Wait, can you really just create a new Bill of materials like that?

I feel like I might be mixing up production pools and production groups. Is a production group really the right choice here?

This question seems similar to one we practiced about cost allocation. I think creating a production group makes sense for tracking costs.

I remember we discussed production groups in class, but I'm not entirely sure how they tie into the ledger postings.

Okay, I've read through the question a few times now, and I think the key is to create a production group for the finished good item. That should help tie the raw material costs to the final product.

Haha, this is a real head-scratcher, isn't it? Maybe we should just toss a coin and see where it lands. Or, you know, consult a ouija board or something. Can't be any worse than our current options.

Wait, wait, wait. What if we create a new Bill of materials with alternate costs for the raw material? That could work, right? Gotta think outside the box!

Hmm, I'm not sure about that. Wouldn't it be better to create a production pool for the finished good item instead? That seems like a more straightforward solution.
