David - We use the bill of material scrap factor field (MBM.BMSCP) for scrap allowances for planning purposes. This same scrap factor shows up on released shop orders (FMA.MSCP) for each component on a shop order's bill. We have some front end shop floor entry programs (developed in house) that use the FMA scrap factor to issue material as a CI (non-scrap issues) or CS (scrap issues). We then track the CS quantities to monitor scrap performance. Don Lynch Business Systems Architect Interface Solutions, Inc.

We are looking to find some information on how to capture the cost of scrap within MRP systems. It has been suggested to us that scrap is captured in the bill of materials by inflating the quantity per unit by the scrap percentage. So a component with a quantity per unit of 1 and an average scrap rate of 2% would have a new quantity per unit of 1.02. However this will have implications for the current system of inventory processing and control (which we are keen to avoid!). Is anyone out there currently using or aware of an alternative method? Ideally I think that there should be an additional field separate from the BOM that captures scrap percentages for MRP purposes. If anyone out there can offer any guidance or assistance on this one, it would be very much appreciated. +--- | This is the BPCS Users Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to BPCS-L@midrange.com. | To subscribe to this list send email to BPCS-L-SUB@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to BPCS-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner: dasmussen@aol.com +--- +--- | This is the BPCS Users Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to BPCS-L@midrange.com. | To subscribe to this list send email to BPCS-L-SUB@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to BPCS-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner: dasmussen@aol.com +---
