MRP Scheduling with a material with multiple production versions scrap rate

[Former Member]

Greetings all.

I have a problem with MRP scheduling. How do you account for different loss rates or scrap rates on a material because of multiple versions of a material that are in production. For example, we have an item. There are two differen ways to make that item and both have different loss rates or scrap rates. How do we account for this. And whatt happens when you have these with multiple routings. Thanks.

Dear,

It can be handled in 3 ways.

1st way - Create 2 versions to represent 2 ways of production. Create a 3rd version name it as total and make it as a first version so that MRP will take this version for scheduling. In total version give the most correct scrap qty and timming in routing. Hence when you run MRP system will consider the total version, then change the varsion in planned order as per your requirement.

Second way - Create 2 version and if you are using Demand planning, in MD61 against the qty represent the version number so that when youn run MRP, the planned order will carry the version.

3rd way - Create 2 Production version and create a quota arrangement and assihgn these two Production version as Quota items and give the % share. Hence when youn run MRP system will share the demand qty into two different version as per Quiota arrangement(setting in MRP2 is necessary fir planning).

Please come back which one you are looking for so that we can give furthur information

Hello Victor,

Mean to say, material is produced different combination BOM & routing. Then you must have used the production version to select mutiple BOM and routing.inthat case you can maintain Assembly scrap & component scrap & operation scrap at Material BOM.(CS01) .
