Scrap question Vantage 8.03

We do both: on traditional jobs, NC'ed labor qty (inspect failed/DMR rejected) has no path back to a job as a labor qty.
Â
KanBan receipts we have learned to report full qty produced as good and immediately scrap the inventory if all pc's bad. (You're right: it doesn't like ONLY a scrap qty being reported.)

All,

We have went around and around trying to figure out how to calculate "on the job" reported scrap costs but have had no luck doing this in Vantage 8.03. Can someone tell me what is the purpose of claiming manufactured scrap at the end of the day? We can find no transactions that deal with anything related to scrap. I would love to find out what other companies do in this regard. We know that if we claim non corformance instead of scrap, we will get transactions and costs which we like but we would love to have the same capability just "scrapping" the stuff instead of having to do this. Again, what "benefit" if any is there for reporting actual "scrap". Please let me know! Thanks!

Mike, we report scrap. This drops material inventory and keeps the cost of finished goods accurate. You can see the scrap in Job Tracker, labor transactions. Also, if you print out Production Detail reports, the scrap is on there as well.Â
Using the Non-conformance creates DMR's which puts the questionable material into QC. Good if it needs to be re addressed by QC. Scrap is garbage.Â

As said, but the other important item is notification for production issues in V8.03. By reporting scrap, a decision can be made to:

- issue additional materials and create additional parts.

- create a new job or increase an existing job to make up for the decrease in finished parts.

- ignore the scrap as production was preprogrammed for scrap.



As said, the cost for scrap stays in the job. With a non-conformance, you have the ability to remove those costs to DMR and record the “Cost of quality”.

Charlie is right on.
Â
The only caveat to using NC labor qty's entered (to ultimately get the scrap out of job and funneled through the DMR path) is if you utilize the Job Qty Yield Process to have our job prodqty reduced as labor scrap is reported (so downstream OPs complete when reported short of original job full qty, loading adjusts for losses, job completion batch processing encounters many less exceptions that require manual review & action, etc.,).
Â
NC qty (if inspect PASSED), goes back into the job as a labor qty - but if inspect failed/DMR rejected, never hits the job as a scrap qty that would trigger the Job Qty Yield process to reduce the jobprod qty.
Â
You are also doing more data entry to go the NC to DMR reject route - but it may be of value if you are truly using your QC processing as a proactive tool to continuously improve processes.
Â
I would like to the inspectors would spend the time to clearly determine root causes and use that information (perhaps over time via Pareto analysis) to also work towards eliminating the causes of scrap.
Â
Production people - who for either NC or Scrap qty entry have to enter a Reason Code - tend to be (but this is certainly not always true) less likely to expose their own performance lapses (or others they work with or rely on to succeed).
Â
You have to make a determination on the pain vs gain reality of where you are now as a company (understanding that the equation may change as skills increase & processes improve in the future).
Â
The costs are captured in either case.

Can I just ask if you are reporting your scrap via Labor Entry or Kanban Receipts? There is a bug in the system where if you enter a scrap quantity via Kanban Receipts without a Production Quantity the LaborDtl table is not updated.

Guys, thanks for the all the responses.

Rob, you mentioned the “costs” are captured in either case. I’m not sure what you mean with that statement. The ONLY reason we were considering running manufactured scrap through the NC/DMR/Reject process was so we COULD get the costs of the scrap since there ARE transactions made in the system when this occurs and they have the costs associated with it. We have NEVER been able to calculate the costs of mfg scrap from just reporting it in labor entry (and we can find NO GL transactions that occur when we report it). PLEASE, if you know of ANY way that this can be done, BY ALL MEANS let me know as this is THE one major issue we have with it. We need to know what the manufactured “scrap” costs are, in addition to the overall job costs. Please elaborate on the statement that the “costs are captured either way”. Thanks!

Charlie is right on.

The only caveat to using NC labor qty's entered (to ultimately get the scrap out of job and funneled through the DMR path) is if you utilize the Job Qty Yield Process to have our job prodqty reduced as labor scrap is reported (so downstream OPs complete when reported short of original job full qty, loading adjusts for losses, job completion batch processing encounters many less exceptions that require manual review & action, etc.,).

NC qty (if inspect PASSED), goes back into the job as a labor qty - but if inspect failed/DMR rejected, never hits the job as a scrap qty that would trigger the Job Qty Yield process to reduce the jobprod qty.

You are also doing more data entry to go the NC to DMR reject route - but it may be of value if you are truly using your QC processing as a proactive tool to continuously improve processes.

I would like to the inspectors would spend the time to clearly determine root causes and use that information (perhaps over time via Pareto analysis) to also work towards eliminating the causes of scrap.

Production people - who for either NC or Scrap qty entry have to enter a Reason Code - tend to be (but this is certainly not always true) less likely to expose their own performance lapses (or others they work with or rely on to succeed).

You have to make a determination on the pain vs gain reality of where you are now as a company (understanding that the equation may change as skills increase & processes improve in the future).

The costs are captured in either case.

We saw no place to just collect scrap costs so I wrote a BAQ/Crystal Report that reports scrap costs. Besides the Material cost based on the Scrap quantity reported I do some calculations to determine how much burden time was used for any scrap reported. I have groupings (sorts) for Scrap Code, Operation Code and Resources (and combinations of those).

Guys, thanks for the all the responses.

Rob, you mentioned the “costs” are captured in either case. I’m not sure what you mean with that statement. The ONLY reason we were considering running manufactured scrap through the NC/DMR/Reject process was so we COULD get the costs of the scrap since there ARE transactions made in the system when this occurs and they have the costs associated with it. We have NEVER been able to calculate the costs of mfg scrap from just reporting it in labor entry (and we can find NO GL transactions that occur when we report it). PLEASE, if you know of ANY way that this can be done, BY ALL MEANS let me know as this is THE one major issue we have with it. We need to know what the manufactured “scrap” costs are, in addition to the overall job costs. Please elaborate on the statement that the “costs are captured either way”. Thanks!

Charlie is right on.

The only caveat to using NC labor qty's entered (to ultimately get the scrap out of job and funneled through the DMR path) is if you utilize the Job Qty Yield Process to have our job prodqty reduced as labor scrap is reported (so downstream OPs complete when reported short of original job full qty, loading adjusts for losses, job completion batch processing encounters many less exceptions that require manual review & action, etc.,).

NC qty (if inspect PASSED), goes back into the job as a labor qty - but if inspect failed/DMR rejected, never hits the job as a scrap qty that would trigger the Job Qty Yield process to reduce the jobprod qty.

You are also doing more data entry to go the NC to DMR reject route - but it may be of value if you are truly using your QC processing as a proactive tool to continuously improve processes.

I would like to the inspectors would spend the time to clearly determine root causes and use that information (perhaps over time via Pareto analysis) to also work towards eliminating the causes of scrap.

Production people - who for either NC or Scrap qty entry have to enter a Reason Code - tend to be (but this is certainly not always true) less likely to expose their own performance lapses (or others they work with or rely on to succeed).

You have to make a determination on the pain vs gain reality of where you are now as a company (understanding that the equation may change as skills increase & processes improve in the future).

The costs are captured in either case.

I know I'm joining this conversation a little late, but we've struggled
with all of your same issues.
We landed on a very simple solution. All of our jobs are make-to-stock. Mfg
Receipts of good parts to a nettable bin, Mfg Receipts of scrap parts to a
non-nettable bin. When we collect enough scrap, we will Qty Adjust with a
specific reason code pointing to a specific GL account.
This solution may not work for you, but it works very well for us. We are
working with consigned material and our scrap can be reclaimed.

Doesn't that affect your average cost of the part? Or do you use a synthetic part number to move the parts to inventory?

I know I'm joining this conversation a little late, but we've struggled with all of your same issues.
We landed on a very simple solution. All of our jobs are make-to-stock. Mfg Receipts of good parts to a nettable bin, Mfg Receipts of scrap parts to a non-nettable bin. When we collect enough scrap, we will Qty Adjust with a specific reason code pointing to a specific GL account.
This solution may not work for you, but it works very well for us. We are working with consigned material and our scrap can be reclaimed.

We saw no place to just collect scrap costs so I wrote a BAQ/Crystal Report that reports scrap costs. Besides the Material cost based on the Scrap quantity reported I do some calculations to determine how much burden time was used for any scrap reported. I have groupings (sorts) for Scrap Code, Operation Code and Resources (and combinations of those).

Guys, thanks for the all the responses.

Rob, you mentioned the “costs” are captured in either case. I’m not sure what you mean with that statement. The ONLY reason we were considering running manufactured scrap through the NC/DMR/Reject process was so we COULD get the costs of the scrap since there ARE transactions made in the system when this occurs and they have the costs associated with it. We have NEVER been able to calculate the costs of mfg scrap from just reporting it in labor entry (and we can find NO GL transactions that occur when we report it). PLEASE, if you know of ANY way that this can be done, BY ALL MEANS let me know as this is THE one major issue we have with it. We need to know what the manufactured “scrap” costs are, in addition to the overall job costs. Please elaborate on the statement that the “costs are captured either way”. Thanks!

Subject: Re: [Vantage] Scrap question Vantage 8.03



Charlie is right on.

The only caveat to using NC labor qty's entered (to ultimately get the scrap out of job and funneled through the DMR path) is if you utilize the Job Qty Yield Process to have our job prodqty reduced as labor scrap is reported (so downstream OPs complete when reported short of original job full qty, loading adjusts for losses, job completion batch processing encounters many less exceptions that require manual review & action, etc.,).

NC qty (if inspect PASSED), goes back into the job as a labor qty - but if inspect failed/DMR rejected, never hits the job as a scrap qty that would trigger the Job Qty Yield process to reduce the jobprod qty.

You are also doing more data entry to go the NC to DMR reject route - but it may be of value if you are truly using your QC processing as a proactive tool to continuously improve processes.

I would like to the inspectors would spend the time to clearly determine root causes and use that information (perhaps over time via Pareto analysis) to also work towards eliminating the causes of scrap.

Production people - who for either NC or Scrap qty entry have to enter a Reason Code - tend to be (but this is certainly not always true) less likely to expose their own performance lapses (or others they work with or rely on to succeed).

You have to make a determination on the pain vs gain reality of where you are now as a company (understanding that the equation may change as skills increase & processes improve in the future).

The costs are captured in either case.

>We have went around and around trying to figure out how to calculate "on the job" reported scrap costs but have had no luck doing this in Vantage 8.03. Can someone tell me what is the purpose of claiming manufactured scrap at the end of the day? We can find no transactions that deal with anything related to scrap. I would love to find out what other companies do in this regard. We know that if we claim non corformance instead of scrap, we will get transactions and costs which we like but we would love to have the same capability just "scrapping" the stuff instead of having to do this. Again, what "benefit" if any is there for reporting actual "scrap". Please let me know! Thanks!

We use average cost and yes, it does effect the cost per piece. Example: We reported accumulated scrap by reporting 1 piece to stock (won't allow only scrap to be reported) and 100 peices to scrap. This inflatted the piece price to $44.00 instead of the real price of $0.44.Â
This is an open call with epicor as we speak.Â
If we have accumulated scrap we qty adjust.
We have a report that tells how many pieces produced vs scrap reported giving a % of scrap. This helps determine if production needs to be adjusted when quoting future jobs.  Â

I go from Labor Detail back to the other tables since this is where I can grab Scrap Qty, Labor Rate, Burden Rate along with some other fields

BAQ TABLE LINKS
LaborDtl -> JobOper
LaborDtl -> Reason
LaborDtl -> Resource
LaborDtl -> Resource Group
LaborDtl -> JobHead
LaborDtl -> JobOper

(All Inner Joins, No Criteria)

BAQ FIELDS
LaborDtl.AssemblySeq
LaborDtl.BurdenHrs
LaborDtl.BurdenRate
LaborDtl.ClockInDate
LaborDtl.EmployeeNum
LaborDtl.JCDept
LaborDtl.JobNum
LaborDtl.LaborQty
LaborDtl.LaborRate
LaborDtl.LaborNote
LaborDtl.OpCode
LaborDtl.OprSeq
LaborDtl.ResourceGrpID
LaborDtl.ResourceID
LaborDtl.ScrapQty
LaborDtl.ScrapReasonCode
LaborDtl.LaborDtlSeq
Reason.Description
Reason.ReasonCode
Resource.Description
ResourceGroup.Description
JobOper.QtyPer
JobHead.PartNum


Like I stated earlier I have a few different ways to sort (group) in Crystal that is why I have Resource and Resource Group as part of the BAQ.

My basic calc for determining, the best I can, the time it took to produce the scrap is based on the LaborDtl record when Scrap is entered . (Burden Hours / (Good Qty + Scrap Qty) * Scrap Qty * (Labor Rate + Burden Rate/60)).

I had to look at my report again but I have a SubReport doing a ODBC call for Material Costs

JobMTl SubReport LINKS
LaborDtl -> JobMtl
JobMtl -> JobOper

Various fields to calculate the Material Costs and then supply back to the Main Report.

Hope that helps get you started

We saw no place to just collect scrap costs so I wrote a BAQ/Crystal Report that reports scrap costs. Besides the Material cost based on the Scrap quantity reported I do some calculations to determine how much burden time was used for any scrap reported. I have groupings (sorts) for Scrap Code, Operation Code and Resources (and combinations of those).

Guys, thanks for the all the responses.

Rob, you mentioned the “costs” are captured in either case. I’m not sure what you mean with that statement. The ONLY reason we were considering running manufactured scrap through the NC/DMR/Reject process was so we COULD get the costs of the scrap since there ARE transactions made in the system when this occurs and they have the costs associated with it. We have NEVER been able to calculate the costs of mfg scrap from just reporting it in labor entry (and we can find NO GL transactions that occur when we report it). PLEASE, if you know of ANY way that this can be done, BY ALL MEANS let me know as this is THE one major issue we have with it. We need to know what the manufactured “scrap” costs are, in addition to the overall job costs. Please elaborate on the statement that the “costs are captured either way”. Thanks!

Charlie is right on.

The only caveat to using NC labor qty's entered (to ultimately get the scrap out of job and funneled through the DMR path) is if you utilize the Job Qty Yield Process to have our job prodqty reduced as labor scrap is reported (so downstream OPs complete when reported short of original job full qty, loading adjusts for losses, job completion batch processing encounters many less exceptions that require manual review & action, etc.,).

NC qty (if inspect PASSED), goes back into the job as a labor qty - but if inspect failed/DMR rejected, never hits the job as a scrap qty that would trigger the Job Qty Yield process to reduce the jobprod qty.

You are also doing more data entry to go the NC to DMR reject route - but it may be of value if you are truly using your QC processing as a proactive tool to continuously improve processes.

I would like to the inspectors would spend the time to clearly determine root causes and use that information (perhaps over time via Pareto analysis) to also work towards eliminating the causes of scrap.

Production people - who for either NC or Scrap qty entry have to enter a Reason Code - tend to be (but this is certainly not always true) less likely to expose their own performance lapses (or others they work with or rely on to succeed).

You have to make a determination on the pain vs gain reality of where you are now as a company (understanding that the equation may change as skills increase & processes improve in the future).

The costs are captured in either case.

Mike - You're right: We've built so many reports that utilize our own logic to value scrap that I've forgotten at a Vantage level, what you describe is true. (The numbers we get with our custom reports aren't perfect & don't feed financials - but from a quality perspective are good enough as at least they are calculated consistently - and allows us to focus our efforts where they will have biggest positive impact.)
Â
About the only way I can think of to truly capture job scrap total costs is to split the job (of the scrapped qty) and then receive it (NC'ing the received inventory & ultimately scrapping it through DMR) as it will have the actual cost value of materials lost & cummed labor invested lost up to the point of labor scrap entry.
Â
On a native level, it does otherwise just all lump it together as job cost variance.
Â
We're moving to (v9) Epicor ERP next spring (testing should in a few weeks) & I'll be curious to see if this has been addressed at all.
Â
Rob

>Rob, you mentioned the “costs” are captured in either case. I’m not sure what you mean with that statement. The ONLY reason we were considering running manufactured scrap through the NC/DMR/Reject process was so we COULD get the costs of the scrap since there ARE transactions made in the system when this occurs and they have the costs associated with it. We have NEVER been able to calculate the costs of mfg scrap from just reporting it in labor entry (and we can find NO GL transactions that occur when we report it). PLEASE, if you know of ANY way that this can be done, BY ALL MEANS let me know as this is THE one major issue we have with it. We need to know what the manufactured “scrap” costs are, in addition to the overall job costs. Please elaborate on the statement that the “costs are captured either way”. Thanks!

Thanks Rob.. I just came from the Insights conference recently and from what I was told, nothing has changed regarding this issue in V9……
