Alternative Components in the BOM

Added by riccardo bernardi over 6 years ago

Hello,
is there any way to manage alternative and equivalent raw materials in the recipe management?
For example, when the products are similar because of a different supplier/manufacturer or when the products are indeed different but with an equivalent function.

Thanks in advance.

BR,
Riccardo.

Hello,

You can create a model of raw material and add to it a composition list. We call that a generic raw material.

Then you add you supplier raw material to it with unit percent (GEN 1 = [50% RM1 , 50% RM2]). In your product you use the generic raw material.

Data lists on generic raw material will be formulate as this :

  • Nutrient, physico, cost: mean
  • Alergen, LabelClaim, Ingredients, geo origins : worst
