Co-Parting with Different Quantities Each Time

Maybe this isn’t even possible, but reaching for advice here.

We have a manufacturing process for hose that sometimes create by-products sometimes does not. We try to make a certain length of hose, but if there is a defect, the hose gets cut, and can be sold at whatever length that hose was before the defect. If there was no defect, the product is only part A rather than part A and part B.

Is it possible to set up co-parting to enable a user to choose the quantity produced or does everything have to be standardized for this process to work?

Might be a good candidate for Salvage?

I know we have users here who are familiar with it, but I personally have never tested it.

Do you have to define a quantity on the method or can it be different each time? We may have a hose length that is 60’, the next time it could be 460’.

I think that’s what might make salvage work for you. It happens afterwards where co-parts are defined at the start of the job.

I will have to try it out. Thank you.
