Water as Floor Stock

[Licenciada]

I have to make a Bill of Materials where the water is the main material. How can I configure the water? Do I have to configure a warehouse for Floor Stock? I don´t know how I handel it.

Floor stock items are raw materials that don't need to be picked because they're already on the shop-floor. Instead of being charge to COGS, floor stock items are charge to an expense account which you setup manually.

In the BOM, you'll need to assign raw materials to an issue-to site. This site is where component items are issued for use in production.

Is your company a discrete or process manufacturing, GP Manufacturing is targeted to discrete not process manufacturing.

I have a client that water is 75% of the end product. It is plumbed directly into manufacturing process. They do not use floor stock. They use inventory adjustments to increase water (large qtys) and then use normal MO processing to handle consumption. It seems to work for them.
The water bill is compared to BOM useage and reconiled monthly.

Good Luck........

The system would work with any environment but process manufacturing isn't going to work 100%. In discrete mftg, 1 qty of raw material is still 1 qty when the end product is manufactured but in a process mftg, a 100 grams of water can be less or more after the end product is produced and GP manufacturing can't work in this environment. That's why I was asking which one are they going to use it for.
