Bom

Hi all,
I have some questions regarding ERPNext.

  1. If my manufacturing process involves different ingredients and ingredients quantity everytime a manufacturing process happens, should I still use BOM (and keep creating new ones everytime)? Or should I just use stock entry instead? What is the difference entering data between the two methods?
    the problem is… The quantity produced also changes everytime…

  2. Is it possible to restrict a user to read BOM contents? How about restricting a user to produce some products?
    Eg. User A can’t read the ingredients used to produce Product X. User B can’t produce Product Y but everything else is OK.

The reason being is I only want the business owners to be able to see the recipes. Our business is a foodstuff manufacturing business where there are many recipes that only business owners should know.

Thanks

Considering the variability in manufacturing item and its qty, you should directly make Manufacturing/Repack entry in the Stock Entry. It will be just a single entry for manufacturing of an item.

Stock >> Stock Entry
Purpose = Manufacturing/Repack

Items:
Select raw-material items and enter only Source Warehouse for them.
Select manufacturing (FG) item and enter only Target Warehouse for it.

On submission of Stock Entry, raw-material items will be deducted from Source Warehouse. And finished goods item will be added in the Target Warehouse.

2. Is it possible to restrict a user to read BOM contents? How about restricting a user to produce some products?
Eg. User A can't read the ingredients used to produce Product X. User B can't produce Product Y but everything else is OK.

You can set User Property to restrict user to specific records. Check following link to learn how permission system works in ERPNext.
