Could be used in many different scenarios, as for example:
- fabric cutting
- all kind of animals farming for meat
- CNC cutting, etc.
Rather for Manufacturing Category, if such is planned to be opened.

Product families does not cover it mostly because of the cost calculations for different outputs. You need also to specify somewhere the coefficents for quantities and cost rates as there may be situation where the quantity output of one of the produced part is large but the cost of the item is actually very small.There was a product named naviMeat, I worked with in Customer site, what had this feature (no associations with the company - I do not know do they even exist any more)

Hello,To complet the need, this function is required for us as we work in plastics recycling:We recive one mixe and we separate it in different type of plastics or other wast.I tryed the "family" possibility, but there is no link with an input article!And more problematics for us: the lot tracability work only for one separated article (output).This is about 80% of our production orders !Improvement should be planned to simplify the production management.Sincerely

This sounds like Production Families but maybe with some extra features to make it more viable in some situations. Please review how a family works (which is terribly documented) and maybe rewrite the ask?Since you can output the co-products of the family individually, the tree log example would mostly work... The challenge would be that each item has it's own BOM (presumably with one common component on each) and pro-rating the actual amount of the tree between the items is the tricky part in this. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-ca/dynamics365/business-central/production-how-work-familyhttps://community.dynamics.com/blogs/post/?postid=fecdcec5-05f2-4650-8f65-0098ab458f39

I also have the problem that I have one Production BOM and multiple Output Items Or one item with multiple Variant Codes.Product families do not support variant Codes. Is this in the Road Map that this will work in the future?

Is MS going to make a solution for this problem this century?.

I can't believe it's been already 4 years and still this functionality is missing.

This is a must-have feature to implement the system for almost any industrial manufacturing plant. How many votes does this need to be worked on?
Category: Manufacturing
How many votes do you need to add this feature to BC?. I do not understand why BC has no improvements on manufacturing area since 1999.

Also necessary for the recycling businesses

Thank you for your feedback.
Have you analysed the Production Families feature: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/production-how-work-family, could you specify the missing functionality?
