Use

Scrap is that portion of a material which does not conform to quality standards and which is not reworked. You can plan the scrap that is expected to be produced in the Logistics master data (in %), so that requirements planning can react with regard to production. Material requirements can be increased or reduced depending on the amount of scrap.

You can include the planned scrap quantity in the cost estimate, and display it in the costed multilevel BOM. You can also display the costs for the planned scrap in the itemization.

Features

You can plan various types of scrap:

· Assembly scrap in the material master record (MRP view 1)

· Component scrap in the material master record (MRP view 4) or in the BOM

· Operation scrap in the BOM or routing

The types of scrap have differing effects, as follows:

Costing includes the cost of planned scrap by creating the quantity structure (the BOM and routing) using the entries for scrap in the Logistics master data. The quantities and activities used are costed using this quantity structure. When you calculate the standard price for a material in a cost estimate, this price contains the costs for planned scrap.

Scrap costs are assigned to the relevant cost components (such as raw material or machine costs) and can be shown separately for a material in the costed multilevel BOM.

Note

It is not possible to plan scrap in the itemization (such as the cost estimate without quantity structure).

You can also calculate scrap variances (that is, the value of unplanned scrap quantities) when you are Structure link calculating variances at period-end closing in Structure link Product Cost by Order and Structure link Product Cost by Period. This value is determined by valuating the scrap quantities with the amount of the actual costs less the planned scrap costs. You can settle the scrap variances to Profitability Analysis.
