One-to-Many solution is a custom NetSuite module designed to handle by/co-product manufacturing scenarios. It provides a centralized, automated system designed to streamline your production process, from initial setup to final assembly.
The One-to-Many Application groups Work Orders into batches, which are then transformed into Assembly Builds for processing. NetSuite handles inventory and costing. This solution is compatible with standard or average costing, as well as NetSuite Inventory Management features, including bins and lot numbers. The module includes costing customizations that can distribute costs, such as labor, across the Work Order batch.
The One-to-Many application supports Inventory Items and Assembly Items, which together enable flexible configuration for one-to-many product structures.
Cut Templates are configured directly on the component item and specify how many units of each assembly are typically produced from one unit of the base component.
The BOM outlines the quantity of each Component Item (e.g., raw materials or ingredients) required to build the Assembly.
This solution provides complete visibility and control over inventory. Except for Serialized Inventory, you get:
Generate production batches using your defined Cut Templates. Simply enter the "Original Quantity" of your raw material, and the system dynamically calculates the estimated output of all derived components.
The One-to-Many module includes custom costing functionality to help automate the handling of non-One-to-Many Components, to automatically apply costs that are either:
Streamline your workflow from raw material intake to component assembly.
Manage all your production data and processes from a single, integrated platform.
Always know the status of your production, from estimated outputs to actual completions.
Gain precise insights into component yields and losses with dynamic calculations.
Reduce manual effort and potential errors through an intelligent, automated system.
In NetSuite, a One-to-Many solution is a custom module specifically designed to handle by-product or co-product manufacturing scenarios. It is tailored for manufacturers who need to track and manage the complexities of producing more than one product from the same manufacturing process.
Businesses should consider a One-to-Many solution when their manufacturing process produces more than one product simultaneously, such as co-products (equally important products) or by-products (secondary outputs). If you need to track costs, inventory, and production details for several outputs from the same production batch, this custom module helps automate and simplify those complexities, improving production efficiency and reporting accuracy.
Since NetSuite’s standard manufacturing functionality is primarily designed for single-product outputs, challenges arise in tracking multiple products simultaneously in one production run. Without a custom solution like One-to-Many, businesses might face complex manual processes, inaccurate cost allocations, and difficulty maintaining consistent inventory records for by-products or co-products. Developing and maintaining this custom module also requires technical expertise and ongoing support.
