    Am I missing something? When recording output from a production journal, I am receiving an error that it won’t allow me to proceed because the output exceeds the original order quantity. I have bypassed this before but am drawing a blank. Thanks in advance!

    The only way I have ever been able to achieve this on additional by-product being produced (ie. cutting a piece of bar stock or stamping tags out a flat piece of sheet metal where you have already factored in potential scrap for the raw material), is to increase the production order line qty (not the production order header qty) and then completing the output and then changing the production order line qty back to what the original planned output qty was so that it doesn’t affect the required amount of material needed for the production order qty. However, you can also leave the increased qty on the line, along with the increased component demand, and just click that OK when you change the status to FINISHED. “Production Order xxxxxxxx has not been finished. Some consumption is still missing. Do you still want to finish the order?”


    However, without more specifics into the product being manufactured/produced and your costing method, it is difficult to say where you could see the variances of making more out of the same amount of material consumed. I hope that helps.
