Subdivision of Quantity Fields
You can subdivide the quantity fields Yield, Scrap, and Rework into further fields in order to enter and evaluate certain quantities on a targeted basis. Thus, for example, you can subdivide the Scrap field into several scrap fields (e.g. scrap due to bent parts, scrap due to scratched parts, etc.)
Customer-specific fields
You can enhance the confirmation transactions by adding further customer-specific fields in order to collect additional data for your analyses.
Automatic generation of quality notifications
To optimize the evaluations of faulty materials produced, you can specify that the system is to automatically create quality notifications when the incidence of srap is confirmed. On the basis of these quality notifications, you can investigate why there has been a higher incidence of scrap for a certain material for example. You can also specify that the system is to automatically create a quality notification for the confirmation of good quantities (yield) and rework.
