https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamicsax-2012/appuser-itpro/about-catch-weight-itemsThe proposed solution of setting up the product as a catch weight item with batch control, with the catch weight unit as the box and the inventory unit as pounds, does appear to meet the stated goal of being able to perform transactions at the box level while also recording the net weight of goods shipped to a customer.
A catch weight item is a product that is typically sold by weight but may have varying weights, and its weight is recorded during the production process. By setting up the product as a catch weight item, the manufacturing company can accurately record the weight of the seafood in each box and thus determine the price of each box based on its weight. This approach ensures that the company can perform transactions at the box level while also accurately pricing the products.
By configuring batch control, the company can group items into batches and track them accordingly. In this case, each box of seafood can be assigned a unique batch number, which can be used to track the net weight of goods shipped to a customer. By recording the batch number of each box, the company can easily track the weight of the seafood in each box and calculate the total weight of the goods shipped to a customer.
Setting the catch weight unit to box and the inventory unit to pounds also helps to ensure accurate tracking of the weight of the seafood at different levels of the supply chain. By using pounds as the inventory unit, the company can easily calculate the weight of the seafood in each box and determine the appropriate price based on the weight. The catch weight unit of box can be used to indicate the packaging level at which the seafood is sold, which in this case is at the box level.
Therefore, based on the above analysis, the proposed solution does appear to meet the stated goal of being able to perform transactions at the box level while also recording the net weight of goods shipped to a customer. Hence, the answer is A. Yes.
