Scrap from discrete work orders not accounted for in MRP

[gcheak]

MFG/PRO 2008.1

Our shop runs on discrete work orders. Through the manufacturing process, at any operation, we may scrap a certain number of parts and report the scrap qty in 17.7 Operation Scrap Transaction. This scrap qty is not reflected in MRP.

Has anyone found a workaround for this?

I think you should be using Work order recipt to get it accounted into MRP.

We are using 16.19 Work Order Operation Backflush as the parts move through the operations. The problem is, we may scrap a significant number of parts at an operation. We need MRP to see this and adjust planned orders accordingly.

Does your set up show scrap qty separately under mrp detail report? Scrap % is set in formula/bom maint. MRP plans ord qty + scrap = demand qty.

MRP detail does not show scrap qty in our system. I can accumulate the reported scrap per work order, no problem. I need to find a way to reduce WIP by that amount so that MRP does not consider it as supply. It appears that MRP only considers the work order qty ordered.

Scrp will show up in MRP report. Is scrap set up?

When receive qty comp ( Ord - Scrp), the QOH increases thats will get MRP to show updated supply. Is that not the case.
