The BEEF-RIBEYE family was created in JustFood.
The Family BOM No. is FAM-BEEF-RIBEYE, which includes the FAM-RAW-00001 item. The FAM-RAW-00001 item will be consumed when the BEEF-RIBEYE family is produced.
When the BEEF-RIBEYE family is produced, the following items will be output:
- FAM-FG-00001
- FAM-FG-00010
- FAM-WIP-00001
- FAM-WIP-00002
Note
When you look at the Family BOM Overivew FactBox, you can see that the JFP-F-BAGSHRINK item must be consumed to produce the FAM-FG-00001 item.
The BEEF-RIBEYE family uses the FAM-FG-00001 and FAM-FG-00010 routings. These two routings use the following work centers:
- MEAT-100
- MEAT-200-CRY
- MEAT-300-VSP
The 300 plant device was set up to show the following work centers:
- MEAT-100
- MEAT-200-CRY
- MEAT-300-VSP
A production order was created for 6 of the BEEF-RIBEYE family.
In Plant, the 300 device was selected, which is the one that contains the MEAT work centers.

When you search the item numbers to consume, you can see the FAM-RAW-00001 item, which is the family header component, and the JFP-F-BAGSHRINK item, which is consumed to produce the FAM-FG-00001 item.
