Consider an alternative method for scrap management, that posts the "scrapped" product to a "subproduct" item code in a specific warehouse:

Configuration wizard changes:

New parameter for Scrap management (THIS IS AN INITIAL CHOICE THAT CANNOT BE CHANGED ONCE FIRST WORK ORDER IS CREATED):

1. Standard (With material consumption and no posting to stock)
2. Advanced (With posting to stock of subproduct)
3. In the case the choice is = "Advanced", then on item master will be mandatory to select subproduct code for scrap management and in configuration wizard you'll have to choose a default warehouse for subproduct posting. This warehouse can lately be changed during product receipt

Process changes:

To create a new item code representing the scrapped product. If scrap management is "Advanced" it is MANDATORY to assign this item code TO ALL PRODUCTS THAT ARE STOCK MANAGED AND HAVE A BOM.

- At work order creation time, if SCRAP has been assigned on item master data, this value will be inserted in the cut-off quantity field of the position header. This will then be used as default quantity for the scrap quantity field when posting the product IF THE CONFIGURATION WIZARD PARAMETER IS "ADVANCED".

- At the Production Time Receipt registration, IF SCRAP MANAGEMENT IS ADVANCED, the subproduct code will be shown in the window. The System automatically creates a good receipt for the scrapped quantity of the finished product as per value of the field scrap.

- In a chosen-form-list, at time receipt, the default warehouse will be selected and can be changed by the user.

- The procedure calculates the value of the GR as PER EVALUATION METHOD SELECTED AT THE CONFIGURATION WIZARD FOR POSTING ASSEMBLIES.

  Hi Luigi,

  I'd like to add some questions, suggestions and features request, since the development is at the beginning:

  1- New parameter for Scrap management (THIS IS AN INITIAL CHOICE THAT CANNOT BE CHANGED ONCE FIRST WORK ORDER IS CREATED):

      This seems quite a strict lock, similar to SAP option of choosing continuous stock : is it so? Would it be possible to activate this feature on an existing DB, where work orders were created years ago?

   

  2- PER EVALUATION METHOD SELECTED AT THE CONFIGURATION WIZARD FOR POSTING ASSEMBLIES.

  Does this mean that it will evaluate the value of the scrap as a wip (with components and time receipt already issued) ?

   

  3- Process changes:To create a new item code representing the scrapped product. If scrap management is "Advanced" it is MANDATORY to assign this item code TO ALL PRODUCTS THAT ARE STOCK MANAGED AND HAVE A BOM.

   

  It would be amazing if the scrap article could be defined "on the fly" with some coding convention (a.e. finished product code + "-SCRAP"), not to be assigned as mandatory in master data. This item should be already assigned a generic quality control to generate a quality control order.

   

  Thanks!

  This functionality would be very useful for companies which sell the scrap product!
