By-products tab
The By-products tab of a production document contains the list of by-products that were created during production.
By-products are additional outputs of manufacturing. For example, metal shavings are by-products of the bushing production.
This tab is only available if Process type is set to Convert from Work-in-progress.
To learn about the By-products tab fields, see the following table:
Field | Description |

Transfer to (by-products) | A warehouse (and optionally, a storage bin) where the by-products will be stored. The Storage bin field is only available if the Inventory accounting by storage bins checkbox is selected in Settings > Purchases/Warehouse. |
Product | A by-product name. The list of values is based on the Products catalog and includes products of the Inventory type. |
Variant | A by-product characteristic such as color or size. You can specify a variant if accounting by variants is enabled and applies to the by-product (in the by-product's product card, the Variants checkbox is selected on the Additional data tab).
