Reprocessing In Production Order

Question

Dear Friends,
                       I'm implementing SAP B1 in one of Chemical Plant. There I have one scenario in production. Scenario is like I have to do the production of finished product by issuing the same finished product have old lots of material. Means its a kind of reprocessing of finished material.
                      Can you please help me to resolve such kind of production in SAP B1 production module?
Regards,

Dear Sirs,
              We can always make anything possible using addons but generally Add ons
has very short life or we can say tht anytime it can stop to work. But most of the things
are possible functionally. But it takes time to think over and take out some right solution
  but ultimately we get solution. Such kind of solution I would like to suggest here if I'm
wrong then please tell me.
            My Solution is not to create Goods Issue and Goods receipt direct from inventory
transaction, My Solution is not to create the additional semifinished level item,
My solution is not to reject the material and again receipt it.
            My Solution is that we need to create only one item extra in whole database whose valuation
Method should be Standard so that we can easily update the item cost manually.
            Now first create the disassembly production order in which our parent level item would be Finished
product which we need to issue and take this newly created item on child level. Now Plan it and the release it.
Then dont touch this disassembly production order. (Note: Before creating the disassembly production order
change the item cost which would be equal to finished product.)
            Now create one special production order where parent item should be same as in disassembly
production order. And On child level put this newly created item with the same planned quantity which we need to
issue during disassembly item and if req. take another raw material also.
            Now do issue for production and first click disaasembly production order button and selct disassembly
order reference which we just released. and then click production order button and selct the special
production order reference and select the another raw materials excluding newly created item.
            After doing this our costing will come out for components. In disassembly order we get the loss of
finished product qty as we are only issuing the material & simultaneuosly if we observe the special order costing
tab then we get some value in component cost field which will be because of issue of other raw material in
special order.
            Now go to receipt from production and again press receipt from production button and select the
special production order reference. After receiving the finished product just observe the costing. It will show
the extra gain as much we lost in disassembly production order.
            In this way we can issue the materials and can receipt the matrials and we get proper costing too.
Thanks & Regards
