Christian, Being able to define an unlimited number of by-products (and setting the associated quantities) is not incorrect. By-products are not the (surplus quantities of the) components issued, nor are they other end products.
If pizza is the intended end result of a production run, then that is the end product. If you have issued more dough than needed, than the surplus is returned to inventory (for convenience sake other aspects like quality de If a bolt with 2 washers and a wingnut is your intended end result of a production run, then that is the end product that goes into inventory. And it is limited. If you have issued more washers than needed in the production run, then the surplus is returned to inventory (as a correction on the issuance). In the pizza analogy, the surplus dough (let us say 100 grams) can be regarded either as a returnable good (correction on issuance 100 grams) or as a by-product (e.g. waste as a result of quality degradation) that can potentially lead to cost recovery. In the latter case, the by-product cannot be the component issued but must be different product.
