Define Product Structure

Product Structure defines how CGIC products (like Onina Tissue or Luca Engine Oil) are built from components and sub-assemblies.

This hierarchy enables

-Accurate production planning

-Cost roll-up calculations

-Inventory tracking of nested components

-Simplified manufacturing of complex products

Key Concepts

-Parent Item: Finished product (e.g., Ovita Waters 500ml).

• -Child Items:
  • -Raw Materials: Base components (e.g., bottles, caps).
  • -Sub-Assemblies: Intermediate items (e.g., “Pre-Mixed Oil Blend” for Luca Engine Oil).

1.0 Step-by-Step Setup

1.1 Create Sub-Assemblies

Define reusable intermediate products:

1. Go to: Stock > Items > New Item
2. Set Item Type: Sub-Assembly.
3. Example:
   • Item Code: PRE-MIX-OIL
   • Item Name: Pre-Mixed Oil Base for Luca Engine Oil

1.2 Build Parent-Child Hierarchy via BOM

Link components to finished goods:

1. Go to: Manufacturing > BOM > New

2. Configure:

   • Item: Select finished product (e.g., “Luca Engine Oil 5W-30”).
   • Quantity: Output quantity (e.g., 100 liters).
   • With Operations: Enable if assembly steps exist.

3. Add Components:

   Item	Type	Qty
   PRE-MIX-OIL	Sub-Assembly	95 L
   ADDITIVE-PKG	Raw Material	5 L
   20 units	20 units	20 units

2.0 CGIC Product Examples

Onina Tissue

Level	Item	Type	Qty
Parent	Onina Tissue (24-pack)	Finished Good	1
↳ Child	Tissue Core Rolls	Sub-Assembly	24
↳ Child	Pulp	Raw Material	5 kg
↳ Child	Adhesive	Raw Material	0.5 L
↳ Child	Packaging Box	Raw Material	1

Valdana Bread

Level	Item	Type
Parent	Valdana Bread Loaf	Finished Good
↳ Child	Dough Batch	Sub-Assembly
↳ Child	Packaging Sleeve	Raw Material

3.0 Key Features

• Cost Roll-Up: Auto-calculates total cost (e.g., Pre-Mixed Oil + Additives = Luca Oil cost).
• Nested Manufacturing: Produce sub-assemblies first (e.g., make Dough Batch before baking Valdana Bread).
• Version Control: Track BOM revisions for formula changes.
