So I’m new here. I’ve been reading and watching many of your instructional examples/articles/videos, and I’ve learned a lot. Grist seems like an amazing tool. But I feel like I’m still missing something when it comes to using it for inventory tracking and creating BOM (Bills of materials).
I have an e-commerce startup, and we produce our own products. So we buy raw materials, convert them into finished goods (using BOMs), distribute finished goods to warehouses, and sell goods to various vendors. I’ve played around with several of the templates/examples on here, and where I keep getting stuck is when trying to reduce the inventory of raw materials when making a finished good/product. In your restaurant example, I see how the BOM is created, but it doesn’t appear to create entries that reduce the amount of raw materials and increase the amount of finished goods. Am I missing something?
Furthermore, is it possible to get more granular within a particular raw material item and track different lot numbers and prices for those different lot numbers since prices vary over time?
Thanks for any and all tips and suggestions!
