Re: FW: Partial Quantity Issues

Just to clarify, Scrap Factor and Yield are two (2) different things in
BPCS.



The BOM Scrap Factor is applied to the specific Component on the BOM. Each
BOM Component can have a Scrap Factor defined. That is, a 2% Scrap Factor
would be expressed as 1.02000. This value is used as a multiplier for the
BOM Quantity Required for the Component in order to calculate the Total
Quantity Required. So, if the BOM Quantity is 100, the Planned Quantity
(which is used for MRP, SFC, and CST) will be 100 * 1.02 = 102.



Yield is applied at the Parent Item and is expressed as at percent (e.g.
95). In effect, a 5% increase will be required for the Parent Quantity in
order to achieve the desired Resulting or Planned Quantity. The impact is
that Yield on the Parent will appear as if the Scrap Factor has been applied
to each of the BOM Components. But, that impact is because the Parent
Quantity is increased which in turn will blow through the BOM.

YIELD is sometimes known as "scrap factor."

The field is MBM.BMSCP



Default is 1.0 meaning 100%.

1.08 means consume an extra 8%.
