# Create co-product/by-product processes

A careful setup of the co-product/by-product process master data is required to work correctly with the system.

## Steps

1. In the search box, enter **Co-Product/By-Product Processes**, and then choose the related link.
2. On the **Home** tab, in the **New** group, choose **New** to open an empty co-product process card.

The top part of the co-product process card is the co-product/by-product process header. The bottom part of the card contains the co-product/by-product process versions.

The data entered on the co-product/by-product process header applies to the whole co-product/by-product process. Enter the co-product/by-product process's production components on the co-product/by-product process version. Every co-product/by-product process must have a minimum of one version.
3. In the **No.** field, enter the appropriate co-product/by-product process number, which identifies the BOM uniquely. You can use Anywhere Mobility Solutions combination of numbers and letters.
4. In the **Description** field, enter a description for the co-product/by-product process.
5. On the **Versions** FastTab, choose **Actions** and then choose **New Version**. The **Co-Product Process Version** page appears.

The **Co-Product Process Version** page contains the co-product/by-product process lines where you enter the data for the items to be processed and other production BOMs. You can also use co-product/by-product process lines to enter necessary text.
6. Fill in the fields.
7. When you are done, change the **Status** field to **Certified**.
