Scenario:

• While processing BOM journal for a finished product item that has semi-finished products (Sub BOM) that could have [Auto-report as finished] enabled, currently the system is either consuming the semi-finished products or if there is no on-hand then it explodes their raw material ingredients.

Idea:

• Add an option to explode sub BOM items that have [Auto-report as finished] into separate/Multiple BOM journals.

Challenges:

• In such a scenario where the semi-finished product is [Auto-report as finished] enabled then the semi-finished product will never be consumed but instead their raw material. This will impact the financial entry posting as semi-finished inventory accounts will not be affected while in real business the posting profile of semi-finished products should be used.
• Since the semi-finished items won't be reported as finished, the users will not be able to provide reports about the semi-finished products that have been produced.

Workaround:

• The possible workaround is either allowing negative on the semi-finished product through item model group or on the warehouse level so the system will post separate/Multiple BOM journals.
