Specifies the percentage of the item that you expect to be scrapped in the production process. It is used to calculate unit prices and net requirements.
If the item is a parent, then the scrap percentage represents scrapped output before putting away in inventory. It the item is a component, then the scrap percentage represents scrapped consumption, when picking from inventory.
If you define a scrap percentage for a component item, it means that more components will be withdrawn from inventory than the production order calls for.
 Note |
|---|
| Scrap defined on component items increases the quantity picked for consumption. It does not increase the expected output quantity of the parent item. |
Example
If you know that to output 100 parent items, you have to consume 105 units of the component item and scrap five units in the process, then enter 5 as the scrap percentage. This means that 5 percent more units of the component is picked and consumed.

In this field you can enter a figure indicating which percentage of the material part of the item you expect to be scrapped during the production process. When you use the item in a BOM Component Line, the value of this field will automatically be filled into the Scrap % field.
