production run. It serves as a placeholder to define the formula and manage the production of multiple output items. By creating a planning item as the main product, you can define a single formula that represents the production process for all three items (name brand and two generics). The name brand product and the two generic products are set up as co-products of the planning item. Co-products are items produced simultaneously in the same production process, sharing the same formula, which aligns with the requirement to produce all three items at the same time using the same formula.

Create the name brand product as the main product and use a formula production type. Create the two generic products as co-products as part of the formula for the name brand product. - Co-products within a single formula can work well for process manufacturing. - By defining the name brand product as the main item and including the two generic products as co-products in the same formula, we achieve the desired outcome. - This is the recommended approach, and is most like option D.
