Topic: Bulk Manufacturing

I am in a bath and body business and when for eg manufacturing  lip sticks, it is not economical to just produce 1 lip stick.

How can I use the Work order and BOM to produce 10 lip  sticks at a time?

To further clarify, I have created a BOM which is design for 10 lip sticks. However, when I create a work order, if I entered 1 for quantity, in actual fact I am getting 10 lip stick. But the stock will only be count as 1 lip stick.  Any suggestion on how do I get around this problem?

Thank you very much

Re: Bulk Manufacturing

In the BOM you define the products that are included in 1 item (1 lip stick).

When you manufacture you enter the number of lip sticks you want to produce. Any problems with that?

Re: Bulk Manufacturing

Thank you Joe. Never think of it in that way. 

So I suppose what I will do is divide my formulation by 10.

My environment is somewhat similar to baking a cake. Sell by pieces but bake a whole cake.
