Would you happen to lot control? If so the finished good lot number would be
a means to link a customer order to a shop order and its associated scrap
transactions.

Subject: [BPCS-L] Scrap in Cost of Sales

Is scrap (which we report viia labor JIT600 which ends up in RJ 
transactions in ITH) reflected in any cost-of-sales files in BPCS 405 CD, 
that we could data mine?

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.
