Component Scrap of Non-Issued Material

Hello,

When using the Component Scrap function from Shop Floor workbench, we have two options. 

  1. Report Component scrap of Non-Issued Material - IFS allows us to do this only when a component has not been issued at all to the shop order.
  2. Report Component scrap of Issued Material - IFS allows us to do this only when there has been some quantity of the component part number issued to the shop order. 

This becomes an issue in the following situation: We have a shop order that consumes, through backflushing, 100 pcs of component part number “123”. We report 50 good pieces of the assembly, which backflushes 50 pcs of component part number 123. The 51’st piece of part number 123 is bad. We want to do a component scrap of non-issued material, but since material has already been issued to this shop order, the system will not let us do it.

 

What is the best way to report scrap of this 1 component piece?

 

Thank you,

Matt

Hi Matt, 

The 51st piece should still be in inventory since it hasn’t been issued. Can you simply scrap from inventory and not as “component scrap”?

We always issue to the shop order what we physically stage at the work center, which is almost always somewhat more than we need and is required based on the Qty per Assembly and is enough to cover expected scrap.  This will allow us to scrap issued material.  When we’re done with the order and scrapping, we unissue whatever was issued and not backflused or scrapped.

 @mksouthwick   Seems like it is working as you expect in App 10.

As long as material already issued to Shop Order is used (consumed), the “Scrap Non-Issued Material” tab is what is available.
