The LoMag system enables production processes, including assembling products based on raw materials available in the warehouse. It also allows the use of raw material substitutes during the product assembly process.
Thanks to this functionality, new products can be created from available raw materials, while their stock levels can be easily monitored to reorder supplies in time.
To define a product, it must be properly marked. To do this, open the item register by clicking the Item Register icon. Then select a specific product and click Edit, or double-click it. You can also find the product using the Item Search. In our example, the product is apple-pear juice.
In the opened window, select the Product option. This will add a new tab called Raw Materials to the list of tabs.
To define the raw materials required for assembling a product, go to the Raw Materials tab. To add specific raw materials, click Add.
You can then add raw materials from the item list and specify the quantity required to produce the product. In our example, we add 5 kg of pears and 5 kg of apples to produce 1 package of juice. Confirm the added items by clicking Save.
It may happen that certain raw materials required for assembling a product are not available in the warehouse. In such cases, substitutes can be used. To do this, select the raw material for which you want to define substitutes and click the Substitutes button. In our example, this applies to apples.
To add substitutes, click Add and in the newly opened Search window select the appropriate items from the list and confirm by clicking Select. In our case, these are red apples and green apples. Then close the window and confirm the changes by clicking Save.
To produce, i.e. assemble the product, go to the Documents menu and select Assemblies.
Create a new assembly by clicking Add. A new window titled New Document: Assembly will open. LoMag can automatically assemble the product using available raw materials. To do this, click Add in the Products section and select the product from the list. In our example, this is apple-pear juice.
The program asks whether to add the product’s raw materials. Confirm by clicking Yes.
If everything is correct, save the assembly by clicking Save. After refreshing the warehouse register, you will see that a new product has been produced from the existing raw materials.
