We are a casting house and our BOM includes the total amount of metal poured into the mold. About half of that metal comes back in the form of gates and risers to be recycled once the part cools. I would like to show the receipt of that processed metal back into inventory shortly after it has been poured. Is there a way to do this?
Our sister company can do this by auto-issuing with a negative quantity in Syteline. Visual doesn't like negative quantities that I can see. I have tried co-products but there doesn't seem to be a good way to automate the receipt of them, especially at the time of pouring. It seems like they would only be received once the part enters finished goods and that can be a few months after pouring.
Ideas?
