RE: [BPCS-L] Scrap

Yes, that is the way it works.  The BOM is only there to help you plan.  The 
real scrap posting is in Shop Floor Posting (SFC600) or Inventory 
Transactions  (INV500).  This is where you report the actual.  At a previous 
position I had different scrap % for different items on the same BOM. We 
only reported a difference if the actual was more than 10% over the plan 
scrap.
