Hello. I am looking how best to setup a fixed material quantity for scrap during the setup of a pick and place machine.
I see the Assembly Scrap % and Component Scrap % in the material master, but what we need is to accomodate for a fixed quantity of scrap for every order that is issued.
For example if I have Assembly ABC and component XYZ:
BOM setup:
Assembly ABC
-Component XYZ - Qty 20
MM setup:
Assembly ABC has assembly scrap rate of 10%
Component XYZ has component scrap rate of 5%
The pick and place machine requires a fixed quantity of 8 ea - this is the quantity that I need to know where to place
Order 1 requires 10 ea of Assembly ABC
Assembly scrap requirement: 10 assemblies + 10% scrap = 11 assemblies
BOM requirement: 11 assemblies x 20 components = 220 components
Component scrap rate requirement: 220 components + 5% = 11 components
Fixed quantity per order: 8 components
Total component XYZ needed: 220 + 11 + 8 = 239 ea
Our current proposed solution is to add a second line on the BOM for component XYZ as a Fixed quantity, but this is very cumbersome due to the quantity of BOMs and components involved.
Is there a more elegant way to accomodate this fixed quantity requirement in the Material Master? Or elsewhere?
Thanks!
Jeff
