Al, If you have yield factors in the bills-of-material, then your scrap costs are part of your standard cost. When you originally set up BPCS you must have put the yield factor on the finished goods, which inflated the shop order requirements (and std. costs) to compensate for the anticipated loss. One thought I might have for you would be to set your scrap percentage as a "by-product", or "co-product" (depending on how you want the costs to break out) in the B/M. The co-product designation would separate the cost for the specified percentage of scrap from the "good" product (problem would be that you would end up with an on-hand balance of a scrap item, but you would have it "captured" If the scrap had an salvage value, you could reflect it in the price of the scrap item). The by-product would assume that the scrap item has no value, and may actually add cost to dispose of it.

We also have 8% yield on selected raw materials to compensate for a perception that scrap is under-reported. I run various reports for management (a) how much $ in some date range involved in scrap, broken down various ways (b) material component cost as a percentage of $ billed I was recently asked if scrap $ included in cost of goods sold I am 99% sure that it is not because scrap is part of ACTUAL reporting, while our cost reports are based on the STANDARD When we first setup BPCS eons ago, we put in an expected scrap rate of 2%, but that led to MRP telling us to make 2% extra across the board, which we did not want, so we took that out of our standard. We have sub-components in our BOM structured so that they could conceivably end up on more than one customer # of end item, but I guess we could look at actual sales of those end items in the month of production, and the following month, and pro-rate the scrap as probably being for a customer with concurrent activity. I am looking for ideas to get a report that shows cost of scrap by customer for some date range. - Al Macintyre http://www.ryze.com/go/Al9Mac BPCS/400 Computer Janitor ... see http://radio.weblogs.com/0107846/stories/2002/11/08/bpcsDocSources.html
