Hello all,
I am a new user and would much appreciate your support!
I am very confused by the way that SAP calculates the committed quantity for a production order. In my BoM I have 3 items which are introduced at different stages of the routing. A quantity is stated against each. I have noticed that in each of these items there is a "Operation Scrap %" when I go into the detailed view. In addition, in my router in CO03 I have a scrap percentage against various operations.
When I look at an actual production order and look at the committed quantity, it does not reflect what is in my BoM. It appears to somehow have used the scrap percentages in the router, or the "Operation Scrap %" in the BoM (or a combination of both) to inflate the planned material quantities.
I have also noticed that the committed quantity is different between different production orders. Again - I can't figure out what SAP is doing here?
Can anybody help me with how SAP uses the various pieces of information in the BoM and router to calculate planned material quantities?
Many thanks in advance,
Christian
